Your wedding day is considered a significant moment in your life, and everything needs to be just right. From the wedding dress to the flowers, when adding the finishing touches, it's essential to make sure the veil ties it all together. Here are a few veil styles to complete your dream wedding dress look.

Popular Veil Styles for the Modern Bride

1. Cathedral

The cathedral is considered to be the longest veil style on the market today. By being so long—someone from the wedding party, such as the maid or matron of honor—should adjust it during the ceremony, so it's laid out correctly. This type of veil can include stones, embroidery, and lace detailing and goes best with a wedding dress that has a long train with a dramatic flair. 

2. Chapel

A bit shorter than the cathedral, the chapel veil spreads just a few inches past the bottom of the bride's dress. This option goes best with dresses that are simple and not overly dramatic because the veil becomes the main focal point—with intricate embroidery details throughout the fabric that cascades down the back.

3. Ballet

The ballet veil goes down the bride’s back and stops right above her knees. This is the perfect choice for dresses that have a more romantic or delicate look to them. Sometimes, this veil comes with a few different layers of fabric, so it can easily pair with a variety of different wedding dress styles.

4. Fingertip

This option runs down the bride’s back and stops where her fingertips end. This style is perfect if you're considering an updo because it has a clip included that's easy to attach to the hair, tying together the final look that's not overly dramatic.

5. Blusher

As one of the shorter lengths, the blusher veil covers the bride's face and is then pulled back before the first kiss—where it hits right at the top of the shoulders. As a short and classic style, this veil pairs well with traditional wedding dresses.
