What to Consider When Shopping for the Perfect Wedding Veil
There is no argument that your wedding dress will be the shining centerpiece of your ensemble on your big day. Picking out your dress will take careful consideration. You may try on dozens of dresses before you find the one that is just right. Be patient. You will know when it is right.
But your dress is just one piece of the puzzle. It is a big piece, of course, but it is also part of a larger whole. Ice cream is the center point of a sundae, but it is the accompaniments that make the flavors shine. A beautiful bridal veil is the cherry on top of your dream wedding day outfit.
Veils come in all different shapes and sizes. It is important to know what is out there before you walk blindly into the bridal shop not knowing what you are after. Here are a few things to take into account before you start your search for the veil that will bring it all together.
<b>How Low Can You Go?</b>
One defining feature of a veil is the length. Veil lengths range from short veils that hang to your shoulders to extravagantly long Cathedral veils that flow gorgeously behind you. The choice is yours.
<b>Blusher Veils</b>
A blusher veil is a formal addition to the front of a longer veil. A small tulle blusher is made of lightweight material and is the type that the bride usually wears over her face during the ceremony. Sometimes the father of the bride flips it back when he gives her away, but for extra dramatic effect, you can have the groom remove it right before he kisses his bride during the ceremony.
The Black Russian Tulle Blusher will give your wedding day outfit a modern edge. It clips to your hair with a black flower that has a shining crystal in the center. The flower itself is 4 ¼ inches across and the blusher is about 11 inches long by 9 ½ inches wide. At the reception, you can remove the blusher completely and take on a whole new look.
<b>Shorter veils</b>
The perfect addition to a daytime wedding is a fun and flirty veil that barely sweeps the tops of your shoulders. Even the most formal gown can take on a carefree air when it is topped off with a short veil. You can even switch from a long veil during your ceremony to a short one for the reception so you don’t have to worry about it interfering with your dance moves.
For a graceful yet demure look, you can’t go wrong with the Short Pencil Edge Embellished Veil. Pearls and rhinestones shine throughout the sheer material of this veil. It comes in either White or Ivory and matches just about any wedding dress of the same color.
<b>Middle Length Veils</b>
Veils that run down to either your elbow or your fingertips are often worn in multiple layers. This gives you extra volume and can make up for brides who like to wear their hair short or in an up do. Veils that run to your elbows will give everyone a better view of your dress, while fingertip-length veils will make your silhouette appear long and flattering.
The Fingertip Length Two-Tier Veil with Scallop Edge is a perfect example of a layered and voluminous veil. It even features sequins and beaded flowers for extra embellishment. It runs to approximately 40 inches in length and attaches with a wire comb. This veil looks best while blowing in a cool fall breeze or while you are spinning wildly on the dance floor.
<b>Cathedral Veils</b>
For the ultimate in fairytale nostalgia, you will want to go with a long and flowing cathedral veil. They are incredibly dramatic and will take your family and friends’ breath away when they first catch a glimpse of it. These veils flow all the way to the ground and often trail behind you.
The Cathedral Length Veil with Scattered Pearls and Pencil Edge flows an incredible 120 inches in length. When that lightweight fabric gets caught in the wind, you will look like a princess atop a high castle turret. This veil is great for a dramatic entrance and gorgeous, creative photographs, but you might want to consider switching to a shorter veil so you can enjoy your reception.
<b>How Intricate Can You Get?</b>
Another thing to think about is how is how detailed you want your veil to be. Some brides just want a simple, long and narrow veil for that dramatic walk down the aisle. Others may want a veil with intricate lace work to make a simple and sleek hairdo take on a whole new look. The choice is yours. There is an unbelievable assortment of veils out there for the modern bride.
When shopping for a veil, it is important to have the same amount of patience you would have while looking for a dress. Don’t be afraid to try on a wide variety of styles before you decide on the one that is right for you. You never know what you might find.
