Here are some general guidelines for pairing veil lengths with different dress silhouettes:
- A-line(Fingertip, Chapel, Cathedral)
This beautiful style works wonderfully with most veil lengths, though we particularly recommend fingertip, chapel, or cathedral length veils for a balanced look.
For A-lines with minimal trains, a floor-length veil creates that perfect ethereal effect; if your A-line gown features a longer or fuller train, we'd absolutely recommend our wide cathedral length veil. It's the ultimate bridal statement that'll have everyone gasping in awe as you walk down the aisle.
- Ball Gown(Elbow, Cathedral)
Ball gown style dresses often feature a cinched waist and a voluminous, "poufy" skirt.
To accentuate this dramatic silhouette, an elbow or wider cathedral-length veil is recommended.
- Mermaid, Fit and Flare, Trumpet(Fingertip, Chapel, Cathedral)
These figure-hugging styles create such gorgeous silhouettes. We've found that fingertip length veils work beautifully here, ending just where the dress begins to flare.
For extra drama, consider a cathedral length that extends beyond your train.
- Sheath Gown(Flayaway/Shoulder, Fingertip, Waltz, Floor)
For our brides choosing sleek sheath dresses, we recommend either a simple flyaway/shoulder or fingertip length veil.
If your dress has minimal train, a floor or chapel length veil adds that perfect touch of drama without overwhelming your streamlined silhouette.
