Hello ladies! What kind of veil will you have on your wedding day?
Here are a list of different kinds of veils for you to look at! Which one is your favourite
Birdcage veils are short veils that are typically made out of netting. They only cover a portion of a bride’s face and fall above the chin. These veils are perfect for brides with a vintage vibe, and they pair especially well with short wedding dresses.
A blusher covers a bride’s entire face and ends around the shoulders. This veil is commonly paired with a longer veil and worn during more conservative ceremonies. At the beginning of a ceremony, the person that walks the bride down the aisle (often the father of the bride) pulls back the blusher to reveal the bride’s face. Or at the end of a ceremony, the groom pulls back the blusher right before kissing the bride.
A fly-away veil falls at or below the shoulders, and it’s another great option for vintage brides or for short wedding dresses. Compared to birdcage veils, fly-away veils make a bigger statement and offer more volume.
An elbow-length veil falls right around a bride’s elbows or waistline.This pick looks flattering with almost any wedding dress style. It’s ideal for a bride looking for an easy, hassle-free veil.
A fingertip veil falls at or right below a bride’s fingertips. This is a timeless and elegant veil length. Fingertip veils have just enough length to add a “wow” factor, but they’re not too over-the-top.
Also known as a waltz or ballerina veil, the ballet veil falls below the fingertips and above the ground. It’s typically knee or ankle length.This style is perfect for brides that love the look of a long veil, but don’t want to commit to a veil that actually touches the ground. With the ballet style, you don’t have to worry about someone stepping on or tripping over your veil.
Chapel veils fall at the ground or a couple of inches beyond a bridal gown. These veils are definitely statement pieces and instantly create a dreamy, romantic feel. Veils at or beyond chapel-length are often removed after the wedding ceremony (and before the reception) so that a bride can walk and dance with ease.
A cathedral veil is the longest veil style—this veil trails behind a bride, well beyond her dress. If you’re looking to create a dramatic effect, then a cathedral veil is the only way to go. Not to mention, this veil style is a wedding photographer’s dream because it lends itself to the most incredible bridal pictures.
Juliet cap veils come in a variety of lengths and have a vintage look that’s tied specifically to the 1920s and 30s.This veil style is perfect for a chic bride with a nostalgic side.
The mantilla veil is another style that comes in different lengths. Typically, a mantilla veil is round and lined with lace. A bride should pin a mantilla veil about two inches from her hairline so that the lace trimming frames the side of her face and drapes downward. This is a gorgeous option to draw attention to a blushing bride’s glowing features.
