Nothing beats the dramatic entrance of a bride wearing a veil when walking down the aisle. Veils are the iconic bridal accessories that add a touch of magic and whimsy to the overall look and they have to flawlessly match the style of the wedding gown. However, veils come in a variety of lengths and styles, and how do you decide which one is the right one for you and your wedding dress as well? Or do you want a wedding veil at all?
To veil or not to veil?
This totally depends on your personal style and your wishes. Some brides love them, some brides really do not want a veil and find it too traditional. So feel free to choose what you want and not what is expected of you.
For those brides who love to wear a veil, follow these tips to ace your veiled look on your big day.
What veil to match your beaded or lace wedding dress?
When you have a beaded or lace gown, try to minimize your veil so that the gown and the veil don’t clash or that the veil takes the spotlight away from the gown. A soft tulle or silk veil that makes the gown shine through it, is always a great option. In case you like a touch of detail, you could go for a detailed rim on the edge of the veil.
And what about minimalistic wedding dresses?
Wearing a minimalistic wedding dress gives you the room to either have a simple veil or to really go all out with a fully beaded, pearl or lace veil to give that extra dimension to your look. Multiple layers are also a great option if you like to create volume.
Which length to choose?
Always wear a veil that is longer than the train of your gown or opt for a short fintertip veil. When you have a veil that falls in your train, the veil
tends to get a bit lost and create a chaotic look from the back. Next to that, long veils tend to make your look more romantic and short veils give more of a playfull touch.
Fabric choices
The best veil fabric is to match it with the fabric of your dress. Do you have tulle in your dress, choose a veil made out of tulle. Do you have a lace dress and want to have a touch of lace in your dress, try to match the lace, ideally the exact same lace. Most designers love to make a matchting veil for your dress, so always ask what the possibilities are.
Blusher veil or no?
A blusher veil creates that more traditioal look, yet also makes it really romantic and a bit mysterious. When choosing a blusher veil make sure there are no embelishments or lace details in front of your eyes.
