Wedding Veil
Whether or not you choose to wear a wedding veil will play a key role in the overall look, feel, and mood of your wedding ceremony. While many modern brides are deciding against the classic look, a growing number seem to be returning to the wedding traditions of yesteryear, complete with veils, trains and other touches that bring back the special charm of days gone by.
If you feel a subtle, or not-so-subtle, tug at your heartstrings and breathe a wistful sigh whenever you see a bride adorned in full regalia, why not indulge your fancy by browsing the many lovely bridal veils that are available for today’s bride. You may just discover that you’re the perfect candidate for the classic wedding look.
If you’re inclined to choose a more traditional wedding dress, your classic wedding gown will not only welcome the adornment of a bridal veil – but it would actually appear incomplete without one. Wedding veils are such an essential part of the classic bridal look that the two are nearly inseparable. From short to medium and from chapel to cathedral length, veils come in so many different styles and designs that there’s bound to be one that not only suits you perfectly but also provides a stunning addition to your wedding apparel.
To provide just the right accent for nearly any bridal gown, the traditional Short Two Tier Veil with Pearls and Rhinestones offers a classic look that’s hard to beat. The first tier is 19 inches long and the second, 22 inches, falling just below the shoulders. Width is 72 inches. This popular veil style, which is available in white or ivory, is tastefully embellished with pearls and rhinestones to help you look your best on your wedding day.
Another traditional style with an impressive presence is the Two Tier Elbow Length Veil with Scattered Pearls. This design provides a delicate splash of pearls on the upper part of the veil, tastefully framing the bride’s face and adding storybook charm to her special day. The outer tier measures 26 inches and the inner tier, 30 inches, with a width of 72 inches.
Another lovely style is the Fingertip Length Veil with Scattered Crystal Edge. This fine quality two-tier wedding veil provides a softer, straighter, more flowing line than the more poufy traditional style veil. Scattered crystals adorn the bottom edge of both tiers, providing a touch of elegance. Tier lengths are 30 inches (outer) and 35 inches (inner), with a generous 72-inch width.
The 2-Tier Fingertip Length Veil with Embroidered Edge also offers an exceptional touch of glamour, with its lovely scalloped edging embellished with a narrow line of beaded embroidery. These stunning decorative touches adorn both side and bottom edges of this veil, adding a slightly Spanish flavor to the style. The first tier measures 30 inches, the second, 36 inches, and the width is 72 inches.
The Elbow Length Veil with Metallic Beads on Edge is a simple yet attractive one-tier style that will bring out the beauty of any wedding gown. The side and bottom edges feature a double row of tiny metallic beads, subtly accenting the gentle curve of its tastefully rounded corners. This veil is 30 inches long and 72 inches wide. The Fingertip Length Two-Tier Veil with Scallop Edge creates a striking picture with its lovely beaded flower and sequin studded scalloped edging on both sides and bottom. This imported veil is about 40 inches long and features a wire comb.
In the longer veil styles, the Rhinestone and Pearl Embellished Chapel Length Veil is one that will make it easy for the bride to strike an impressive pose. This imported single tier style is 90 inches long and 72 inches wide and features an all-over scattering of delicate pearls and sparkling rhinestones, giving it a uniquely glamorous look.
Another longer style is the Embellished Cathedral Veil. This lovely imported single-tier veil, which highlights the beauty of a scattered beaded and embroidered floral motif and features an especially ornate design on the bottom edge of the veil back, will add a touch of pure elegance to the most formal wedding ceremony. Veil length is 120 inches and width, 72 inches. This fine veil is available in your choice of white or ivory.
As you study the multitude of lovely wedding veils that you’re sure to encounter during your bridal shopping, you may discover that you’re having a difficult time choosing one style over all the others. Don’t despair. Just as with shopping for your wedding gown, it’s quite normal to feel a trifle overwhelmed when choosing your veil. Do your best to relax and enter fully into the process, letting your intuition take over.
Once you’ve looked at a wide enough variety of styles, you’ll begin to sense which ones feel “right,” and eventually you’ll simply know which veil is right for you. The process is all part of the magic of finding the individual fashion features that combine to create the unique bridal look that flatters your natural beauty, making both your veil and your wedding gown just right for you.

How do you get wrinkles out of a wedding veil?
I am borrowing my FMIL’s wedding veil. It has been stored away for 30 years and has some wrinkles. How do I get rid of them? I don’t want to ruin it!
Can a wedding veil be ironed? Steamed?
It is just regular bridal tulle or whatever most wedding veils are made of. It has lace on the edges, but it is basically just veil material.
Steam it. Absolutely do not iron it though. Hold the steamer a safe distance (at least a couple inches) from the veil to prevent touching it and damaging it accidentally.
If you don’t have a steamer, then you could also try bringing it into the bathroom with you when you have a hot shower. That often helps get wrinkles out, and it’s what I do with clothing when I am in hotels and don’t have my steamer with me. But chances are that if it has been stored for 30 years it is pretty wrinkly and will need the help of a good steamer.
