So, you have decided to veil. Excellent!
And how to choose a right wedding veil?
Choosing the perfect wedding veil you will need to pay attention to the following aspects:
A veil needs to fit in with the style of your wedding, the shape of the dress, neckline, and your hairstyle.
Consider your veil length
If you are go to married outdoor or on the beach, it seems to me more appropriate to choose a short veil as the Birdcage for better control of the situation. At long veil increases the chance that you will have to fight with the wind.
Blusher
is a short veil covering the face before The First Kiss. This romantic one tier veil in combination with a beautiful headpiece or flowers brings the amazing look to the bride. You can also wear it with a long veil.
Bridal Birdcage Veil
or Russian Style Bridal Net is a very short single veil of french netting or fine, that you can wear with a Fascinator, Comb another headpiece.
Shoulder length veils
are suited to informal dresses with well-graced upper body details and look good with flowing hair. Multiple tier Shoulder veil can make your face visually rounder.
Elbow length wedding veil
This veil is elegant veil falling over the shoulders. The conservative version of this veil uses only one layer without overwhelming your dress. This length is appropriate for Ball Gown.
Fingertip length wedding veil
makes small brides look shorter. This popular veil complements most wedding gowns.
Waltz length veils
or ballet veils extend to your knees and let you chance to dance if you don’t want to remove your long veil after the ceremony.
Floor length veils
are suited to full-length dresses that do not have a train. These veils add volume to the bride’s image.
Chapel length veil
is around 90 inches long and lightly covers the floor. The veils give the illusion of a train and ideal for formal wedding. Maybe you will need an assistance to move around.
Cathedral length veils
or royal are the longest and extend up to nine feet along the ground. This veil is not so easy, you will certainly need some help, not to spoil the hairstyle. Do not use this length if you do not have assistants or if not invited many guests and your wedding is not too luxuriant.
How many tiers?
The choice is dependent on the style of your gown. Avoid extra tiers if you have the full figure. If you are tall you can wear a longer veil, if not choose waist height or above. The veil could even be a four-tier.

Your veil needs to be a suitable color and style to your dress. Try out which veil fits you most mantilla, gothic, birdcage or cap veil. Consider which embellishment and edge of the veil complement your dress the best.
