Veil for Summer Weddings

Summer weddings are very popular, and usually have gorgeous weather - but that lovely sun comes with lots of heat as well. No bride wants to look flushed in their wedding photos or have to fan themselves to stay cool during the reception. While the location of your wedding and your dress may be effected by the warm weather, you may be surprised how well the right veil can help your flawless wedding look remain perfect.

Shoulder Length
If you are a summer bride sporting a strapless gown, a short wedding veil can perfectly accompany your ensemble. Most short veils are elegantly cut above or around the shoulders. This design can not only provide you with a classic look that accentuates your shoulders and chest area, but the short veil can actually help to decrease perspiration created from lack of air flow.








Fingertip

Fingertip wedding veils are amongst the most popular veils for summer brides. The fingertip veil consists of layers of fabric that strategically extend down to where your fingertips end, drawing the eye to your hip area. Fingertip veils not only help to accentuate your body by providing you with the illusion of a longer, dove-like neck, but they can also coordinate with almost any type of wedding gown.


Elbow Length
Similar to the fingertip veil is the elbow length, another popular summer selection. The beautiful layers of fabric that create this veil are slightly pulled in order to highlight the contours of your face. While this veil works to accentuate your body in all the right placess, it only extends down to your elbows demanding attention at your waist. Many brides who plan on wearing their hair in a goregous up-do will choose the elbow length to finish off their look.

Cathedral Veil

For the summer bride that wants to wear a longer and more traditional veil, the Cathedral extends beautifully to the floor. Cathedral wedding veils are meant to be worn with floor length weddign gowns. Most experts believe that this veil looks the best when paired with a dress that dons a train as well. Cathedral wedding veils can either be solely behind your back, or can be combined with a blusher veil for an extremely traditional look. A blusher veil usually hides the bride's face during the wedding ceremony, and is removed at the end right before the reception. Cathedral veils are known for highlighting your beautiful dress.

Trimmed

When creating or purchasing a wedding veil for a summer wedding, it is essential to consider the trim of your veil. In past years, wedding veils and trims have been various shades of white and off-white. However, newer trends have allowed for an explosion of colours to be subtly incorporated into your veil. Adding colour to the trim can work extremely well for any summer wedding dress, and can coordinate with your overall wedding colour scheme. With the new trend of colour-accented gowns, your entire ensemble can be beautifully accented in your favourite colour.

Blusher

Like the look of a blusher? Then just wear that alone! This allows you to still maintain the classic look, without doning the whole veil as well. Just a hint of elegance and tradition in a new stylish way.
