You've heard all about veil lengths, but what about veil width? Does it really matter? The answer is a resounding yes.
Finding your ideal veil width isn't nearly as challenging as you might think. In fact, we promise it's much simpler than choosing your veil length. (;
What Width for Short Veils?
When it comes to short veils – whether they're shoulder, elbow, hip, fingertip, knee (also known as ballet), or waltz length – the width isn't quite as crucial as it is for longer veils. Why? Because shorter veils aren't affected by your dress' train in the same way longer ones are.
For most of our beautiful brides choosing a shorter veil, we typically recommend our standard width of 63"/160cm. It's the perfect balance of fullness and elegance.
What Width for Long Veils
Long veils that lay over your train need special attention to width. The concept is simple - your veil's width should match your dress's fullness to create perfect harmony.
Here's a guide with visulizal reference to selecting the perfect width to ensure a graceful and sophisticated look on your special day.
