When it comes to planning for a wedding, the garment tends to get a lot of attention. Not only should it flow seamlessly with the gown, but it should also complement the bride’s hair and fit with the event’s overall theme. If you’re engaged and planning your nuptials, here are some popular veil styles to consider.

What Wedding Veil Should You Choose?

1. Fingertip

The fingertip veil gets its name from the length to which it falls—just at the fingertips when your arms are resting at your side. This universal favorite flatters virtually any dress style and can also suit a broad range of hairstyles. Many modern brides like to pair it with a classic chignon bun.

2. Juliet Cap

The “cap” style of this veil usually incorporates detailing, such as an intricate lace pattern or flower crown. It’s worn directly on the top of the head and most flattering with pared-down hairstyles, such as loose waves. Brides looking to cultivate a Bohemian vibe are most drawn to the style.

3. Cathedral

For a veil with dramatic flair, the cathedral style is a perfect choice. Its fabric is typically exquisitely detailed and can reach great lengths, spanning anywhere from 9 to 25 feet. While it makes a gorgeous statement for photos, consider taking it off after the wedding, so you can move with ease during the reception.

4. Blusher

Traditionally, the blusher veil stays over the face until the groom lifts it at the altar. When flipped back, it adds volume to any hairstyle and creates a classic, feminine look. Typically, the blusher veil is made from tulle and hits right at the bust.

5. Birdcage

A vintage style featuring a small piece of lacy fabric placed strategically near the front of the head, the birdcage veil is best suited for brides seeking a retro vibe. This style works exceptionally well with sleek hairdos and a bold, red lip.
