The Bridal Veil

Tips for wearing a Veil

Keep diamantes and other fine details on your veil to a minimum. They may show up in your photos like black dots

Complement a heavily beaded gown with a plan sheer tulle veil

Don’t go for heavy detail in your dress and veil

Don’t wear a long and multi-layered veil if you’re petite. The veil will overpower you and your gown.

Try to keep it in proportion.

Your veil doesn’t have to be exactly the same colour as your dress, just don’t mix start white with ivory colours
