Bridal veil: types, lengths & how to choose

The veil can transform your look. Before buying, define your dress style, hairstyle and ceremony type.

Lengths & styles

• Birdcage (vintage short), elbow, fingertip.
• Chapel (grazes the floor) and cathedral (extra-long for photos).

Fabrics & edges

• Edges: clean cut, lace, pearls, appliqués or subtle sparkle.
• Color: match the dress (white, ivory, soft nude-pink).

How to secure it

• Comb sewn-in; reinforce with bobby pins.
• Hairstyles: low chignon, half-up, or soft waves down.
• Test with your beauty trial 1 month before.

Care & logistics
