The spring/summer 2013 issue of The Knot Florida (TheKnot.com/florida) features an informative
piece that helps brides choose which type of veil best suits their overall
desired look. The Knot briefly details three different veil styles: the cage
veil, the blusher veil, and the fingertip veil.
The Knot writer Jennie Ma says that the cage veil is a shorter style that covers and frames just the face. The result is a minimalist
statement. The best way to wear this style of veil is to let the edge of the
veil fall just below the nose.
The “blusher” in blusher veil refers to the piece of tulle
that covers your face. Ma says this veil may come in at the chin, shoulder, or
fingertip length. The blusher also works as a double-tiered veil where you have
two layers of tulle. One of the layers is pulled over your face, and the other
layer is draped behind your head. Both styles should be fastened on the
crown of your head.
Ma details the fingertip veil as one that falls below the
hips and extends to the fingertips, of course. This veil can be worn secured at the crown
of the head, slightly behind the crown of the head, or if the hair is worn up,
just above the updo.
Choosing a veil comes down to the bride’s personality and
which style makes her feel most confident. Trying on veils on the day that
you find a wedding dress is a great way to ensure that you’ll get a veil that
compliments you and your dress in the best way possible.
