There are different types of wedding veils to choose from. Using a guide to choose your wedding veil is essential because there are different factors to consider before buying your wedding veil.

1. Try Different Wedding Veils

During your fitting appointments at the bridal salon, make sure you try as many wedding veils as possible till you find the perfect veil that complements your wedding dress. If your dress is embellished with decorations, you may want to settle for a plain veil.

2. Make a Budget

Brides keep getting this budget advice. If you don’t want to spend beyond your set wedding budget, it is advisable to assign a budget to each accessory you need. You may think a wedding veil won’t cost you much because it seems light-weight but brace yourself for the shock of some prices. The price varies depending on the design/style and embellishments.

3. Consider your Hairstyle

Different veil suits different hairstyles. For instance, if you’re going for a mantilla veil that is worn flatly over the head, you wouldn’t want to have a bun up.

4. Matching Your Wedding Dress

Be sure of the color of your wedding dress before buying the veil. There is pure white, diamond white, light ivory, and dark ivory to select from.

Your veil may or may not have a matching lace with your wedding dress. This is not compulsory. However, make sure it complements your wedding dress.

5. Measure Up

Because of your hairstyle which may affect the final length of the veil, it is advisable to measure up. First, measure your height to have an idea of what you want. Secondly, decide on the kind of hairstyle you want and where you will like to insert your hair comb. Then measure from that point and stop at the point where you want the veil’s length.
