How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Veil
Did you know that nearly 65% of brides-to-be wear wedding veils? The question is, how do you choose which veil to wear on your special day?
Read on to learn the top tips from our Orlando bridal team!
At the end of the day, it comes down to your personal style and taste, but there are tips to help guide you as you shop for the perfect one!
When searching for your veil, if you have any ideas for how you might wear your hair, bring a picture with you. Don't forget to bring any headpieces, accessories, or embellishments you may be contemplating.
There is a wide range of color options for veils; choose one that closely resembles the hue of your bridal gown. Ivory might be your best option if you happen to be wearing a blue or blush gown.
When deciding whether to wear a bridal veil, consider the design of your wedding gown. If your wedding dress is more simple, this can be the perfect opportunity to add a little bling, detailing, or other embellishments with your wedding veil. Other features, particularly a statement-back dress, can call for a veil with decorations along the edges.
Another thing to take into account when choosing your bridal veil is to account for your height. For brides of any height, cathedral and shoulder-length veils typically work beautifully. However, fingertip veils typically look best on taller brides, and may make a more petite bride look shorter.
The location of your wedding is something else you might want to think about. A seaside wedding could be a little challenging with a Royal length veil. The same veil would look stunning at a place of worship with a long aisle.
