Wedding dresses, shoes, makeup, and so many more details to make you look beautiful on your day perfect. With so many accessories, have you forgotten about the veil? Trends seem to come and go but it’s the older trends that come back in full-circle – the veil.Many brides search the racks to find a veil ranging from $100 to $500 to use it on one day, the day they will be united with their groom. Other brides look to friends and family to borrow a veil that will fit perfectly with their style.
As young girls, we searched through out mother’s closets or borrowed clothes from our closest friends. On your wedding day, every little piece of the puzzle has a meaning that unites you with your husband.
Use this opportunity to bring together your look that will be captured by your amazing photographer, with just a few simple tips for your veil selection:
1. Review the style of dress and your fashion style and ask yourself: Are you classic or modern?
2. If you borrow your veil from a friend or family member, bring it to the fitting to match to dress.
3. Determine the length that will fit your comfort. Most brides wear their veil the entire night.
4. Are you lace trim, netted or tulle type of bride? Each has a distinct look.
5. Will you want your veil framing, barely there, pulled back, or completely covering your face?

Good advice on veils. While you are matching that veil to your gown at the fitting, practice the art of bustling. Too many receptions have come to a halt because the bustle broke, was connected incorrectly, or it just took the Maid of Honor way too long to accomplish the feat.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great article! For a few years my brides were foregoing veils, but they seem to be making a comeback. Veils add a sense of drama and elegance, often for very little money AND they make for some great photo opportunities! Ican't wait for my next wedding...gorgeous bride + veil + sunset on the golf course!
