Maybe you’ve always pictured yourself taking those moment defining steps down the aisle with veiled eyes, “Carrie Bradshaw” style, something show-stopping, absolutely jaw-dropping to disguise your nerves… As if to appear calm, cool and collected. I mean, you’re only committing your heart to one person for the very rest of your life, no “Big” deal. Or maybe you want to cut back on the drama, let your veil follow close behind and let your dress do the talking. After all, you did just complete the journey to finding the absolute perfect dress. You know that one that made you go, “…Wow, I’m getting married,” and you want your veil to complement that, not steal the show.

Today, we share with you expert advice from our very own Jasmine style-istas, on how to find the perfect veil to accompany your dream gown! Accessorizing can be just as fun as finding the gown itself and we have the expert tips and tricks to help you along the way!

1. Before you decide on a veil, consider how you plan on wearing your hair on your big day­- the style you choose may affect your final veil decision.

2. Pick the perfect fabric. You can’t go wrong with tulle, but there are other materials to consider, such as lace, silk, and satin! There are also a variety of styles to choose from, so most importantly, have fun!

3. Try to create a balance—while the embellishments on the veil don’t have to match your dress exactly, they should complement it in color, size, and style.

4. Don’t hide your dress under too many layers of tulle—instead, opt for a super sheet veil with just one or two layers to let those gorgeous details shine through!
