Veil Options Overview
The number of tiers; length; type of material; the way the material is cut;
colors; edge treatment; beading or other embellishment; and how it is attached
can all combine to make a veil uniquely yours. With several options for each
element, you have literally hundreds of thousands of veils from which to choose.

Veil Length
The veil length is one of the first choices most brides make
while or shortly after choosing a wedding gown. A short, to-the-tip-of-the-nose
veil creates a much different bridal impression than a long, cathedral one.
Plus, there are many lengths between these two extremes.
Shoulder
Flyaway
Elbow
Wrist
Fingertip
Knee
Ballet
Waltz
Chapel
Floor
Cathedral
Royal
Colors
In short,
veil colors are generally ivory or white. In practice, it can be a little
more involved.
Veil Materials
The generic word for the material a typical veil is made from is
tulle, which can be made from silk, nylon, rayon, or "bridal illusion."
Birdcage or other coarser-weaved veils are made from
netting.
Veil Styles
Some veil styles are described according to veil features,
others according to their shape or their gathers (how and where the headpiece is
attached).
