Veils
Always consider the detailing of your dress when selecting your veil. The veil should accentuate and be proportional to the dress, not take away from its details. Your veil length should be cut just above or below any focal point on your dress.
It is very important to consider the placement of the veil on your head. Keep in mind that if you are wearing it toward the back of your head, the veil will be longer. Below are examples of some of the most popular veils
