To Veil or Not to Veil

Veil types, lengths, color trends in veils

Whether or not to wear a veil is a personal decision that should be based on your own style and preferences. There are many different types of veils available, so you can find one that suits your personality and your wedding dress.

Here are some factors to consider when deciding whether or not to wear a veil:

      • Your wedding dress style: If your wedding dress is very simple, a veil can add a touch of elegance and formality. If your wedding dress is already very ornate, a veil may be too much.
      • Your venue: If you’re getting married in a church or other formal setting, a veil is a good choice. If you’re getting married outdoors or in a more casual setting, you may not want to wear a veil.
      • Your personal style: If you’re a traditional bride, you may want to wear a veil. If you’re a more modern bride, you may prefer to go without a veil.

    Here are some of the most popular veil types:

      • Birdcage veil: A birdcage veil is a short veil that sits just above the eyes. It’s a great choice for a modern bride who wants a touch of drama.
