The 3 Principles of Buying a Wedding Veil

With wedding veils now becoming more elaborate and made in bold new colors, it is harder to determine which one will look best with your wedding gown. The bridal veil is only a wedding accessory. It should not be the main focal point of your bridal ensemble. Keep these principles in mind when shopping for a wedding veil:

1. Less is more. If there is heavy embroidery all over the back of the veil, it will cover the back of the gown. If the gown has a corset back or an elaborate train, you want to select a wedding veil that has little or no embellishment. The beautiful details at the back of your gown will easily be seen through the plain, pencil or satin cord edge veil.

2. Plain veils look good with any tiara or bridal jewelry. Wearing a plain veil allows the bride to wear a more stunning tiara and choose bolder jewelry such as chandelier earrings. If you select an embroidered designer veil, then you have to choose a simpler tiara. A large rhinestone tiara and busy veil will overpower the bride's face.

3. Elaborate veils look best with plain wedding gowns. A strapless, matte satin wedding gown, a style that has been popular for the past 10 years, will look perfect with a custom designer wedding veil. The elaborate edging of the veil will fall over the bare arms and embellish the plain back of the wedding gown.
Wedding veils trends will continue to be bolder and more elaborate in years to come. But as wedding gowns move on from the minimalist styles of the past decade, less elaborate wedding veils, such as plain, pencil edge and satin cord edge veils are a smarter choice.
