Completing your Look with a Stunning Wedding Veil

The bride-to-be has finally found her perfect dress, the perfect shoes and the perfect accessories. Now it’s time for her most important purchase, the icing on the cake that will complete her wedding look: finding the perfect, most stunning wedding veil.Wedding veils are such an important element of a bride’s look. As the bride walks down the aisle, her dress immediately catches the eye, but the veil adds an air of mystery, of anticipation. Once lifted, her beautiful face will shine for all to see.These days, there are many wedding veils available. Here are some of the most stunning wedding veils on the market today, whether traditional or modern.

Blusher

A blusher veil exhibits a sheer layer of netting or tulle, which consists of thin, fine netting of acetate, nylon, rayon, or silk. The blusher veil comes in different colors and lengths.For a long blusher, the best length to choose from is around 25 to 29 inches long and generally comes in white or ivory. The best types of long blushers are one-tiered and consist of tulle. Look for those with a cut edge and small wire comb for maximum comfort and security.Short blushers are a popular choice and both modern and traditional looks are readily available. A simple and elegant short blusher, the Russian Tulle blusher, often adorned with scattered crystals, will exude a traditional, yet glamorous look for any bride-to-be.

For a bit more height, the perfect choice is the Russian Net Facial blusher veil. One of the hottest blusher veils, the Feather Fascinator style allows the bride to wear the piece as a headband, often touched with a discreet flower.  If you are indeed looking for a blusher with a flower comb, you’ll want to immediately look for the facial blusher veils with a detachable flower comb, many of which couch a rhinestone center for added sparkle. One of the most stunning and truly dramatic veils is the black Russian tulle blusher style veil, which you can find with or without a crystal-centered flower.

Short Veil

While the longer blusher veils fall into the category of short veils as well, there are many other styles of short veils to consider. If you’re looking for a classic, traditional one-tiered short veil, the best veils have scalloped edges and often beaded flowers. The most stunning two-tiered short veil now comes trimmed with pearl and rhinestone embellishments, which give off a traditional look, but with a bit more allure. The newest look in short veils, the pencil edge embellished veils will prove the right twist to complete your wedding look. This veil is seemingly unassuming, but once the lights hit the small clusters of pearls and rhinestones embedded throughout the netting, this veil will shimmer and shine.

Mid-length Veil

The most versatile of veils, the mid-length veil can be made with multiple layers, but almost always ends between the bride’s elbows and fingertips.For one-tiered mid-length veils, it’s all about the edging. You can go for a beaded edge, a corded edge, a pencil edge or the ribbon-edged style. Some of the most stunning one-tiered mid-length veils available are the elbow-length veil with pearl and crystal edging, veils with a beaded scalloped edge and flower motif style, which a bride can pair with a tiara and the corded edge veil with scattered rhinestones.

When looking for two-tiered mid-length veils, you can’t pass by the top styles, which include the elbow-length veil with scattered pearls and the corded edge style, also elbow-length. The most stunning two-tiered mid-length veils are the fingertip-length veil with a scalloped edge, which includes beaded flowers and sequins, and the fingertip-length veil with dangling crystals and scalloped edging, often made with a decorative headpiece that is held in place with comb teeth. Note that most fingertip-length veils will measure from appropriately 28 to 40 inches long, depending on height.

Cathedral/Chapel Veil

If you love the dramatic, a long, elegant veil that can flow several feet behind your wedding dress is the right choice. While the cathedral/chapel veil is all about the length, edging is also a key to this look, whether you choose a finished edge, pencil edge or the stunning pencil edge with scattered pearls. The embellished style is a classic one and the beaded metallic edge style take veils to a whole new level. Elevating this style even further by adding maximum sparkle, check out the scattered rhinestone and pearl embellished cathedral/chapel length veil, which will leave your guests and husband-to-be breathless.

While there are clearly many lengths and styles of veils to choose from, take your time to shop around for your wedding veil. You want to find the most stunning wedding veil to complete your look and ensure the most memorable day of your life.
