Veil length with Ballgown dress

Reagan, on August 10, 2020 at 3:09 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 11
Hi all, looking for some opinions. I am trying to figure out what sort of veil I want to have and am so confused with all the different lengths. I am going to be wearing a ballgown style dress with my hair half up/half down. My hair reaches to below my waist so my thoughts are that it definitely needs to be past my hair. What style veil are you wearing with your ballgown look?

    I think the most important factor is the length of your train, not the style of the skirt.

    I'm wearing a ballgown and a Cathedral veil. I think that would look nice with what you're describing, but it's worth going and trying some on

    I am wearing a tulle ball gown and will be wearing a waltz length veil. It goes just past my knees. I loved the length with out it being crazy long like a cathedral length veil.

    It all depends on what looks best to you. With a ball gown and no train, I’d probably do a cathedral veil with some embellishment on it. But you could also do a fingertip veil, or waltz length. If you love how it looks, that’s all that matters.

    Veil length with Ballgown dress 2
    I’m wearing a tulle a line which is similar to a ball gown. I got the matching Hayley paige veil and i think it’s the perfect length!

    I wore a ballgown with an embellished, cathedral length veil. But my dress was so voluminous that the veil looked like it was chapel length!

    I have a ballgown and am going with a chapel length veil which is around 90-100 inches. It goes a little bit past the bottom of my dress!

    I had always dreamed of a cathedral length veil to go with my ballgown. The problem was the long veil took away from the details on the back and bottom of my dress. The designer recommended elbow/ fingertip length so that the lace details didn’t get covered. Any length will look good, but it I think it all depends on the details of your dress.
