When choosing your bridal style, there are so many things to take into consideration. Usually, the first step is saying yes to your dream dress. From there, you will be selecting coordinating accessories such as your jewelry, shoes and whether or not you want to wear a veil. When it comes to veils, the possibilities seem endless. Deciding which wedding veil option goes best with your bridal style can seem like an overwhelming process. Don’t worry, we have seen our fair share of veils and love looking into the latest fashions. Below, we have laid out six amazing wedding veil options to consider when deciding how you will complete your wedding day look.
Traditional:
Is your wedding steeped in tradition? Are you planning a church ceremony where you and your fiancé will not see each other until you walk down the aisle? Choosing a traditional style may be the perfect wedding veil option for you. Traditional veils include a blusher placed over the bride’s face during her walk down the aisle. Iconically worn by Kate Middleton, this is wedding veil option sure to make a stunning statement.
Classic:
If you like the idea of having a veil, but would like a slightly less formal option, a classic veil is a great alternative. This wedding veil option does not have a blusher over your face, but still offers that classic bridal look that many brides (and their mother’s) envision. Whether you choose a simple finger-tip veil made of tulle or a dramatic cathedral style in Chantilly lace, a classic veil is truly timeless.
Vintage:
We love bringing back bygone bridal fashion! If vintage is your vibe, a Juliet Cap Veil is the way to go. This striking style takes you back to the roaring 20’s in Gatsby-like glamour. Maybe your family has an heirloom piece or you’ve found a showstopper in a local thrift store just waiting to be given new life. No luck on the vintage front, no worries! Another way to go is having a Juliet Cap Veil handmade to match your gown. What better place to look than on Etsy. Creating a new piece just for you is a great way to merge vintage inspired fashion with modern times.
Bohemian:
If your wedding style has more of a bohemian feel, a flower crown with gorgeous greenery and beautiful blooms would be ideal. Though Snapchat has brought the flower crown to the masses, it’s truly a wonderful way to stand out from the crowd on your big day (no filter required). Whether you choose simple loose waves or a teased fishtail bridal hair braid, adding a flower crown is the icing on the cake.
Modern:
Perhaps you’ve never pictured yourself in a veil and are having a more modern beachside wedding. Maybe you’ve decided on a beachy bridal hair braid, why not tie in a little bling to compliment your look! A beaded head band will add that special something to your bridal style and will sparkle in the sunshine.
Retro:
For all those retro lovers out there, we cannot leave out the bird cage veil. This fun and flirty wedding veil option is an amazing accent to your bridal ensemble. This 40’s style has truly withstood the test of time and is still a popular choice among brides.
