How to determine what veil is best for you
Remember, your veil should complement your gown. Here are some tips to help you determine the best type of veil for you.
Number of layers:
Some standard options are:
Single: Worn high with pouf can be stunning on any gown
Double: The top layer can double as your blusher.
Triple: This can give a beautiful cascading effect if a trim is applied to differentiate the layers. Not recommended if you have a detailed or protruding back.
Length:
Here are your choices:
Shoulder/blusher, 18"-24": keep your blusher at or above the chest line. Why you ask? Any longer than this and you may be interfering with your bouquet as well as present a cumbersome chore to flip the blusher over.
Waist, 30"
Fingertip, 40": avoid if you are petite. This length tends to make you look shorter.
Floor, 60
Chapel, 72"-96 (typically 1 yard in tow)
Cathedral, 108" or longer (typically 2 yards in tow)
Other things to consider
If you have a detailed back, keep the lowest point of your veil above the prominent detail. If you must have a chapel or cathedral veil, go with a single layer sheer so that the detail can still be seen through the veil. Consider a second shorter veil for the reception. This will allow you mobility and still accentuate your wedding gown.
Don't forget that all lengths should be determined from the point that you plan to attach your veil.
Color Choices:
The most popular colors are white, diamond white, and ivory. Ivory is pretty self explanatory. White and diamond white are a different story. Diamond white is a subtle white and works well if your dress has a sheen, not a shine; is matted, not glossy. If your gown is in the silk arena (ie: raw, shantung), diamond white is a good choice.
Details Edging:
Use the details of your gown to determine the details for your veil. Keep the theme the same. But if in doubt; leave it out. Simplicity is sometimes the best detail. If you have a blusher, keep any beadwork along the edge. The scattered beadwork may come out as spots in your photos depending upon the lighting situations.
