Bridal veil lengths

Bridal veils come in three lengths viz elbow, fingertip and cathedral. Currently, 72” wide veil is the most popular option as it is most flattering and the veil does not appear very thick or super puffy. The 108” wide veil is generally avoided by most brides them because it is too full and covers the back of the gown completely. Thus, it overshadows the bride.

The length of the bridal veil should be such that it should be proportionate and accentuate the dress and not cover its important details. The veil length should be cut just either above or below any point of your dress to be emphasized. Avoid selecting the veil lengths such that is ends where your bodice begins. This creates an effect that cuts you into halves visually. If you have a well defined waistline, then it is advisable to select such veil lengths that will end exactly at the waistline.

The length of the veil should not be also very short that only covers lavish details on the back of your gown that you want to flaunt. A long length-veil will focus on all the details. Brides, who are below 5’4”, should never opt for short veils. This is so because the shorter veils end at the middle thigh and this visually cuts the brides’ legs into half making them appear shorter.

Long veils have now come back into fashion. It creates a romantic look and attracts the bridegroom more than any other bridal veil length. If you are wearing a dress with a full skirt, then an elbow length veil will best suit it. This veil should end below the lower back, but above the beginning of the skirt. Veils are very popular and its selection depends upon the individual tastes and preferences of the bride.
