Wedding Veils
A Look At Wedding Veils
If you’re planning to wear a wedding veil during your ceremony, you’ll want to choose a style that matches your other bridal accessories. While a groom's shoes should match his suit and a bridesmaid's shoes should match her dress, a bride's shoes need to match her bridal jewelry and other wedding accessories, including her veil. While some modern brides opt for bridal tiaras, a veil provides a more traditional look, particularly when coupled with matching wedding shoes and bridal jewelry.
Whether you opt for a modern, vintage or traditional style of veil, hiding your face behind lace and having your fiance lift your veil at the altar is a moving experience for most brides. Just as white is the color of innocence and therefore the color of a bride, a wedding veil can add a sense of traditional to your wedding as well as a hint of romance and mystery to your overall outfit. Floor length veils can be cumbersome but provide the most complete sense of quiet mystery and anticipation. Shorter veils, pinned into an up do, provide a more modern look or, when combined with a dainty hat, a definite vintage tint.
Wedding veils are particularly fun as part of bridal lingerie. Whether you take your actual wedding veil into the bedroom or buy wedding day lingerie that includes a veil, you and your new husband are sure to have fun with it. Just like regular wedding veils, wedding lingerie can come with a variety of veils. Whether you want something traditional or a more risque, modern outfit for the bedroom, there are sure to be options available that come with enticing veils.
Smaller wedding veils, particularly the short style popular in the 50s and 60s, are easy to walk and talk in and can easily be worn to your reception. If you’re planning on wearing your wedding dress and shoes to your reception, choosing a short veil will save you the time it takes to change your hairdo after the ceremony. Despite the convenience of short veils, nothing says tradition like a long, wispy veil. Of course, there are also lots of size options between short and floor length.
