Ho To Incorporate Detailed Bridal Veils Into Your Look

By Leslie Ball


Brides choose a number of different ways to shine on their big day. For some brides, the gown is the real show piece. However, for others, having an over-the-top gown is not always the case. These brides may prefer to use other items and accessories to enhance the way they look. This could be jewelry or an amazing pair of shoes. However, detailed bridal veils are really a great choice for adding a little something special to one's bridal attire. The choices are endless.

A veil that has a lot of detail on it can be short; don't be fooled into thinking that only long veils can be heavily embellished. After all, a very long veil with a lot of embellishment is also going to cost a lot more. However, if you want to feel like royalty on your big day, then by all means go ahead and go for it!

Lace is a wonderful detail that can really bring a veil to life. It is a good choice when the bride's dress does not have a lot of embellishment, particularly lace. Lace can be very intricate and works well by itself as an edging for a veil. Where the bride may be getting a custom gown, a custom veil to match the dress is a wonderful idea and the same lace can be used.

On a veil, lace can be further embellished through the use of beading and iridescent sequins. Strategically placed embellishment will add a sparkle to the veil and the bride's overall look. Heavier embellishment should either be placed at the top of a shorter veil, where it can be secured properly using pins, or at the bottom of the veil should it be touching or resting on the floor. That way the weight of the detail can be supported and it will keep the veil from twisting as the bride walks.

Sparkle can be added using flat back crystals and rhinestones. These can be scattered all over the veil body randomly to ensure that the light will catch it no matter what angle. Brides should consider using various sizes of crystal for scattering.

A scattered crystal formation could be more clustered towards the top of the veil and then filter out. They can also be clustered closer to the hem of the veil, depending on how you want to look. You should always balance where embellishment rests in line with where you may be wearing jewelry or where embellishment may be on your gown.

Pearls are a classic and elegant way to add detail to any bridal look. They can be sewn into lace detail, or used by themselves. Half dome pearls are great for sticking onto a veil's surface and, like flat back crystals, they can decorate the veil in any formation.

Mixing crystals, pearls and other beads and sequins will make for the ultimate veil in terms of detail and wow factor. You can go the extra mile if you find that your look is otherwise plain. However, if you have a lot of detail throughout your bridal look, then you are also allowed to go all out on your veil in order to match the ensemble.
