The Ultimate Guide to Wedding Veil Lengths
Wait…how long should your veil be? 👰✨
Let’s talk about one of the first questions I hear from clients:
“What veil length should I wear?”
The answer?
There isn’t just one.
And your dress doesn’t automatically dictate your veil length.
A Quick Veil-Length Cheat Sheet🤍
Elbow—approx. 36”
Short, sleek and light as air
A full lace Chantilly mantilla little bit gently grazes the elbows.
A 2-tier circular cut has the traditional blusher while allowing for easy movement.
Fingertip — approx. 40- 42”
Easy, romantic and incredibly versatile.
All of our veils are custom-made to your specific measurements
Feeling sentimental ? We can remake something new from your grandmother‘s veil.
Waltz — approx. 54”
A beautiful in-between length with movement but no long train.
Not all veils are white, not veils are made of tulle. This is our modern square cut Aria Veil made of pure silk organza.
Floor — approx. 70-75”
Just enough drama to reach the floor without becoming a full cathedral veil.
Easy to manage and glides gracefully on top of your gown’s train.
Chapel — approx. 90-95”
Elegant and dramatic without completely taking over the room.
Easy elegance -perfect for a narrow gown.
A long veil should extend at least inches beyond the train of your gown.
Cathedral — approx. 108”-115
Now we’re talking. ✨ Long, luxurious and gorgeous in photographs.
And then there are the extra-long statement veils for those of us who believe there’s really no such thing as too much tulle. (I may be slightly biased.)
Cathedral veils give you the perfect amount of drama for that drop kiss moment!
Royal Cathedral— approx120-140”
And then there are the extra-long statement veils for those of us who believe there’s really no such thing as too much tulle. (I may be slightly biased.)
Extra wide widths add extra drama for iconic veil shots.
Coronation— approx. 150”+
This is a gloriously fabulous look for brides with a sense of drama and a very long aisle to walk down!
