Say ‘Yes!’ and secure your wedding gown first.
It’s a great idea to secure your wedding gown before ordering your wedding veil. Here’s why:
- Coordinated Look: Your wedding dress sets the tone for your entire bridal look. By choosing your gown first, you establish the style, silhouette, and any intricate details that you may want to complement or highlight with your veil.
- Guided Accessories: Knowing your dress allows us to recommend veil styles that will enhance its features. Whether your dress is adorned with lace, beading, or has a specific neckline or back detail, we can suggest veil designs that will beautifully complement these elements.
- Personalised Touch: If there are specific aspects of your dress that you love and want to incorporate into your veil, such as lace, embellishment or embroidery, having your dress chosen beforehand allows us to tailor the veil design to seamlessly integrate these elements.
- Bridal Silhouette: Understanding the silhouette of your wedding dress helps in selecting the length and volume of your veil to enhance your overall bridal look. Whether you envision a sleek and chic silhouette or a more dramatic and voluminous appearance, your dress choice guides this decision.
In summary, securing your wedding gown first provides a solid foundation for creating your personal bridal style. It ensures that your veil not only complements but enhances the beauty of your dress, making you feel confident and radiant on your wedding day!
A guide to our wedding veil lengths:
Choosing the length of your wedding veil is an important decision that can significantly impact your overall bridal look. Here are some tips to help you decide on the perfect veil length:
Elbow Length Wedding Veil – 30″ /76cm
The elbow length veil strikes a balance between elegance and practicality, complimenting various wedding gown styles without overpowering them. Ideal for brides seeking a traditional yet modern look, this veil length enhances both formal and semi-formal wedding settings, ensuring a stunning look from ceremony to reception.
Fingertip Length Wedding Veil – 42” / 106cm
A fingertip length veil falls gracefully below the hip point and just above the fingertips, making it a classic choice that offers versatility in styling. This length is ideal for complementing intricate dress designs, ensuring the wedding dress remains the focal point. Crafted from lightweight tulle, fingertip length veils are favoured by brides seeking a veil they can comfortably wear from the ceremony into the evening reception, adding a touch of elegance throughout their special day.
Waltz Length Wedding Veil – 60” / 152cm.
A Waltz length veil compliments a bridal dress by offering the look of a longer veil without actually touching the floor.
This veil length offers the styling and beautiful volume of a longer veil whilst at the same time offering the manoeuvrability of a shorter veil if a bride wishes to wear her veil throughout the day and into the night.
Waltz veils with intricate embellishment compliment simple and shorter wedding dress styles for brides who intend to wear their bridal outfit throughout the day
Floor Length Wedding Veil – 75” / 190cm
Floor length veils are designed to match the length of a bride’s dress with volume added as the dress glides down the aisle.
Dependent on her height, the floor length veil creates a little pool behind the wedding dress, for brides who want the classic wedding look but without the longer length of a chapel or cathedral length veil.
Typically worn with a bridal gown or longer wedding dress style but with limited train.
Chapel Length Wedding Veil – 90” / 228cm
Chapel length veils are among the most popular choices and complement every bridal style, whether it’s chic and minimal or adorned with opulent embellishment. This versatile veil length is particularly striking when paired with longer wedding dresses, where the veil’s train extends just beyond, elegantly framing the edge of the gown.
Known for their classic elegance and dramatic effect, Chapel style veils also serve as fantastic props for wedding photography. They can enhance the overall look and feel of bridal portraits, capturing stunning images that highlight the bride’s beauty and the romance of the occasion.
The ‘RA’ Length Wedding Veil 105″ / 267cm
Our brand new wedding veil length, perfect for brides who prefer a longer veil without the commitment of additional tulle. Suitable for grand and formal weddings where a dramatic entrance is desired. The ‘RA’ lengths complements wedding dresses with long trains or simpler designs, adding a touch of romance and sophistication to the bridal look.
Cathedral Length Wedding Veil – 112” / 284cm
Cathedral veil is the most traditional style in our collection, designed to create a grand and regal entrance for any bride. Its dramatic length ensures a breathtaking effect, making it ideal for weddings held in spacious or grand settings where the full display of tulle can be appreciated.
This veil length offers brides a unique opportunity to make a sophisticated statement on their wedding day. Typically worn with a wedding dress that has a train, the Cathedral veil extends further to sweep elegantly across the floor as the bride walks down the aisle. It acts as a stunning extension of the wedding gown, adding an aura of elegance.
Royal Cathedral Length Wedding Veil – 125″ / 317cm
A Royal Cathedral length veil is the epitome of grandeur. It extends even further than a traditional Cathedral veil, often trailing several feet behind the bride as she walks. This majestic length is inspired by royal weddings, and is designed to create a truly dramatic and memorable entrance.
The Royal Cathedral veil is perfect for weddings held in expansive venues or grand settings, where its full length can be fully appreciated. It adds a sense of royalty and splendor to the bride’s attire, enhancing the overall regal look. Typically worn with wedding dresses featuring long trains, this veil style ensures the bride exudes grace and elegance as she glides down the aisle, leaving a lasting impression on all who witness her entrance.
