A: We're so glad you asked!
First of all, congrats on finding your dream bridal gown; that is truly one of
your biggest and most exciting wedding planning milestones!
Now you'll want to focus on
your veil and/or hair accessories. Plan ahead; it generally takes eight weeks
for a veil order to arrive. The heavier detail or more intricate the edge of
the veil is, the more prominence your veil takes in your overall wedding day
look. So if your gown is more simple, you can go with a more elaborate veil,
but if your gown has lots of detail you want to take your guests' breath away,
select a more modest veil.
Veils come in many colors,
from several varying shades of white (white, diamond white, ivory, sand, etc.)
to hues matching the variety of colored bridal gowns on the market now (pink
and blue, to name a few). Veil prices range from around $175 for a simple,
one-layer, cut-edge veil up to around $2,000 for something that featured lace,
sparkle or intricate designs.
Chances are that you will
want to remove your veil once your reception really gets going as it's not easy
dancing while wearing one. We always recommend a little something for your hair
for when the veil comes off so you still look special.
Headband styles are really
in right now and they can easily be worn again. You can wear them for New
Year's Eve or some other party, as a guest to another wedding or any other time
you need to dress up a little. We would not recommend real flowers in your hair
because they can wilt or discolor, not to mention what allergies they may stir
up in anyone you come into contact with on your wedding day.
Some brides question
whether or not they really need a veil. We always strongly recommend one and
here's why:
• Veils make for fantastically beautiful photos• Veils help distinguish in photos that you are, in fact, a bride
• Veils make the bridal magic!
We actually wrote an extensive post explaining why you as a bride should wear a veil. You should read it!
Whether you found your
dream dress at one of our salons or somewhere else, we would love to help you
find the veil and hair accessories to perfectly complement your bridal gown.
