The history of the wedding veil as one of the most classical parts of bridal accessories goes back to Greek and Roman times. The ancient people believed that wearing a red sheet that resembles fire over the bride’s face could protect them against the evil spirits and demons trying to ruin their delightful gathering. While in some other societies and cultures, the veil was used to hide the bride’s face from her husband, traditionally thinking it would push away bad luck and bring the newly engaged couple with good fortune and blessing.

Anyway, the concept and usage of this distinctive and culture-bound ensemble have been modified throughout history. In contrast, today, it is almost likely to be considered a matter of beauty and fashion.

There are multiple points that every stylish bride has to be concerned about while deciding on her wedding gown. Based on our experiences in designing wedding dresses, one of the most commonly asked questions is how to find an ideal wedding veil well-suited for the bride herself and the wedding dress.

Regarding the latest fashion trends for bridal dresses, we are offering you five simple but excellent tips for choosing your perfect wedding veil.

1. Strat with the veil length

At the very first step to finding your dream bridal veil, let’s start with its length. A certain veil length best fits with some gowns, so you have to look for a style that complements your overall silhouette, which does not interrupt your stunning look. According to experts, there is a practical explicit distinction among the different types of veils regarding their length as the shorter ones like bandeaus, birdcages, and blushers models mostly indicate a bit more informal or retro edge to your look, in other hand ballet, chapel, and cathedral styles as the longer veils almost lean in the way of tradition and formality.
