Veil
A wedding veil is a piece of light fabric or netting worn by a bride that conceals some part of her head or face.
Historically a white diaphanous veil was worn to symbolize virginity, in the tradition of a white wedding.

A blusher is a single layer that is worm over the face during the ceremony. It can be paired with a longer veil or worn by itself.
- Elbow
A popular choice for casual weddings, the elbow length veil traditionally connects to the headpiece and extends to the elbows.

The most common veil due to it's ability to be compatible with almost any dress. The veil extends to your fingertips with arms down by the sides in a relaxed position.
- Waltz (Also called Ballerina)

- Chapel
More popular for formal weddings as a way to compliment the train of a dress, the chapel length veil extends 2 1/2 yards from the headpiece.
- Cathedral
The equivelant to the men's "white tie" look, the cathedral is the most formal of veil lengths extending 3 1/2 yards from the headpiece.
