Oodles of lace is a lot of grace! True. But then not everything suits everyone. Neither all lace veils suit every wedding gown you come across. In fact, wedding veils are as unique as their wedding dresses they’re designed to accompany and honestly, a plethora of considerations come into play when it comes to choose the perfect veil cajoling your wedding gowns. From a chapel length veil that imparts a lot of drama to the wedding gown, to a vintage-inspired birdcage veil evoking a sense of classic mystery, a lace veil does it all.

No doubt, there are many lengths, widths, styles and embellishments. And, with so many options, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. And, if you are purchasing online, there’s zero chance to feel the drape before investing.

So, to help you choose that perfect veil, we’ll take you through three prime considerations, so that your way to finding your perfect match gets a little easier.

Take a Note of Your Wedding Dress Silhouette

The silhouette of your wedding dress plays a role to decide your wedding veil. As a general guide, your veil should accentuate and be proportional to your dress. This means, a veil should be so lightweight that it should not overpower or take away from the details of the dress. Doing so can interrupt your wedding attire.

Opt for a simple tulle lace veil, if your wedding attire displays a lot of pretty intricate details. The tulles that come with clean lace edge are ideal for classic A-line silhouettes and ball gowns. Alternatively for a simple yet sophisticated chiffon outfit, choose a veil with intricate details. Tulles, being lightweight can carry a lot of embellishment or floral accents, which not only adds to the dimension of your gown, but also impart an aura of majestic personality.

Bridal experts often emphasize on the focal points on the dress to find out a perfect match. Most importantly, a veil will look best cut just above or below any horizontal lines. Now, if the veil falls somewhere near the focal point, let’s say, near a defined waistline, it can notch up a visual effect of cutting you in half.

Still, if you are unsure of a perfectly matching veil go for fingertip length veil, as it features a timeless and classic flamboyance.

Consider your Venue

Did you know a wedding venue has a lot to do in choosing that perfect veil for you? Precisely, the formality of your wedding plays a role in deciding your veil. If you are doing a simple church wedding, it’s customary to wear a veil without a blusher. A plethora of lace wedding veils come with without blusher or no embellishments. While flaunting an aura of grace and sophistications, such simple lace veils display a different kind of aesthetics. However, for a beachside or garden ceremony, you can opt for chapel length lace veils.

Take Note of Your Hairstyle

What’s your bridal hairstyle? It plays a key role on deciding your veil. Nowadays, many brides are choosing to opt out the veils, in order to flaunt their buns, but if you are a bit old-school and love the classic charm, you ‘ll be surely having all your heart for veil. And, what else can better complement your hairstyle other than a soft vel with ace detailing?

Now a soft veil works wonders when your hairstyle offers a supportive base. It can be a bridal bun, messy updo, or a half up/down classy hairdo. The longer your veil, the heavier is the support you need. Once you decide your bridal hairstyle, it will be easy to decide on the length of veil. For that extra ounce of spark, you can add a bridal comb made of metal and customize your lace edge veils with fine embellishment. Simply pin the veil to the natural curve of your bun to create a dreamy look.
