Height and Veil Length help

Lauren, on May 6, 2019 at 12:05 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 8

I am 5ft 1in and debating between a 7.5ft veil and a 9ft veil. My hair will be in a lose bun and my dress does have a train. I am leaning toward the 9ft to be more dramatic especially since my fiance is 6ft 6in. Anyone my height go with a long veil? if so please post photos.

    Hey Lauren! Your dress is absolutely stunning! What is the neckline like?

    If you want a dramatic look, then go for the longer veil. I think it would look amazing with the back of your dress. I searched on Pinterest for some examples of long veils to see what it might look like.

    I'm 5'3" and wore 3.5" heels. My dress had a cathedral length train, and I had a cathedral length (110" / 9') veil. One thing to think about is that you can always get 9' and then convert to 7'

    Here's a pic from my fitting:

    Unfortunately my sister/ MOH forgot to straighten my veil at the ceremony and my photographer didn't get great pictures (crying) but here's some from the actual day:

    If it helps I purchased my veil from here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/475868426/1-tier-cathedral-wedding-veil-with-lace?ref=related-2

    I added custom lace, pearls and sequins.

    I would keep in mind that with a long veil like that there will have to be a lot of work for your maid of honor the last wedding I attended the bride had a very long train and her maid of honor had to fix it every 10 minutes and I’m sure her maid of honor got in some of the shots trying to fix it.
