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.

Types

• Blusher

A blusher is a single layer that is worn 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.

• Fingertip

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)

This veil extends from the headpiece to your ankles. This style of veil is more commonly worn with dresses that don't have a train.

• 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.

• Mantilla

With a Spanish inspired look, this veil drapes over the head. Most commonly made of lace, lengths can vary and does not require a headpiece.

• Double-Tier

A veil that has layers extending to two different lengths. This style creates more volume.
