Picking The Perfect Veil For Your Wedding Dress

Modern Wedding Posted: September 4, 2019

Once you’ve picked out your dream gown, it’s time to accessorise (also known as getting ‘jacked up’!). The most common item that brides look at to complete their bridal vision is a wedding veil. It adds a magical and majestic element that really brings the whole bridal look together. Make sure you are picking the perfect veil for your wedding dress using these tips!

Picking the perfect veil

Via d’Italia

Ask The Experts…

So you’ve fallen in love with your wedding dress. The process of this alone can be overwhelming and picking the accessories to match can feel like a daunting task! This is the time to talk to the experts. Bridal consultants and stylist are there to help bring your bridal vision to life. Let them take control and show you the best options. Chances are they will pick the perfect one straight away!

Suiting The Locks…

The veil you pick should complement your hairstyle, not dictate what it will be. For example, placing a veil in an up-do is very achievable, but a set of flowing lush locks isn’t as easy. Be sure to keep this in mind when finding the right style so that you can make sure your hairstyle AND veil are safe and secure all day long.

Clashing Colours…

Just like wedding dresses, veils can vary in colour. From a crisp white to a beautiful blush, there are more tones available than you may think. Be sure to find a veil which perfectly matches the colour of the dress. Remember, a veil is meant to complement the gown, not take away from it!

How Long Is Too Long…

Veils come in a variety of lengths, and each option completely changes the overall look. You want to ensure that the length of the veil and dress work well together and are suitable to each others style. If you aren’t sure about the different lengths available, check out our veil guide here!

Location Liability…

It’s your wedding day and you’re strolling down the aisle which is set up on a breezy and beautiful beach. Sounds like a dream right? It sure will be, until your veil blows away! Taking the location and outside factors into account is crucial when it comes to picking a veil that is right for you.

Dazzling Detail…

You may think that most veils are plain and simple, but there are so many options! From diamonds to lace, flowers to feathers, there are so many stunning embellishments available. Consider adding an element which will match with your dress, like a lace hem or pearl beading. If in doubt, a slightly sparkling tulle brings a light shimmer which is absolutely breathtaking.
