How to Choose the Perfect Veil for Your Wedding Day
You’ve found the dress - the one that makes you feel like you’re floating on air and has everyone reaching for their tissues. Now it’s time to complete your bridal look by buffing out the final details! For many brides there's one specific accessory that really solidifies that bridal feeling - the veil. But with so many styles to choose from, how do you know which one is right for you? Let’s work through the options together!
Sometimes, the best things in life are short and sweet! The blusher veil is a short veil that falls over your face until you reach the altar. It’s that moment of mystery that leaves everyone holding their breath. The blusher veil is perfect for a bride who wants to add a dash of tradition. It’s playful yet classic, and is ideal if you want something light and easily manageable. A blusher layer can also be added with most other length veils.
Not too short, and not too long, an elbow-length veil is exactly what it sounds like - falling gracefully to your elbows. It’s the perfect middle ground if you’re looking for a veil that adds a touch of subtle drama.
The fingertip-length veil is a timeless favorite, falling right at your fingertips when your arms are relaxed. It’s versatile, classic, and adds just enough length to feel special without stealing the show. This veil works with almost any dress style, making it a safe bet for any bride who wants the look of a veil in an understated, yet noticeable, way!
The waltz-length veil cascades down to somewhere between your knees and ankles. It’s long enough to feel dramatic but short enough to keep you light on your feet - perfect for the bride who plans to twirl their way through the reception. This veil length adds a sense of grace, movement, and elegance.
A floor-length veil drapes just to the floor, often matching the length of your gown without creating a train. This style works beautifully with gowns that don’t have a train but still want that sweeping, elegant look. It adds a bit of grandeur to your bridal look without the fuss of managing a lot of extra fabric.
For the bride who isn’t afraid to make a grand entrance, the chapel-length veil extends slightly beyond the hem of your dress, creating a small train that trails behind you. It’s a beautiful way to add drama and romance to your look. Just imagine walking down the aisle, your veil floating behind like something out of a movie.
And finally, the cathedral-length veil - for the bride who believes more is more. This veil is all about drama, cascading far beyond the train of your gown for a look that’s nothing short of breathtaking. If you’re dreaming of a royal wedding moment, this is the veil for you. Just be prepared for the oohs and aahs as you make your entrance.
Choosing the right veil is all about complimenting your dress, your style, and your wedding vibe. No matter what your bridal vision is, there’s sure to be a perfect veil option waiting for you at Something Blue in Houston, Tx.
