Choosing your beach wedding veil
Choosing whether or not to wear a beach wedding veil is a very personal thing. A veil is a traditional wedding accessory dating back to ancient Greece and many brides will just not feel like a bride without one! If you are one of these brides, then the helpful information and links below will be just what you need:
1. Firstly as with all wedding accessories, choose your dress before you choose your veil. This will ensure that the colour you select will match your dress and will also be able to pick up on certain details of your dress like embroidery, lace, beadwork etc. Also remember that your veil should complement your dress and not overpower it.
2. Secondly you should decide on how you would like to wear your hair on your wedding day. There are many varieties of veils that can be worn on its own on a comb, with a tiara, headband or bridal halo and some styles of veil that can be worn with very short hair.
3. If possible choose a beach wedding veil that is detachable from the headpiece. You will most probably want to remove it sometime during the reception when you are mingling and dancing without ruining your hairstyle.
4. If you cannot match your veil colour exactly to the colour of your dress then go for a shade lighter, never darker.
5. The length of your veil is another consideration. For informal weddings choose a short veil that is on or above shoulder length. If your beach wedding will lean towards semi formal then you can go for an elbow length veil or even longer.
