Choosing Your Veil

By Jamie Quinn

From showing off your style to giving a nod to tradition, the right veil has the power to completely transform your bridal look.

Just like your dress, your veil should be a reflection of your personal style and overall vibe of your wedding. If you’re a timeless, classic bride, a cathedral style veil might be just right. However, if you’re creating a more boho vibe, then a flowy, nature inspired veil with floral details might be the one.

Your veil and dress should be BFFs, not rivals. When you’re veil shopping, take along a picture of your dress to make sure the fabrics and detailing match up. If your dress is all about intricate beading or lace, go for a veil with a similar look to keep things harmonious. But if your dress is simpler, don’t be shy to rock a more elaborate veil that adds a touch of drama – it’s all about balance.

The length of your veil is the secret to nailing your bridal look. Shorter veils, like elbow or fingertip length, are super versatile and can work with all sorts of dress styles. Perfect for outdoor celebrations and a more laid-back ambiance. If you’re wanting something more traditional opt for a longer veil – like cathedral or chapel length – for that extra dose of elegance.

The veil you choose isn’t only about creating a stunning look – it’s about letting your true self shine and feeling like a superstar as you celebrate your special day!
