Standard lengths:
A face tier or blusher is made 30 (75cm) long and goes down to the waist. If
the veil is worn low at the back of your head its a good idea to make the face
tier a bit longer, eg 34 (80cm) so that when pulled over the face it does not
end on your nose!
30(75cm) waist or elbow length. The face tier is made 2 (5 cm)
shorter. Generally used for shorter gowns without a train. Used for formal and
semi-formal weddings.
45 (115cm) fingertip length. It falls right at the fingertips of the
bride if her hands are at her side and is used for formal and semi-formal
weddings.
66 (165cm) chapel length, goes down to the floor and is used for
formal and semi-formal weddings.
108(270cm) cathedral length, trails on the floor. They are used for
formal weddings and generally the veil will extend onto the floor at least six
inches past the train.
But we know that not all brides come in standard sizes and we can customize the
length to any
of your special requirements. Youll have to email us with the measurements and
the veil will be
made accordingly.

Our styles are designed so that to make most of the embroidery or beading on a
veil. Thus the width is chosen accordingly. Half width veils are sheerer and
emphasise the dress detail and/or the embroidery and beading on the veil. For a
fuller and more traditional look select the style in full width. And some veils
are in between, ie. width. Again, all these can be customised to your special
requirements.

-
A veil is usually worn on a comb and separately from the headpiece so that it
can be removed during the reception. You would normally fix it in place over
your face and then flip it back. If wearing a tiara it should be inserted
first. Leaving the tiara on during the reception will ensure its clear who the
bride is!
-
Dont choose short veil that covers nice detail on your dress. Tulle is sheer
(especially if its a half width veil) and the special features on the dress
will be more emphasized with a long veil.
-
Vertical embroidery will make a petite bride stand taller and round the edge
embroidery is more suitable for average to tall brides.
-
Long (cathedral length) veils are popular as they create a more romantic look.
-
Veils work best when the hair style has some height, hence the popularity of
hair-up for a bridal look.
-
A general rule of thumb is that if you have a simple dress then use an
elaborate veil. If you have an ornate dress, use a simple veil.
-
Don't be alarmed if your veil is wrinkled when you first open it. Most of the
wrinkles will drop out during the normal hanging process. To remove stubborn
creases, simply hold it taut and use the hot air of a hairdryer or steam of a
boiling kettle to smooth over the surface.
