Nothing says “bride” quite like a veil. Think about it, when else in your lifetime are you going to wear a veil? Not only does it make you stand out from the crowd, it also looks great in photographs! So what kind of veil is right for you?

Blusher veil: A single layer of tulle. Can be used either alone or as the shortest section of a two-tiered veil. Blusher veils are traditionally worn over the bride’s face during the ceremony.

Elbow length veil: Any veil style that touches your elbows. Very versatile and complements endless gowns.

Fingertip veil: Any veil that touches your fingertips.

Cathedral/Chapel veil:  A formal, dramatic veil that cascades to the floor.

Birdcage veil: Popular in the forties and fifties, these stylish veils are making a huge comeback.

Besides choosing a length, you can choose beads, crystals, pearls, lace or piping for the edging. I hope I gave you some ideas before you totally swear off a veil for your big day!
