Wedding Veil - How to Select the Perfect Length

Veils come in many lengths but the most common are elbow, fingertip, waltz, chapel, and cathedral.
Blusher

Blusher is a single layer of tulle or a shorter tier of a veil that falls in front of the face and is worn when walking down the aisle. Typically the bride's father lifts the blusher layer and folds it back over the longer one at the end of the processional.

Elbow Length Veil

This veil is about 30 inches long flowing down gently on the shoulders and ending at your elbows. This is the most common length as it provides elegance without distracting any attention from the bride or the dress.

Fingertip Length Veil

This veil is about 42" long extending down to your fingers. It compliments most wedding dress styles, from simple dresses to sophisticated ball gowns.

Waltz Length Veil

This veil is about 65 inches long flowing down to your feet. Waltz length is a good choice if you want to wear a long veil, and your wedding dress doesn't have a train.This veil is about 75 inches long flowing down the train of your wedding dress. This length is best suited for a more formal wedding.

Cathedral Length Veil

Cathedral veil is the longest bridal veil. Usually it matches the length of the wedding dress's train. This veil is about 110 - 120 inches long. When choosing this length, you have to decide for yourself if you really want to hide the back of your wedding dress. This veil is very long and can completely change the look of your wedding gown.
