Choosing a Veil for Your Wedding Dress

Ever since we were little, we've dreamed of the day we'd one day be in one of those pristine white, fluffy, and elegant wedding dresses we attend. What's the most important accessory that completes a wedding dress? Of course, the veil. Brides, especially those long, floor-length veils that cascade down to their shoulders, are enough to dazzle us with their beauty. Choosing the right veil for your wedding dress will make you look even more elegant and beautiful.

Instead of a veil, you can adorn your hair with pearls or daisies, or simply opt for nothing at all. However, veils, used since Ancient Rome, are a key symbol of innocence, making them a must-have for any wedding dress. When choosing a veil, factors such as current trends, the style of the wedding dress, your own personal style, your outfits, and your body size are key factors. So, what kind of veil should we wear, and which veil would look best on us? We'll try to answer these questions.

Long Veils

If you'd like to wear a long veil over your wedding dress, it should be at least 2.5 meters long. A veil this long will make you look more elegant. Of course, a long veil will make it difficult to move freely throughout the wedding. Therefore, to easily remove your veil later in the wedding, you can secure it in your hair with a small, stylish clip.

Short Veils

If you want to highlight the style of your wedding dress even more, consider a short veil. This veil will make you look more elegant, especially if you're choosing a low-cut gown. You can also enjoy the benefits of wearing a short veil throughout the wedding. It's easier to wear than a long veil. Short veils are a good choice for those who want a more modern and elegant look. Besides looking stylish, they'll also cover any cleavage you have in the back. If you prefer a two-layered look, both long and short versions are a great option.

Veils on the Elbow

You can also choose a veil that extends from your head to your elbow. Approximate lengths range from 60-65 cm. If you choose an elbow-length veil, carefully align the point where the veil ends and the wedding dress begins. This is crucial for both your wedding dress and your appearance.

Veils That Come to Your Fingertips

If you prefer a simple wedding dress, you can choose a veil that reaches your fingertips. Embroidered stones or patterns on the ends will make your otherwise simple gown look even more elegant. This style, often worn with long wedding dresses, is also perfectly suited for lace. These veils are up to 90 cm long. Don't worry about how I'll move my arms or how difficult it will be to pull this veil together. Because it's so comfortable, you won't have any trouble with it.

Lace Veil

Lace veils, which have become particularly popular in recent years, are available to brides in thick or thin, short or long lace styles. These veils, which enhance the elegance and sophistication of a wedding dress, have become increasingly popular in the past year. It's also worth noting that French lace is currently more popular. If you're tall, opt for chunky lace styles, while if you're short, opt for thin lace styles.

Cathedral Type Veil

This veil, measuring approximately 3 meters, will add a more traditional touch to your wedding gown. If you prefer a classic look, this veil is perfect for you. If you're planning a more historic wedding, your veil will complement the atmosphere of the venue. If you're tall, this veil style will be more suitable. If you're shorter, wearing it can make you appear even shorter.

Nun Style Veil

Those who prefer a nun's veil may choose to forego it simply because they don't want to wear their hair in a bun; but don't worry, you can easily wear this veil with loose hair. You'll also need bridesmaids to hold your veil behind you, as there's a high chance it will trip. These veils are more popular for formal weddings, and you can enhance the look with your choice of lace design.
