Lastly, there are a few exceptions to the "dress and veil dilemma" that will work with any bridal gown. Birdcage veils, bridal blusher veils, wedding pouf, & bridal hats all will accompany any wedding dress style with class and beauty.
Matching Wedding Veils to Type of Event: One would also want to consider the type of event or venue you will be having for your wedding day when selecting a bridal veil. Will your event be formal or informal? An ultra formal wedding usually calls for a long veil such as a cathedral veil or chapel length veil (not a hard fast rule, but typical choice). If your event is less formal, a bride might wear a short veil such as an elbow length veil or even a blusher veil.
Will your wedding be held at a special venue or will your event have a special theme? Choose a bridal veil that fits your wedding venue or theme. For instance, Swiss dot veils or Point D'Esprit veils are great for a garden wedding. For a "Hollywood Glamour" themed wedding one might again go with a birdcage veil and so forth. Our experienced consultants can help with any suggestions.
My Wedding Dress has a Detailed Back. What is the Best Bridal Veil Length to Select?: If your favorite detail on your bridal gown is on the back of your dress, why cover it up, right? However, to suggest one bridal veil length over another is a little difficult because it depends on where the detail is exactly on the back of your dress. Therefore, our surefire suggestion to most brides who have had this question over time is to measure from the point on their head they plan to wear their wedding veil to the point where the detail on their dress begins. This way a bride can have a more exact idea of what bridal veil length to choose that will not cover their beloved detail! If a listed veil length does not fit the measurement they need, it can always be customized to a specific length a bride needs. Then, your great wedding dress details can be appreciated by all!
Secondly, it is helpful to choose a veil fabric that is sheer so the wedding dress details can be seen through the veil as well. For instance, chiffon and organza are not as sheer and translucent as bridal illusion or silk tulle. When in doubt, ask for a veil swatch and hold it up against the details on your dress to see if you can through them. If you plan to wear a two-tiered bridal veil that you fear might cover the details on your dress, fold the veil swatch over to simulate a two-tiered wedding veil.
Veils for Wedding Held Outdoors: One concern for brides choosing a veil for an outdoor wedding is the "wind factor". Wind is a factor whether your wedding will be on a beach, in a garden, on a boat, on a rooftop, etc.... Some brides don't mind the romantic notion of envisioning their wedding veil lofting upwards into the wind, while for others it's a potential nightmare. So if a bride wants to wear a wedding veil for an outdoor ceremony, they might opt for a beaded veil which is a bridal veil with a beaded edge. The beaded trim weighs down the veil, so while it will lift it is less likely to "loft". Additionally, a beaded veil glistening in the natural beams of day or in the evening lights will look exquisite.
Another option is to use a product called, "veil weights". These are small removable Swarovski jeweled ornaments with small magnets that come in a pack of 6 and are specifically designed to weigh down a wedding bridal veil. The can be placed along the edge of the veil. The best thing is they are re-usable as beautiful magnets to show off your wedding photos after the wedding is over. Ask us about "veil weights" if you are interested.
Do I Need to Wear a Veil?: We get this question all the time and the answer is....it depends on you! Perhaps, in more traditional times, a bridal veil was viewed as a must for a wedding. Today, many brides opt not to wear a veil at all and it is perfectly fine. There are plenty of alternatives to ornament the hair such as wearing a bridal headpiece, wedding tiara, bridal headband, or with nothing at all. You might just want to "bling it up" with bridal jewelry alone.
Should I Embellish a Bridal Veil for a Wedding?: This is another personal choice question we are often asked. It really depends upon the bride. Adding embellishments such a soft scatter of Swarovski crystals, rhinestones, pearl, or even a light mix of all of them can add something special to a plain veil. Be creative, accents can be added all over the veil, just at the top or bottom, or along the perimeter of veils for a wedding. Such ornamentation can pick up the details of heavily beaded feature on your wedding dress and add that touch of sparkle. However, if a bridal gown already has a great deal of beaded detail all over, a bride might decide to leave their bridal veil simple and clean so not to compete with already gorgeous details on their dress.
How Much Time Should I Allow for My Veil to be Made? Most of our custom bridal veils take 2-3 weeks including delivery time. However, some of the more detailed bridal wedding veils or special fabric veil designs take 4-6 weeks. For the freshest and best quality on your wedding veil, all of our veils are made to order specifically for you, so our veils take a little more time than out of the box stores! Of course, we know things can happen in your wedding planning and if a rush is necessary we can usually work with bride to accommodate her needs. Sometimes, this requires a rush charge but it is possible.
Additionally, we advise most brides to give themselves a lead time of at least 2-3 months prior to your wear date to avoid any last minute changes and time to meet with your hairstylist for hair trials or final fittings with your wedding dress. You'll breathe a lot easier.

BRIDAL VEIL F.A.Qs
What Kind of Bridal Veil Should I Choose to Match My Dress?: You've chosen your dress, so next the veil! But what kind of wedding bridal veil will match your dress? There are no hard and fast rules but generally, the fuller the wedding dress, the fuller your bridal veil. For instance, a bridal ball gown style dress looks fabulous with a wide width cathedral veil. A short veil may look a bit awkward with a grand ballgown. A sleeker sheath style dress or mermaid style wedding gown is more versatile because it looks great with a bridal short veil, chapel length veil for a wedding, or fingertip veil.Within the veil lengths there are a few veil styles such as the cascade, angel cut, bubble, & petal designs to confuse you further but they add great style to your wedding veil. Try a few of these alternative bridal veil designs in the veil length that matches your wedding dress and see if any work for you.
