How To Choose The Perfect Wedding Dress Veil

Consider the veil. This simple wedding dress accessory is full of history and meaning. Sure, in days gone by it was used to ‘hide’ the face of the bride until she was officially ‘presented’ to her husband. But over the centuries it has come to symbolize the very essence of matrimony. Even if you choose to wear your favorite jeans and t-shirt, the addition of a veil instantly converts them to a ‘wedding look.’

The basic rule is to choose your bridal veil after you choose your dress. Got granny’s handmade lace veil stashed away for your special day? That’s great! Then bring it along when you go wedding dress shopping to see how it looks.

With this in mind, lets discuss wedding veil ideas for different types of wedding dresses.

The ONE for Boho Wedding Dresses

Finding the perfect wedding dress for a Boho Wedding Dress requires a little more thought. This style of wedding dress is often chosen by brides for beach weddings, where sea breezes are an issue – so perhaps best not to wear a full length layered veil unless you want to spend your dream day wrestling with clouds of tulle. Another consideration is lacework and layering – a feature of boho wedding dresses. Don’t choose a veil that’s going to compete with the complexity of your dress.

Our advice is to choose a veil that will complement, but not overpower the gorgeous details of your boho wedding dress. A wedding veil with pretty edging or even geometric embroidery can work to perfection with the intricacies of the boho wedding look.

The ONE For Princess Wedding Dresses 

Gotta love a princess style wedding dress. It’s one of the few bridal silhouettes that work equally with flats or stilettos, with a mountain of bling or just a set of simple pearls. The same goes for a veil.

For a chic, Kate Middleton touch, accessorize your princess wedding dress with a ‘blusher’ (short veil) or a longer veil with a shoulder-length second layer. Otherwise, you can’t go wrong with a classic gossamer veil, completely unadorned, for a romantically regal look.

Let your bridal stylist guide you to the perfect veils, and create your total wedding look with a fabulous range of wedding accessories from White One!
