Selecting an appropriate veil sometimes becomes a complicated task. But don’t worry, with a few simple tips you will never have trouble in this matter.

There are different types of veil lengths:

Elbow length- This is a veil that should be used if your wedding veil has no train. It is used to display the detailing around your waist of the gown. It also goes better if you have a full skirt gown. You can wear the elbow length veil during the formal as well as the semi formal weddings.

Fingertip length- You can wear this veil with a full length gown that has no trains. It is a 36” long veil that falls at the fingertips of the bride when her hands are rested at the sides.

Cathedral length- This is a floor length veil suitable only for the formal weddings. The veil extends on the floor form about 6” away from the train. This gives a very dramatic appearance. Wear the cathedral length veil with a cathedral length gown to gain a number of compliments.

If you are short in height, then prefer the elbow length veil. Finger length veils should be preferred by those who are taller than 5’7”. Then veil that you select should accentuate the dress that you are wearing. The veil length should be a bit either above or below any detailing on your dress. If you have a sharply defined waistline, choose a veil that ends above or below the waistline.
