For every bride, her wedding look is the most important thing of the day. And the veil forms an integral part of her look. There are so many different lengths to choose from. It is only natural to get confused about the veil length that will best suit your outfit and body frame.
For all the confused brides out there, here is the much-needed veil length guide! With this, you will finally be able to decide the length of the wedding veil you should get.
The wedding veil – How to choose the length?
Your hairstyle
What kind of hairstyle are you going to have? If you want a chignon hairstyle, you could pin your veil below the bun to show off your hairdo. On the other hand, if you choose to sport long flowing curls, the veil should go all the way to the crown of your head. This style will add more volume and give a great look. Try to choose a veil length that will complement your hairstyle.
Discuss with your stylist about your hairdo for the big day. If you want to have accessories on your head, you should choose a veil to support the look so that your head doesn’t look cluttered.
Your wedding dress
The length of your veil should go well with your wedding dress. The wedding veil and the dress should blend smoothly rather than looking like two different parts of your look. For instance, if you have a heavily beaded dress, then a veil with some matching beadwork would be an apt choice. The cathedral veil (floor-length) would best complement a heavily beaded dress.
On the other hand, if you have a much simpler dress, an angel cut veil with a touch of satin is the best choice. For short wedding dresses, short veils are the best choice. You can try to add multiple layers to your veil to enhance the look.
Your budget
You can try as many veils as you want. But keep an eye on your budget as well! A beaded wedding veil with detailing will cost you a lot more than a single layer plain veil. Make sure to buy a veil whose material matches that of your wedding gown. Also, do not go by the notion that shorter wedding veils are always cheaper. Short veils can have multiple layers, great detailing, and be made of expensive material too.
The best option is to try a few different lengths of the veil with your wedding dress so that you can look and decide the veil length that is right for you.
