Happy Labor Day weekend! To celebrate another glorious Friday and a three day weekend, we decided to share with you a sneak peek of a gorgeous wedding we recently helped with.

Their wedding day details included gorgeous flowers, opulent red and gold details, a beautiful couple and a Spanish/ European theme to tie everything together!

Veil Love

Your veil choice is a very personal extension of your style.
Here is a primmer for the bride:

The Flyaway Length is usually made from several, short flirty layers.  This is a good choice if you would like to show off the back of your gown and your style is more fun and modern.

This flyaway veil from annlesliedesigns.com shows the multi, wispy layers.

The Blusher Length is a good choice if you want a little bit of a tradional twist for your wedding ensemble.  The blusher (a shorter piece of veil) comes down to cover the front portion of your face to about eye or chin length.

This blusher from daisy-days.com has scattered swarovski crystals.

Elbow Length is exactly what it's name implies, the veil comes to your elbow - about 30" long.  You may choose this veil if your gown has no train.

This veil from bridalxpress.com has two layers attached.  One layer could be used as a blusher veil.

Fingertip Length veils usually fall to the tips of your fingers.

These veils usually have two layers and are often bordered by a rolled edge, ribbon, seed pearls or crystals.  weddingaccessories.net


Cathedral Length veils are floor length.  They are used for formal weddings and usually very ornate with lace, crystals, initials, or other ornamentation.
