Choosing The Right Veil

Photo Credit: www.jessicaclaire.net

Cathedral Length: perfect for traditional or religious wedding ceremony

Elbow Length: good for a casual look, great for daytime and outdoor ceremony

Waist Length: slightly longer than the elbow length, great for all dresses

Fingertip Length: if you were to spread your arms out, this veil will reach from fingertip to fingertip. This is a popular veil and it fits majority of the dresses

Birdcage: a vintage / 40′s feel; appropriate for any kind of wedding;  looks great with a fitted silhouette dress.

Remember the dress it the main focus, the veil is just an accessories. so don’t go all dramatic with the veil. Also if you’re considering a veil, think about your dress, your face structure, and your body.  For more ideas / tips check out my other posts about each veil.
