I have to laugh because it is utterly ironic that a veil company owner me! For all those brides out there who also need to buy a veil with little time to spare, my short story is below.
I hope it provides you with some assurance that you can in fact get a rush veil order in time for your big day. Its one thing to forget, another thing to procrastinate and leave it to the last minute! Ideally, buy and receive your veil at least a month in advance of your wedding just to be on the safe side. I love planning parties, and weddings are certainly the biggest party of them all!
For me, the idea of planning a party is like taking a relaxing yoga class. Most definitely not. Nylon tulle melts instantly above a certain temperature. As veil makers, we do use an iron here at the studio, but we have rigorously tested for the maximum temperature our tulle can stand. And as your veil is steamed and crease-free directly before it goes in its box, it should only have very light creasing when you open it.
So what can you do to remove creases? You can steam your veil! The most popular wedding veil styles by far would be the simple one or two layer veil. This is your classic, traditional veil.
All of the other options are designed to create slightly different shapes and looks and are a more alternative option. That way, if you want to remove your veil later on for the reception so you can boogie on down, you still have a pretty hair accessory in place. On occasion, we have been asked to attach a veil straight onto a headpiece or onto a plain headband for brides who wear wigs or have ultra-fine hair, etc.
Just ask! Check out some of our gorgeous headpieces. They sure do! As we mentioned in an earlier question, we use high-quality metal combs that can be gripped into place so they are secure even if your hair is worn loose. The only exceptions to this could be un-gathered drop or mantilla styles. We can hide one under the lace on a mantilla, for example. Veils are almost always made from bridal illusion tulle.
Especially if you want to wear the blusher over the face for the ceremony. Seeing where you are walking during the most important walk of your life is a must! We have a couple of fabric additions to complement the traditional bridal illusion tulle. A blusher veil is the classic, traditional style with the layer that is worn over the face for the ceremony.
Any veil with more than one layer can be worn as a blusher veil. But as we mentioned in an earlier question, these days only about half of brides choose to go this route. If you want your blusher to be extra sheer, choose a centre gathered or drop veil style. These will have less gather lines running vertically in front of your face. Blushers are typically around waist length 30 inches unless, of course, the veil itself is shorter than that.
You can check out all the individual layer lengths in our Length Guide or go here to view all of our two layer veils. There are no hard and fast rules. But I think if you have opted for a long one you would probably want to remove it at some point during the evening. Also, a lot of dresses have the option to bustle them up — to shorten the train to floor length by means of a ribbon and loop inside the skirt. So if your dress has this option, it would be strange to then still have a super long veil trailing behind you, no?
They come in different widths to match the large array of wedding dress shapes and to create different looks. For example, a sheath or column dress looks great with a slim width veil.
An A-line or mermaid gown looks great with a medium width style. And a ballgown looks fabulous with a really full veil. However, like with everything else, there are no set-in-stone rules. For example, below our gorgeous real bride Abigail is wearing a slim dress with an absolutely enormous veil. She really wanted it to make an impact, so instead of just going for the typical size you might expect for the dress, she chose the widest fabric and an extra long custom length.
Playing around with width and length options opens up all kinds of possibilities! Go here to check out our full guide to veil widths. More close-up images of all of these edges can be found in our Edge Finish Guide.
Or click on each option above for real veil examples in our collections. The most popular edges by far are the cut and pencil edges found on our simple floaty veils.
These edgings are so delicate and subtle that they literally go with ANY dress. If the dress already has beading, you may as well tie it into the design. So try to notice if your dress has silvery diamantes, or pearls, or both! Second, what other accessories do you already have? And third, what do you like? Because if you want you can just throw point one and two out the window and go with that!

I love the idea of a veil with scattered pearls. However, my dress is a bit boho with lace and no beading. Would the pearls go? Thanks, Lucy. I absolutely think lace and pearls are a winning combination!
Have you seen our Matilda veil? I actually do think the Matilda drop veil would suit the style of your dress. I will be wearing Daenerys by Badgley Mischka and am thinking that I should go for an elbow or fingertip single layer veil with no decorations so as to match the train.
I would be so grateful if you would recommend a veil for me, or let me know if I am going for the correct style? Thank you for saying so! This was so useful to read! I am currently trying to figure out what type of veil would be best. I keep thinking plain is better, but your veils are so beautiful. Incase you are able to provide any recommendations, here is a link to what my outfit will look like, although the skirt is not as full with tulle.
Thank you for any help you may be able to provide! I like your idea of chapel length. My first instinct is plain to tie in with the raw cut skirt and leave the lace detail as your top only. The bigger question is what colour veil are you going to have? Are you sticking with the ivory of the top?
You know we can make you a pale blue veil right? Ah thank you so much! I guess I should order some swatches and match them with the top when I get it then! Thanks for the guide. Very helpful. I have ordered swatches from you and know I need a light ivory colour.
Are there any examples of models in Italian style tulle? I think it needs to be quite structured to go with my dress. Thank you! Hope it helps! And help! But I love a long veil. So you could go long, plain, and quite wide and dramatic with something like our Jessica veil. This will be wide enough to wear over the detachable train, and still look fab without it.
I chose a plain veil for you because the dress is already quite detailed with all the 3D lace elements. Love the info on this site! I need help! Any ideas would be much appreciated. I think you could definitely go for plain veil and let that gorgeous back detail do all the talking.
Or perhaps mostly plain with either a few beads like you said or maybe some teeny-tiny lace pieces just around the bottom. This guide is so informative and helpful thanks. Can I please have some recommendations, my wedding dress is the casablanca mc kenna style in blush and ivory with silver beading and pearls as in photo on website. I am going to get a full cathedral veil do you think I should get an ivory or blush veil?.
Also do you think a plain veil or a veil with beading and pearls are the edges would be better? Thanks so much for your advice. Just been to look at your dress! Hi this is a really good site and has helped me out a lot. I think I know what I want but a second opinion would really help. I will be wearing a Justin Alexandra dress style In ivory. Any help on the type of veil would help me a great deal.

For the princess bride who loves herself some sparkle, a classic, raw edge cathedral veil with scattered Swarovski crystals that will twinkle as you walk down the aisle is absolutely stunning, says Carla Imbriano, lead designer at Boutique de Voile. Another fitting option she suggests: "A veil with minimal matching beadwork along the edge.

A breathtaking ornate or sheer illusion lace back is a popular trend. To show off your backside, Imbriano recommends a special custom cut cathedral without any accents beadwork or crystals in the body of the veil.
