Alessandra 01/10/2024 0

Have you ever been to a bridal fitting of a dear friend of yours? If you’ve been there, then you surely know that the moment a Bride-to-be first wears her Wedding Veil with her gown is one of the most emotional moments. A white veil is a simple accessory, but once worn will give that fairy-tale touch to your entire look and you will feel to all effects a Bride!

Here, my Top-Tips to make the right choice when it comes to your Wedding Veil.

Consider your Wedding Vibes

First of all, think accurately about your Wedding Vibes! All Brides think they should wear a Wedding Veil according to custom, but if it’s not in line with your ceremony don’t feel like you have to wear it. Sparkling tiaras, fresh flower garlands or hairpins are another good alternative.

Matchy or not?

Once you find your Bridal Dress, you should choose a veil that enhances your gown. The Wedding Veil should complete your look in line with other accessories and never draw attention away from the Bride and her dress.

Focus on your Venue

If your ceremony is taking place in a majestic Church, you might consider a traditional long Wedding Veil. On the contrary, if you’re going to tie the knot outdoors, you could go for a shorter one, the fabric of the veil could easily be ruined on a lawn or on a beach.

Don’t forget your hairstyle

Before choosing your hairstyle, you should keep in mind your Wedding Veil. Most Wedding Veils work well with down hairstyles, but if you’re thinking about keeping your hair loose, hence, you should choose a plain veil that fits with your hairstyle.

Which kind?

Last but not least, let’s talk about the style of your Wedding Veil. There are so many types of veil, some are simple others are full and voluminous. Traditional Veils are the most versatile, instead, Spanish ones, also known as Mantillas, are simple veils trimmed in delicate lace and fastened to a comb or even Embellished ones, are veils embellished with lace, embroidery, silk petals, or beading. It’s up to you.


For my special day, I chose a traditional veil 9 meters long, one meter for every year of engagement as the ancient Italian tradition wants.
