Q. Does My Veil Need to Match My Wedding Dress?
Personal style will always determine the styling of your wedding ensemble. Most brides who wear veils match their veils to the wedding dress or theme.
When choosing your wedding gown, keep in mind that there are no rules. You can style the veil as you please, but it must match. Ask the shop for veils if you cannot find one that matches the gown. They may be able to make one for you using the same fabric.
Q. How Should I Store My Veil When Not in Use?
Keep your veil with your dress in a garment bag. You’ll want it to be hung on a rack or laid out flat so that it doesn’t wrinkle or cause damage to the dress or veil. To be safe, it’s best to store your wedding ensemble in an air-conditioned room. We suggest that if you have to fold your gown to save space, wrap it in tissue paper. This will prevent creases from forming.
Q. How Can I Remove the Wrinkles From My Veil?
You have two options. First, you can have your wedding dress or veil professionally steamed by the manufacturer. It’s easy to steam a veil and shouldn’t be expensive if you are already at the same brand where you bought your dress.
You can also buy a hand-held steamer to steam your veil.
Pros and Cons of Wearing A Veil At Your Wedding
Wearing a veil has its pros and cons:
- There are many ways you can use a veil to create striking images in your wedding album. You could have someone hold it outstretched and then drop it, or run out of the frame and create an image of a veil falling behind you.
- Veils are a great way to transform your appearance and add drama and beauty.
Cons of wearing a veil at a wedding:
- A floor-length veil will quickly get dirty and damaged if you are having an outdoor wedding.
- Another accessory that you will need to decide and purchase.
- If it is windy, the wedding can be a little overshadowed.
How Much Should You Spend for a Wedding Veil?
There’s no easy answer to the question of what a veil *should* cost, but the average wedding veil costs between $200-$400. However, the amount you pay will depend on you, your aesthetic choices, and how much you’ve allocated from your budget to a wedding veil.
