veil vocabulary


Beyond length, familiarize yourself with other terms to describe veils.  Again, thank you Southbound Bride for these photos.

a photo of me putting on my veil before the wedding ceremony

A month before my wedding, it dawned on me that I actually wanted a veil.  Never thought I would!  My dress was backless, and I realized I wanted to be a bit more covered up at the ceremony.

I had no idea there were so many different types of veils!  A Cliff Notes version for you below!  (I ended up going with ballet/waltz length).

Your dress comes first as the color & style of the dress will determine which veil options will best compliment.  Don't follow in my footsteps and choose your veil a month before the wedding unless you want a limited selection & rush fees.  Like wedding dresses, veils take longer than you think!
