When it comes to wedding dresses, the most iconic accessory is a veil. Whether this staple is made from diamonds or flowers, there’s a veil to go with any wedding and dress. Although most brides may feel as if this headpiece is necessary, it’s actually up to their discretion. If you’re not sure whether you want to don a veil, then here are some tips to known:
Pros of a Veil
A Statement Piece
One of the best features of a bridal veil is that it’s a timeless statement piece for a bride. You know exactly what we’re talking about, ladies: from Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday to Julia Roberts in Runaway Bride, the veil is a staple of wedding culture!
Of course, when it comes to your veil, the style is entirely up to you. From the length to the material it’s made out of, there are no rights or wrongs when it comes to this fashionable accessory!
The Finishing Touch
Indeed, when you’re about to get married, most brides want that traditional “bridal look.” Of course, your dress will be the ultimate statement piece — but the veil is the finishing touch that most brides long for. When you put a veil on your head, it will be like the icing on top of the wedding cake; sweet and sentimental!
When you visit Village Bridal, not only will we have an extensive array of fabulous and beautiful veils, but we also have a large variety of jewelry and accessories to bring your wedding veil dreams to new heights!
Cons of a Veil
Might be Annoying
If you’re not a fan of hair blowing around in your face, then a veil might be out of the question for you. Since a veil is made from a light, airy material, such as tulle, there’s a great chance that your headpiece will blow around on your big day — especially if you’re holding the ceremony outside.
Additionally, if you plan on showing off your fabulous bridal hair on the big day, then a veil will block your guests' view. Of course, veils can be trimmed to the desired length — but even the shortest of veils could get in the way, surprisingly.
An Additional Cost
When it comes to planning your wedding, the dress is typically the most expensive part of your budget. However, if you have a specific budget in mind, then a veil could usually run at a higher cost than expected. This will not only chip away at your dress budget — but you might feel as if you’d rather spend it all on your dress and not the veil.
No matter what you choose, we’re confident that you’re going to look stunning on your wedding day, with or without a veil!
