Guess who didn't know veil width was even a thing?

Amy, on March 29, 2018 at 7:46 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 6

I've struggled more with the veil than the dress and shoes combined. I finally decided it was hard to go wrong with a fingertip, pencil edge, fingertip length veil (with several back and forth emails with Blanca veil and after getting a swatch sample to be safe...) and then... she asked if I wanted a 108" veil.


Um, what?!


Cue waaaaay more research. It looks like 72 is standard and 108 gives more volume where it's scrunched into the comb/clip . I have an A-line dress that I'll very likely be getting max volume out of via a hoop skirt so I'm thinking 108" would be good to kind of match it in size, right? The veil would be simple so I'd get good effect form the volume?

Can anyone who has made this decision let me know if I'm on the right track and what you chose for width and why? How is this even a thing I haven't stumbled on?!

    I would go with the wider 108" wide veil to help balance out the fullness of your skirt.

    This is new to me and I thought I knew everything wedding by this point! I wasn't even going to get a veil and then I saw a sample and that I could custom order it in pink and was sold. Now I'm curious if mine was 108" or not. Good luck.

    Thanks! That's what I was leaning towards but I always feel better hearing from others because I'm absolutely not a visual person.

    Same! If I had been ordering directly I wouldn't have noticed width was a thing that varied!

    Hmm, I guess we do learn something new everyday! I am still torn whether or not to have a veil or not, but now I will keep this in mind while I shop!
