Choose the Perfect Veil for Your Wedding Gown

After you find the wedding gown of your dreams, the next step is to accessorize it perfectly. One of the accessories with the biggest impact is your bridal veil. There are many more to choose from than some brides realize, from plain tulle to beaded edged to lace mantilla styles.

It used to be that a blusher was de rigueur, but many modern brides will skip the blusher unless it is customary in their religious tradition. Don’t be too quick to dismiss the blusher, though. One man I knew was watching a movie with a wedding scene, and kept asking why the bride was not wearing a veil. Well, she was wearing a veil, a very long one, but she did not have a blusher over her face. To this man, and many others, the blusher is what really says “veil”. If that is what your groom expects to see when you walk down the aisle, you don’t want to disappoint him.

Veils can be embellished in many special ways, from Alençon lace appliqué to satin ribbon trim to handbeaded edges. If you choose a veil with beading, it is a great idea to coordinate the elements with your bridal jewelry. For instance, a veil decorated with Swarovski crystals and silver beads should be worn with handmade earrings to match it.

Take the time to find a veil that makes you feel very special. Your veil is your crowning glory – you want it to look perfect on your wedding day. For many women, it is only once they put on their veil that they truly feel like a bride.
