Bridal Veils that Coordinate with Your Gown and Ensemble

And if you're wearing a headpiece, the type of headpiece you choose will determine the length of the veil.

Most bridal veils come attached to plain clear combs so you can attach the headpieces to them, or you can hide the comb under the headpiece and remove only the veil after the ceremony.

Some brides choose to wear only a veil without a headpiece and tuck the veil comb up under an elegant hairstyle.

From the shortest to the longest, these are main styles of bridal veils:

• Blusher veils


• Shoulder Length Veils


• Elbow Length Veils


• Fingertip or Wrist Length Veils


• Chapel Length Veils


• Cathedral Length Veils


• Mantilla Veils

There are not only different lengths of bridal veils, there are also single and multiple tiered veils. You can buy bridal veils that are already made to wear or ready to be attached to your headpiece, you can have a custom made veil or you can even make your own veil.

No matter which way you decide to go and which is most cost effective for your budget, you should determine how long you want your veil and whether or not you'll be wearing a blusher, then measure for your tiers using these steps:

1. Get your mom or your sister or the maid of honor and a cloth tape measure.
2. Put your headpiece on exactly where you'll be wearing it on your wedding day.

   Tip: You may actually get a better idea of the length of your veil if you're also wearing your hair the same as you will be on the day of your wedding.

3. Place the tape measure at the point of the headpiece where the veil will be attached, or if you're not wearing a headpiece, at the the point on your head where you will be putting the headpiece comb.

4. Measure where you would like the first tier to fall to. That is the length of the veil.

If you're wearing a blusher, which is the shortest layer of the veil and is worn over the face, start measuring from the point where the blusher will either attach to your headpiece or attach to the veil comb down to where you want the blusher to end.


"Vintage birdcage veils are also commonly known as a bird cage veil, cage veil, cage blusher, or pouf veil. And, they're making quite a comeback--as any woman with a fashion-forward sense of style already knows." ~The Vintage Birdcage Veils website
