Know Your Veils

Did you know that it’s bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the ceremony on the wedding day?

Well according to an old superstitious tradition, a bride wears a veil over her face as a cover so the groom doesn’t accidentally see her. As times have changed, brides now use the veil as a bridal fashion statement to glam up their look. The veil indeed has evolved and now comes in various styles, color shades, fabrics and lengths. Brides even prefer the veil without the double layer covering their face, but instead love the long cathedral length as it looks stunning in the photographs. 

Do you know your veils? Although there are various styles of wedding veils, let’s take a look at our top picks.

Cathedral Length

This veil is traditional and very dramatic. Its long and extends beyond the train of the wedding gown. It usually has a lot of sparkle, lace applique or sometimes it’s even custom embroidered.

Chapel Length

The Chapel Length veil just about hits the floor and gives an illusion of a train for a gown that’s floor length.

This type of veil is easy to manage and you can even leave it on for the reception, as it isn’t too long. It’s paired well with a simple style of wedding dress that needs some extra glam.

Elbow Length

As the name goes, this type of veil falls gently over the shoulders up to the elbows. These kinds of veils are usually left simple and are super sheer, so as to not take away the look of the wedding dress under.

Blusher Style

The Blusher is the double layer of the veil that falls in front of your face as a cover. Ideally just below the shoulders above the start of the dress. The blusher style veil is the shortest kind of traditional veil and would go with any kind of dress. We feel it is perfect with a strapless dress as it gives a little cover for the shoulders for a modest look during the ceremony.

So that’s our top picks for wedding veil styles and we hope you do you know your veils! Let us know which style is your favorite. Take a look at how celebrities styles their veils in our blog on Top 10 Celebrity wedding gowns. Check out our veil collection on The White Bridal Instagram page.
