You should keep several factors in mind when shopping for a Wedding Veil...
First, the style of your veil must remain in harmony with the style of your wedding (party, an official reception, wedding in the church …). Second, you want a veil that really compliments your wedding dress. And thirdly, you have to take into account your hairstyle.
You can decide to wear your veil for the ceremony only and then remove it for the reception or you can wear your veil all throughout the wedding.
In addition, you may want to take into account the religious requirements for your wedding. Various religions have different conventions against veils, so it is necessary for you to know the customs of your religion.
Blusher
Blusher is a single layer of tulle or a shorter tier of a wedding veil that falls in front of the face and is worn when walking down the aisle. Typically the bride's father lifts the blusher layer and folds it back over the longer one at the end of the processional.
Elbow Length Veil
This wedding veil is about 30 inches long flowing down gently on the shoulders and ending at your elbows. This is the most common length as it provides elegance without distracting any attention from the bride or the dress.
Fingertip Length Veil
This wedding veil is about 42” long extending down to your fingers. It compliments most wedding dress styles, from simple dresses to sophisticated ball gowns.
Waltz Length Veil
This wedding veil is about 65 inches long flowing down to your feet. Waltz length is a good choice if you want to wear a long veil, and your wedding dress doesn’t have a train.
Chapel Length Veil
This wedding veil is about 75 inches long flowing down the train of your wedding dress. This length is best suited for a more formal wedding.
Cathedral Length Veil
Cathedral veil is the longest bridal veil. Usually it matches the length of the wedding dress’s train. This wedding veil is about 120 inches long. When choosing this length, you have to decide for yourself if you really want to hide the back of your wedding dress. This veil is very long and can completely change the look of your wedding gown.
Mantilla
This Spanish version mantilla wedding veil is usually adorned with lace. This veil covers the head and usually descends to the elbow level.
2-Tier Veil
This wedding veil has two layers that extend to different lengths. Since the 2-Tier veil has more volume than a 1-Tier veil, make sure that the veil compliments your wedding gown and doesn’t distract from it.
