The Ultimate Bridal Veil Guide 2026: Types, Lengths & How to Choose the Right Veil
Since 2016, we’ve been designing modern, flattering bridesmaids’ dresses. Now, in 2026, we’re thrilled to launch our bridal and veil collections for the very first time. Our goal? To make veils affordable, easily accessible, and effortlessly elegant for every modern bride. Whether you’re asking, “Which veil length is right for me?” or “Where can I buy a veil that suits my dress?”, this guide will give you all the answers. Why Veils Are More Than Just a Length of Fabric A veil isn’t an afterthought, it can completely transform your bridal look. The right veil can: Frame your face and soften your silhouette Add movement and dimension, perfect for photos Elevate even the simplest dress into something unmistakably bridal Create emotional moments during your walk down the aisle Many brides try on veils thinking they won’t like them, then suddenly, the look feels complete. It’s magic, every time. Bridal Veil Lengths: How to Choose the Right One We offer veils in carefully considered lengths, measured from where the veil sits in your hair to the hem. Length Name Description & Best For 18cm Bow Veil Fun, ultra-short veil for hen dos, rehearsal dinners, or after-party moments. Not typically for the ceremony. Birdcage Birdcage Veil Chic, fashion-forward style that sits near the face. Perfect for city weddings or modern brides. 45cm Shoulder-Length Highlights the neckline and bodice; works beautifully with contemporary silhouettes. 75cm Elbow-Length Gentle movement, light and unfussy. Great for understated bridal looks. 140cm Fingertip Veil The most versatile length; balances elegance with practicality. Works with most dresses. 250cm Chapel-Length Romantic, flowing veil that adds drama without being overly formal. 320cm Cathedral-Length Long, dramatic statement veil. Perfect for minimalist gowns and breathtaking aisle moments. TH&TH Tip: The “correct” veil length depends on your dress style, ceremony, and personal taste. For example, fingertip veils suit most dresses, while cathedral lengths shine with full skirts or clean, minimalist gowns. Types of Bridal Veils Veils can be simple or dramatic depending on style and tier. Single-tier veils: Modern, clean, and minimal. Double-tier veils: Include a blusher for a traditional reveal moment. Mantilla veils: Lace-edged and romantic (coming soon to our collection). TH&TH tip: Blushers are optional, but for brides who love tradition, they create a beautiful, ceremonial reveal. Veil Edges: How Finishes Affect the Look The edge of a veil changes its movement, feel, and how it photographs: Raw cut: Soft, minimalist, modern Crinoline edge: Structured and statement-making Satin ribbon edge: Clean, refined, subtly luxurious French lace edge: Romantic and timeless Fabric, Craftsmanship & Quality Our veils are handmade in the UK using fine tulle for: Soft drape and movement Comfort & Ease throughout the day Beautiful photography results Every veil is carefully crafted, balanced, and lightweight, because quality isn’t just how it looks, it’s how it behaves. Which Veil Style Matches Your Dress? Choosing a veil isn’t just about length, it’s also about style, shape, and dress type. Here’s a simple guide: Dress Style Recommended Veil Types & Lengths Why It Works Minimal or Modern Gowns Long, flowing veils (fingertip, chapel, cathedral) with raw cut or minimalist edges Adds drama and bridal elegance without overpowering the simplicity of the dress Ballgown / Full Skirt Chapel or cathedral-length veils; lace or satin edges Balances the volume of the skirt and creates a romantic, sweeping effect Mermaid / Fit-and-Flare Fingertip or elbow-length veils Highlights your silhouette and keeps proportions elegant Dresses with Statement Backs Shorter veils (elbow or fingertip) or single-tier veils Showcases the back detail without covering it Lace or Embellished Dresses Simple single-tier veils, raw cut or minimal satin edges Avoids visual overload and lets the dress details shine City or Registry Ceremonies Birdcage veils or short shoulder-length veils Adds a modern, fashion-forward touch for intimate weddings Tips for Matching Veil to Dress: Consider balance — a dramatic veil pairs best with simple silhouettes, while ornate dresses look best with minimalist veils. Think about movement — longer veils create flow, shorter veils keep your look structured. Don’t forget proportions — veil width and length should complement your dress shape and venue. Practical Tips Brides Often Overlook Longer veils can be removed after the ceremony for easier movement during the reception. Hairstyles affect veil sit and flow—low buns, loose waves, and braids all change the look. Short veils, like our 18cm bow veil, are perfect for pre-wedding events. Veils, Budget & Customisation A veil may seem simple, but craftsmanship matters: High-quality tulle Hand-finishing Thoughtful design and proportion Custom veils allow for personalised lace, embroidery, or lettering (coming soon), making your veil truly one-of-a-kind. 3 Tips for Choosing the Perfect Veil Try one on, even if you think you won’t want it. Think about how you’ll feel in photos for decades to come. Trust your instincts, what feels right is always most important.
