Since Biblical times, it seems that every era\u2019s felt compelled to put its personal stamp on the veil. In the 14th century, for example, brides wore demure hoods made of silk netting. The nostalgic Victorians donned yards and yards of handmade lace they naturally passed on to their heirs. And what about the swinging 60s? They brought us the pouf veil, still stylish today.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45017\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45017\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45017\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bbcc45f13496ee3a2009a3e27e92ef2d.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"902\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bbcc45f13496ee3a2009a3e27e92ef2d.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bbcc45f13496ee3a2009a3e27e92ef2d-532x800.jpg 532w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bbcc45f13496ee3a2009a3e27e92ef2d-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bbcc45f13496ee3a2009a3e27e92ef2d-500x752.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45017\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45017\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bbcc45f13496ee3a2009a3e27e92ef2d.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"902\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bbcc45f13496ee3a2009a3e27e92ef2d.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bbcc45f13496ee3a2009a3e27e92ef2d-532x800.jpg 532w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bbcc45f13496ee3a2009a3e27e92ef2d-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/bbcc45f13496ee3a2009a3e27e92ef2d-500x752.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/noscript> heyweddinglady<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>These days, any rules about the veil you\u2019re supposed have flown out the window. Whatever guidelines exist are purely a matter of taste, and depend on your sense of proportion and style.

Remember Julie Andrew\u2019s wedding in <em>The Sound of Music?<\/em> Her veil was silk organza . . . a stunning choice. But equally stunning, and my personal favorite, is silk gauze. It\u2019s not as transparent or springy as tulle, but the difference is delicious: striking opacity, and a floaty quality to die for. This type of veil lifts off the ground whenever you walk or the breeze blows.<\/p>\n<h2>Choosing the Veil That Perfects the Look<\/h2>\n<p>Most brides wait until they\u2019ve got the gown on hand before they choose the veil. In addition to complementing your dress, you\u2019ll need a veil that flatters your body type. For example, petite brides want to create the impression of height. Pouf veils are one option, as long as the volume up top doesn\u2019t evoke an Indian headdress, dwarfing the bride rather than raising her profile.<\/p>\n<div>\u2026even tall, sylph-like women have limitations.

You can get the drama and extension you need by scaling down a waltz or chapel-length to size.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, heavier and\/or thick-waisted brides look best in a one-layer dropped veil tacked onto a bun that falls in a swirl down the back.

Ditto for veils edged in ribbon; they can form lines across the waist, adding girth.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re tall, you\u2019ll want to keep your admirable poise intact without going over the edge.

In contrast, pure lace veils or ones edged with wide borders call for a simple, clean gown.<\/p>\n<p>But what about the dress with exquisite back details you want to show off? If this is the case, opt for a shorter veil: a fly-away or net pouf. Want a more romantic look? Try one layer of tulle\u2014 preferably in a dropped style that doesn\u2019t fall in creases and folds across your back. Tulle\u2019s simply the best for this; it\u2019s transparent enough to let fine details show through.<\/p>\n<p>What if your gown has no train? Donning a chapel or cathedral length veil can create one\u2014an especially elegant look when your veil sports a wide or lacy border, or a concentration of lacework on the train.<\/p>\n<h2>But When Do You and Your Veil Part?<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019ve picked a long veil and want to ditch part of it for the reception, have your salon work out the fastening system with you and your main helper (maid of honor, for example).<\/p>\n<p>Thinking of dispensing with the whole veil after the ceremony? When, exactly, is up to you: some brides toss it aside when the reception kicks off; others want some veiled photos of the cake cutting, toasts, first dance and so on. And some brides wear their veils all day long.
