Top 5 Tips

Your wedding veil is one of the most important accessories you will choose as it will be "front and center" in all your pictures. But with so many choices, how do you choose a Wedding Veil?

Here are my top 5 things to consider:

1. Type of Dress We all know the wedding dress is the most important decision of them all (second only to the groom). So use your dress as inspiration for the veil. Make sure your veil complements the gown but does not compete with it.
   
   
2. Location of Wedding The location of the wedding often determines the style of dress you have. This is a given, but it can also determine the type of veil you choose. For example, a beach wedding might call for a shorter wedding veil that would catch and flow gently in the wind. Instead of a long veil that would catch in the wind and smack your guests as you walk by. But a cathedral wedding opens the opportunity for a long train to cascade the aisle behind you. Such as Embellish's lovely bride Lindsay's:
   
   
3. Hairstyle How you wear your hair will determine where the veil can be attached, how the veil will fall down your back/across your face, or if there's even room for more embellishment, such as a fascinator. So we recommend deciding your hairstyle before choosing your accessories.
   
   
4. Photographic Memories Think of the type of memories you want to capture. How about fun and flirty? Or elegant and Chic? Choose a veil that emphasizes the characteristics of the memories you want to capture and keep.
   
   
5. Personal Style Your wedding day is not the time to experiment, it is an opportunity to "dress up." Essentially, take your own style (preppy? hippie? fashionable?) and fancy it up a notch. But only kick it up enough so that you still feel comfortable but breathtaking (in a good way).

Use these tips and you will adore your wedding look for years to come. Happy Shopping!
