Veil lengths explained
Hello. I've bought my wedding dress and am now considering a veil. Are there any guidelines for which veil length typically goes with dress style? Or is it more about hair length/style? Would love some tips.

There are no set rules when it comes to veils, every bride has their own ideas, and veil styles are often deteremined by the style of the gown. For example a simp'e gown can carry a more intricate veil, ie lace trim, pearl or crystal trim, and any length. A more detailed gown would suggest the need for a more simple veil. Your stylist will be able to make recommendations when trying on gowns. it is advisable to try on a few veils when trying on gowns as it will give you more insight.

veils completely vary in style, and length depending entirely on personal preference. We also offer custom veils if you have a specifc vision in mind.
Hi
It is more about your style and vibe for the day! A short veil (waist length) is more fun and flirty, with the longer veils being a bit more dramatic. For the Princess style gowns I prefer the veil to extend slightly longer than the train and for the more fitted gowns only slightly longer or the same length works quite well. There are many options available with veils, with vows or initials embroidered on to the lower edge, to matching dress lace, etc! Your guests are staring at your veil and back of your dress throughout your ceremony so be sure to keep that in mind!
Hope this helps,
