Tips for Choosing Bridal Veils

This is your day! So the great thing about being a bride today is that anything goes! Whether you want to do everything traditionally or just choose the style that looks best and suits your personality. The following are a few tips to help you in making your decision.

Tips for Choosing Bridal Veils
  • Choose a simple veil and headpiece if your dress is very ornate.
  • Consider the back detail of your dress. If you want to show off the back of the dress, you may want to choose a short veil (blusher or elbow length) a veil with less fullness to it (72" width, pony veil, or the ballerina headband and side veil). If your gown is very simple, you may want a very ornate headpiece and or veil to attract attention to your face.
    OR if your gown is very simple and your style is very simple and elegant, you may also want to wear a simple headpiece and or veil with minor details.
  • Be confident in your decision! Because you'll beam with beauty. 
Caring for Your Veil

Take it out and hang it up immedietly when you first receive your veil in the mail. The only way to ship your veil to you is to box it which will cause it to first appear very wrinkled and unattractive. We recommend that you hang your veil from the center so that it will hang straight down. Most of the wrinkles should come out over time from just hanging however, if you don't have time or it's still too wrinkled for your taste, the following methods are for you:
  • Steaming the veil with a steaming iron
  • Hot shower method - steaming the veil by hanging it in the bathroom with a hot shower on for several minutes to steam up the room.
  • Dry cleaning - have an experienced bridal dry cleaner press or steam it.
