Wedding Veil - How to Select the Perfect One
Brides should keep several factors in mind when shopping for a Wedding Veil.
First, your veil must remain in harmony with the style of your wedding (party, an official reception, wedding in the church. Pick something bold to fit your theme, or something softer to be more conventional.
Second, you want a veil that really compliments your wedding dress. Remember, veils should merely complement wedding dresses, so don't be overly obsessive about finding a perfect match.
If your dress has a lot of elaborate details, you want to select a wedding veil that has little or no embellishment. Cut edge, pencil, satin cord, or satin ribbon edge veils will be perfect as they will not hide the beautiful details at the back of your wedding gown.
Elaborate veils look best with simpler wedding gowns. Lace veils and mantilla style veils will embellish the plain back of the wedding gown. Veils with scattered Swarovski pearls or rhinestones will add a beautiful sparkle to your dress.
54" or 72" wide veils are perfect for detailed full skirt gowns whereas full 108" wide veils go better with slim simple gowns.
And thirdly, you have to take into account your hairstyle. The two main ways of wearing a veil are on the top of the head, over your hairdo and just behind the tiara, or at the back of the head, under your hairdo. In the first case, the veil will drop around your shoulders, and in the second case, the veil will drape behind you.
Our bridal veils come attached to a Tulle-wrapped clear "hidden" plastic comb. This Comb is perfect for any bride as it will not be a visible part of your veil or hairstyle. The comb can be effortlessly placed in the hair in the desired area and makes the veil ready to wear. The advantage to using this type of comb with your veil is you can remove the veil after the ceremony while leaving your headpiece intact for the reception.
You can decide to wear your veil for the ceremony only and then remove it for the reception or you can wear your veil all throughout the wedding. How long you plan on wearing your veil can dictate how long it should be. If you want to wear your veil during the reception, pick either a shorter veil or a multi-tiered longer one with a bottom tier that can be detached after the reception. All cathedral veils in Victoria's Wedding Veils collection come with a detachable bottom tier, which is conveniently attached to the comb by velcro; thus, the top layer or layers can be worn on their own during the reception.(EzineArticles.com)
