Hints for Choosing a Bridal Veil

It is generally best to choose a headpiece style that is in proportion to your dress and has similar styling (pearls, sequins, flowers, etc.). Keep in mind the style of your dress and the formality of your wedding when looking for and trying on bridal veils.

Headpiece Styles

* A Simple Floral Wreath can open up your face and add just the right touch to a semi-formal dress.
* A Wreath With Pearls and Flowers with a pouf on the back can be very elegant with a formal dress.
* Tiaras are always elegant. Think of your jewelry and the color of your gown when choosing the tiara setting. There are four general setting colors: Shiny Silver, Rhodium (antique silver), Shiny Gold and Antique Gold.
* Headband type head pieces are very effective for short hairstyles with bangs and can have the added touch of being created with the same lace, pearls or sequins used for the dress.
* A Floral Cluster or Silk Bow on a comb or barrette can do a beautiful job of pulling hair off your face and work well with long or upswept hair.

Veil Lengths

The veil length is chosen by the formality of your wedding and the decoration on the back of your gown. Guidelines for veil length may help you, but remember, this is your wedding and you should have the veil of your dreams.
