Advice for Choosing the Perfect Wedding Veil

1. Remember the veil is part of the Bridal outfit, not something that is ‘plonked’ on your head as an after thought.  
- agree!

2. Try lots of different styles and lengths of veil in different fabrics to find the one that best compliments  your  outfit.
- will do!

3. Don’t  have a heavily patterned veil with a very ornate dress as one will ‘fight’ with the other. 
- checked

4. Your guests should say ‘YOU look stunning’, not your outfit looks stunning’. 
- to work with! psst veil kenot overshadow tuannya ye! :P

5. Don’t have a veil that cuts across detail at the back of the dress.  Let the veil finish below the decoration.  Silk tulle is sheer enough to allow decoration to show through. 
- will do!

6. If you are petite, don’t  have a veil that swamps you such as a high bouffant veil. It will only make you look smaller - 
noted!

7. Think of adding colour eg. embroidery, to the veil to link in with your bridesmaids and/or bouquet. - 
noted!

8. A veil can transform the simplest dress into a stunning Bridal outfit. - 
wow, hopefully!

9. Don’t  forget to take your veil with you when you have your hair trial. 
- not applicable

10. If you are nervous of pressing your veil, ask the store where you bought it if they will steam it a couple of days before the wedding. You can transport it home covered in a pillow case or duvet cover depending on its length.
 - not applicable

11. Don’t wear something because you think you should, wear what YOU want.
 - definitely!

12. Don’t  make a decision about whether to wear a veil or not until you have tried some on  with  your dress.  A long veil can create a wonderful ‘aura’ around you. 
- noted! aura aura aura!

13. Don’t  forget you can have a veil made to measure just as you can a dress.  You can have  the exact length and decoration that YOU want. 
- checked!
  
14.You only wear a veil once so make the most of it and enjoy it! 
- definitely, agree!

The great thing about being a bride today is that anything goes! Whether you want to do everything traditionally or just choose the style that looks best and suits your personality. The following are a few tips to help you in making your decision.

  • Choose a simple veil and headpiece if your dress is very ornate.

  • Consider the back detail of your dress. If you want to show off the back of the dress, you may want to choose a short veil (blusher or elbow length) a veil with less fullness to it (72″ width, pony veil, or the ballerina headband and side veil).

  • If your gown is very simple, you may want a very ornate headpiece and or veil to attract attention to your face.

  • Or if your gown is very simple and your style is very simple and elegant, you may also want to wear a simple headpiece and or veil with minor details.

  • Be confident in your decision! This is your day. If you feel confident, you’ll beam with beauty. Congratulations!
Happy preparing all!

p/s: Preparing for a WEDDING is exciting but very, very challenging! Every SINGE things from dresses to tiny things like pins has to be well prepared! Oh my...
