Purchasing a Wedding Veil
Once symbolizing purity and obedience, wedding veils are now much more optional and are only used by brides who wish to wear them. Covering the face until presented to the groom, there is not much to consider when purchasing a wedding veil, other than what you love! A few important things to consider are:
- How will it attach to your hair? Be it a clip, a pin, or a headband, make sure it is comfortable to wear and will work with your wedding day hairstyle.
- How long is it? The length you choose will come down to personal preference. A short veil will show off more of your dress, while a long veil can make a stunning statement as you walk.
- What is it made of? Veils are generally made from a mesh-like fabric since they are see-through and delicate. Just be sure that it doesn’t irritate your skin and that it lays the way you want it to.
- Anything extra? Some wedding veils will have additional design elements, such as embroidered flowers or small pearls attached. If you love details or bling, find a veil to show that off.
- Will it match your dress? Ultimately, you’ll want to be sure the veil goes well with your dress! Be sure the shade is right and that any embellishments like pearls or lace match.
