Where to begin with wedding veil types...

Veil lengths are pretty straightforward, since their names are usually taken from where they fall on the body (elbow-length, fingertip-length, etc.). Their length often corresponds with their “wow” factor as well; so, the longer the veil, the more dramatic and formal the look. (Here is a really informative article on types of bridal veils, for even more background information.) Veil lengths are generally named as follows (from shortest to longest--click on the name to read more about it in our Wedding Encyclopedia): Fingertip-length veils are the most popular length, most likely because of their versatility. Not too long and not too short, these beauties provide just the right amount of drama, and can be worn high or low on the head.

Hats for the wedding: not just for royalty!

With the rise in popularity of vintage fashion, and the still heavy-handed influence of Will and Kate’s royal wedding, wedding hats are back with a vengeance! (Read more information about bridal hats and their history here.) Styles range from conservative to quirky, and we love every last one. A wedding hat would be perfect for the daring, vintage-inspired bride who wants to have a little fun with her look.
