Chapel Veil

Chapel veil models, which are in the long veil category, present a mysterious and very ostentatious image with the tulle covering the face.

Chapel veils are frequently used in both fish and long and straight cut models.


Cathedral Veil

Cathedral veil models, which reach up to three meters in length, are a very interesting and pleasant choice, especially in classical concept weddings held in hotels and historical venues. Cathedral veils, which go very well with fish or half fish wedding dresses, offer both a flashy and a very cool image.

Brides who want to use the wedding dress in a more flamboyant way can experience cathedral veil designs.

Nun Veil

The nun's veil models, which wrap the head of the body in a way similar to a shawl, offer a very sophisticated image. In these veil models, the edges of the veil are usually embroidered with lace, and the remaining parts are made of tulle. It is often preferred by brides who want to add a different atmosphere to their wedding dress.

How is the Veil Attached?

Veils, one of the most important parts of the wedding dress, can be used in different ways according to their designs. The veils, which are usually attached to the hair with the help of wire buckles, can sometimes be used by complementing with accessories such as flowers and sometimes hats. Before installing the chosen veil model, there are some details that should be considered. First of all, the hairstyle must be made before the wedding dress is worn, and then the wedding dress must be worn. Wearing a veil without wearing a wedding dress can disrupt both the hair and the stance of the veil. After the wedding dress is put on, after the finishing touches of the hair are completed, you can put the veil on the hair with the help of a hairpin. If there are other accessories to be used with the veil, you can wear them together with the veil, and you can complete the stance of your wedding dress step by step.

What Should Be Considered When Choosing a Veil?

There are important factors in choosing the veil, which is the complementary and indispensable part of the wedding dress. When choosing a veil, first of all, it is necessary to pay attention to its harmony with the wedding dress. Since each veil model has a different atmosphere and design, it should definitely match the wedding dress you have chosen before. For example, if you are going to wear a princess wedding dress, it will be more pleasant if you look at the elbow-length veil instead of the cathedral veil models that reach the ground. At the same time, you can also consult the style consultants at the place where you choose your wedding dress, paying attention to its harmony with your body lines. Finally, the venue of your wedding is also very important in choosing a veil. Long veils such as cathedral veils offer a very stylish look in weddings to be held in more elegant and classical venues. Short veil models can be a better option in places with a more spring weather and rural wedding concept .
