Traditional Wedding Veils have rounded edges
and the entire width is gathered across the top. This
is the most common shape for bridal veils and works
well as a blusher because it falls behind your face
when worn back. Traditional wedding veils can be done
in 1, 2 or 3 tiers and work well with all styles of
wedding gowns.

Waterfall Bridal Veils are also known as cascade
and angel cut bridal veils. The cut of the veil forms
gentle waves that flow down the sides. Before it’s gathered
it looks like a large triangle with the point rounded
out, so the full width is advised as it tapers to a
narrow bottom edge. Waterfall shape works best for elbow,
fingertip and waltz length bridal veils. If used with
cathedral length wedding veils be aware that it will
not have much cascading effect and the train end will
be very narrow, almost a point, while traditional shape
will form a large circular train. They work best as
1 tier wedding veils and are a great choice for wedding
gowns that are detailed on the back as these bridal
veils get narrow and sheer toward the bottom.

Oval Wedding Veils are like the
traditional bridal viels, but only part of the width
is gathered across the fold on top. At least 18" remains
un-gathered on each side. This only works for 2 tier
bridal veils. A longer 3rd tier could be made separate.
Oval wedding veils work smoothly as a blusher. When
worn back the sides will fall closer to your face than
the traditional bridal veils. This makes them a good
choice for wedding gowns that have main features lower
than bust or shoulder level.

Heart Shaped Bridal Veils are
3 separate sections gathered together to create multi-tiered
wedding veils without as much fullness. An edging is
necessary for this shape, as a cut edge would lose definition
and have a torn look. Heart shaped wedding veils have
3 sections, not tiers and would not work as a blusher.
These bridal veils work best for shoulder, elbow and
fingertip length wedding veils. They work well with
wedding gowns that have a more relaxed romantic look.
Heart shaped wedding veils are beautiful at beach weddings
and outdoor weddings because the layers are light and
not poofy and look lovely blowing in a breeze.

Mantilla Veils are not gathered
at all. They are a large circle or oval of illusion
(or chiffon) often edged with lace. Mantilla veils are
worn flat for a very sheer look that works well at beach
weddings and outdoor weddings. Mantilla veils are of
traditional Spanish origin and work well with wedding
gowns of many styles.

Birdcage Veil
Visor Veil |
Birdcage Veil: is a short veil made
of French netting that can be worn at chin length, at
the nose or eye level. They are stylish bridal veils
that look vintage. We make them in two styles. The classic
birdcage veil shape where the veil is gathered in a
way that resembles a bird cage. The visor veil shape
where the birdcage veil is a rectangle shaped to hug
the face with each end gathered. Since it hugs the face
a birdcage veil is a great idea for beach weddings and
outdoor weddings. Vintage wedding gowns will look classic
with a birdcage veil. Purchase a separate feather hair
accessory for unique bridal veils that look vintage. |
