Tips For Picking The Perfect Veil

With nearly 65% of brides-to-be wearing veils, our Truly Forever Bridal team wants to share some expert tips. 

Keep in mind there are no hard rules when it comes to your personal style, these are just some tips.

• If you have ideas on how you are considering wearing your hair on your wedding day, bring a photo along when you are looking for your veil. Also, be sure to bring along any embellishments or accessories you might be considering.

• Keep the details of your wedding gown in mind when considering a wedding veil. A simple wedding gown may be the perfect opportunity to add a little bling and detailing to your veil. Other details, specifically a dress with a statement back might need a veil that has its embellishments along the edges.

• Veils come in a wide array of colors, be sure to select a veil that closely matches the color of your wedding dress. If by chance you are wearing a blue or blush gown, ivory might be your best color choice.

• Take your height into consideration.  Cathedral and shoulder-length veils generally work well for brides of any height. On the other hand, fingertip veils often look best on taller brides as they can make a petite bride look shorter. 

• Are you considering wearing a blusher? You might consider a veil that will be worn a bit more forward on your head to keep your lipstick from touching your blusher.

• Lastly, you might want to take into consideration your wedding venue. While a Royal length veil may look stunning in a house of worship with a long aisle, it might be a bit hard to maneuver for a beach wedding.

There are hundreds of other veil options ranging from a simple birdcage that might be the perfect accent to a shorter or vintage styled wedding gown to Spanish styled Mantilla with an accented border that frames your face.

Our Truly Forever Bridal teams in Sarasota and Tampa look forward to working with you to help you find the perfect wedding veil to compliment your dress.
