There are many types of veils and headpieces for a woman to wear on her special day. This article will cover the different variations of what you might want to purchase.

Blusher Veil

The blusher veil tends to be a short veil worn over the bride’s face. It is generally 24 or so inches long and will fall just below the collarbone depending on the hairstyle the bride has decided to get. Many young first time brides like this style. In some cases a father will lift a blusher veil to give is daughter away.

Fly-Away Veil

The fly-away veil is a bit less formal, and hits right around the shoulders of the bride. This can often be combined with a more formal gown that has details which would accentuate the back of her dress.

Birdcage Veil

The birdcage veil is chosen many times by older women and it extends over the chin. It is usually made of Russian veiling materials.

Fingertip Veil

The fingertip style veil is probably the most common and is considered to be the most attractive on a woman for its extension to the brides fingertips.

As you can see there are many styles to choose from. It comes down to a matter of choosing the one you feel most comfortable with, and one that will mix well with your wedding gown.
