One of the most iconic elements of a bridal look is the veil, but in modern weddings, some of our brides question whether they should wear one or skip it altogether.
If you're trying to decide, here are some points for you to consider...
The Photo Opportunities
A veil can add a magical touch to your wedding photos.
Whether it’s a soft breeze catching the fabric or a dramatic veil toss shot, it adds movement, elegance, and romance to your pictures.
The layers and length can create a dreamy effect, perfect for capturing those intimate, cinematic moments. If you're going for timeless or ethereal photos, a veil is a definite plus!
Standing Out in the Crowd
My very own favourite quote -
'Your wedding day is all about you!'
A veil can help ensure you stand out, especially during the ceremony.
As you walk down the aisle, a veil can add that “wow” factor, elevating your overall bridal look.
It gives you an unmistakable presence, setting you apart from the guests and bridal party, making you feel like the star of the day.
It’s a Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity
When else do you get the chance to wear a veil? For many brides, it's a symbol of tradition and romance. There aren’t many occasions in life where a veil would be appropriate, so why not take advantage of this rare opportunity and embrace the full bridal experience?
A Modern, Minimalist Look
If you’re going for a modern or minimalist aesthetic, a veil might feel out of place. Some of our brides prefer a clean, understated look, and a veil can sometimes feel like too much.
If your style leans more towards simplicity, skipping the veil could help maintain that chilled vibe.
Consider a Short Veil Instead
Long veils can sometimes be tricky to manage. So why not have a shorter veil instead?
It offers all the romance, beauty, tradition and photo opportunities without the fuss!
The perfect blend of style and practicality!
Non-Traditional Style
Some brides simply don’t feel a connection to the traditional aspects of weddings, and that’s okay! If a veil doesn’t align with your personal style or your vision for your wedding day, there’s no rule saying you must wear one.
If you love the romance and tradition it brings, embrace it!
If you’d rather keep things modern and simple, go without.
Either way, you’ll be stunning on your special day.
Its a mindset we encourage here at The Ivory Lounge -
"In the end, deciding what to wear is all about what makes you feel most
beautiful and confident."
