Veil Length

Like gowns, veils come in a variety of lengths. Currently, most veils range from elbow-length to cathedral.

Things to Consider When Selecting Veil Length

Train Length- When choosing a veil length, consider the length of the train on your gown. If you have a long train, we recommend choosing a veil that is slightly longer–this adds dramatic effect as you walk down the aisle. If you have a train with ornate detail, consider a shorter veil so it doesn’t get covered up. The ideal veil compliments your gown, so choose the features that you want to highlight and make sure that your veil doesn’t hide them.

Size of Venue- Another thing to consider when choosing a length for your veil is your venue. If you’re getting married in a chapel, it’s easy–go with a Chapel-length veil. But not all venues make it that simple. In general, your veil should reflect the size of your venue. If you’re getting married in an intimate setting, your veil should be shorter than if you were getting married in a grand cathedral.

Popular Lengths

1. Elbow- Approximately 30” in length and hangs just around the elbow. This length is flirty making it perfect for a more casual ceremony and venue.
