SO you're planning your wedding. When deciding on your look, often people ask, "Are you wearing a veil?" Here are some things you may want to know before deciding on the answer. A veil should be the finishing touch on your wedding day look.
The Bird Cage
This is a shorter style veil usually made from tulle or wide netting (shown). What a chic way to frame your face. The secret to pulling off this wow- factor is letting the edge fall just below the nose. No need to worry with this hassle free look!
The Fingertip
The Cathedral
These forever flowing beauties are the grandest of them all. Draping well past the length of the gown, these veils aren't the easiest to manage but they are some of the most intriguing to photograph.
The Blusher
This term refers to the piece of fabric which is pulled over to cover your face. Think of the classic scene where the father of the bride lifts the veil from the brides face before giving her away. A blusher can also be used with a double-tier veil where the top layer is pulled over the face.
The Pouf
This very trendy, very "right now" look is designed as a gathered piece of tulle into a hairpiece. It adds retro fullness and height. These were originally popular in the 1960's.
The Mantilla
The Mantilla ( man-tea-ya) is usually made from a circular piece of lace or tulle with heavy lace edging. It's held in place by a comb on the top of the head to create a dramatic, romantic face framing look. These veils originated in Spanish culture.
The Fascinator
Although these are not technically a veil, they are increasing in popularity in the place of veils. Maybe it's due to the very public Royal wedding?? The word originally referred to a lacy head covering but made mostly from feathers. Nowadays, it refers to a large hair decoration with elaborate fabrics, trimmings, and decorations.
Now, what will you choose to complete your wedding day look?
