Wedding Veils – To Cover Or Not To Cover?

If you have decided to go with tradition and wear a veil you may be surprised how many options are available.

I was shocked when I first walked into a bridal store and was asked so many questions, blusher or no blusher? Full or single layer? Chapel, Cathedral, elbow or fingertip? Round or Square cut?

With so many options available it is important to know the details to make an informed choice.

Veils come in many lengths and they include chapel, cathedral, elbow and fingertip.

Chapel Length is the longest length available. This length will extend on to the floor past the train. Some people will have them only a few inches past the end of the train, where others will have them much longer. This length is generally for more formal weddings and is traditionally seen in Cathedral weddings, hence the name Cathedral length.

Chapel Length is a veil that touches the floor, but does not extend further. This veil looks lovely if you have a detailed train and do not want to hide its beauty.

Elbow length extends to the elbows. This length is commonly used when the gown is shorter or if the bustle or waist is detailed.

Fingertip length is the most popular length and will touch your fingertips. This veil is the perfect compromise between Chapel and elbow length and will look great with any gown.

Choosing a length will always depend on the gown style you choose. Be sure to try on as many as you can with your gown so you can find the perfect length to match your gown and style.

A blusher is the piece of veil that comes over your face. Traditionally the blusher is use to hide the brides face. This tradition comes from the day of arranged marriages when the groom would not see his bride until they were legally married so if he didn’t like her he could not back out. Modern tradition the blusher symbolizes purity and the groom will lift the veil to kiss his bride. Blusher lengths vary from veil to veil, however the most popular length is elbow or fingertip length.

The fullness of the veil will depend on your taste and gown style. A detailed full skirt gown looks lovely with a simple single or double layered veil where as a slim plain gown looks amazing with a full veil. The choice is yours.

Veils are generally defined by 2 cuts, square and round. Square cuts are reserved for elbow and fingertip length and will come into a point at the back. Round cuts are softer looking and can be scalloped on the edge to add a beautiful effect.

Adding extras on to your veil can also help to incorporate it with your gown. Beading or lace to match your dress will add that special touch.

No matter which style you choose be sure to find one that compliments your dress and wedding theme.
