What Veil to Wear With a Line Dress
"Without the veil, you're just another girl in a white dress. With the veil, you're a bride!" - Randy Fenoli
How to choose a wedding veil?
This is one of the questions we often hear from brides. You might have tried on some veils at the bridal salon with your dress and didn't want to order it straight away, so it is now time for you to go hunting for the perfect veil that will complete your look.
Now there are a few different styles for you to choose from and in order to find the right veil for you, you need to answer the following questions:

What is your wedding dress style?
Traditional, modern, bohemian, vintage, 1920s inspired, 1950s inspired, the list goes on. From here you will be able to narrow down the options, especially if you have done your research online and browsing the bridal magazines.
If you are going to wear a bohemian style wedding dress then a birdcage veil is definitely not an option for you.

What is the silhouette of the dress?
Ball gown, princess, A-line, mermaid, trumpet, sheath, tea length or cocktail. This will help you to decide on the length and the fullness (width) of your veil. Your veil should be proportional to your dress.
BALLGOWN
Short veils (elbow or hip length) and long veils (chapel length to cathedral provided it's longer than the train of the dress).
Veil width: medium to extra fullness.
PRINCESS AND A-LINE
Fingertip length veils and long veils (chapel length to cathedral length provided it's longer than the train of the dress).
Veil width: medium to extra fullness.
TRUMPET AND MERMAID
Birdcage veils, elbow to fingertip length veils and long veils (chapel length to cathedral length provided it's longer than the train of the dress).
Veil width: narrow to extra fullness.
SHEATH AND COLUMN
Birdcage veils, from elbow to cathedral length veils (if choosing a long veil - provided it's longer than the train of the dress).
Veil width: narrow to medium fullness.
TEA LENGTH AND COCKTAIL
Birdcage veils, mini to hip length veils.
This guidance applies to wedding dresses in general based on my observation and personal opinion but it all comes back to your desired bridal look and personal preferences.
What is the material of the dress?
Satin, cotton, chiffon, lace, tulle, silk and the list goes on. Now you can decide on the detail of your veil like the edging and embellishments. If you are wearing a lace wedding dress and you want to wear a lace edged veil, you have to make sure that the lace trim matches the lace on your dress.
Don't let the veil overpower the details of your dress and take the attention away from your dress. A plain veil will suit any dresses but if you are wearing a satin dress, perhaps you should consider a satin edged veil to complement your dress.
You may also try to mix and match as long as your veil and your dress complement each other well.

What is the colour of the dress?
White, ivory, cream, champagne, blush, etc. There are different shades and tones of white in bridal fabrics and they are often described as; white (pure white, stark white), diamond white, candle white, silk white, ivory, light ivory and so on.
It's easy to decide on the colour if the only available options are white and ivory but sometimes this is not the case. So, please be careful when choosing the colour for your veil.

What hairstyle are you going to wear on you wedding day?
It is important to consider your bridal hairstyle before ordering your veil. It's good to know where the veil is going to be positioned on the head so you are able to measure and get the desired length.
If you still can't decide on the veil, you can wait until you get your wedding dress to make sure you get the right style and colour for the veil but please don't leave it to the last minute. A bride shouldn't be panicking about her veil close to her wedding day. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, we are here to help.
