Wedding Veil Trends: What's Hot Now and Will Be Trendy Tomorrow

The wedding veil is an attribute of the bride, thanks to which the look appears elegant, complete, and perfect, and most importantly, natural, since traditionally the head is covered with this attribute, regardless of whether the ceremony is planned in government offices, offsite, or a church wedding. Time goes by, fashion trends change, designers try to surprise even the most demanding customers with new and interesting items, but at the same time, there are things that remain indispensable. We will talk about current novelties and trends that remain relevant despite time and various factors in this overview.

Pearls Are Carrying Over from Last Year and Not Giving Up Ground

Pearls have become indispensable on veils in both soft white and warm ivory shades. This is one of the few natural materials that does not require cutting and complex processing. A grain of sand, getting into a shell in natural or artificial conditions, begins to grow, and depending on the conditions, pearls can be of different sizes and colors. There are more than 150 varieties of shades in total: from pink to deep black. Speaking about the reasons for the popularity of pearls in the bride's veil, we will highlight the following:

• add an effect of naturalness
• can act as a common element in the design of a dress
• emphasize inner radiance and tenderness
• a stylish solution that is optimally adapted to the classic, modern, and even vintage options
• can be intensively sewn in one part of the veil (for example, at the top, where it is fixed to the hairstyle), or evenly along its entire length.

Natural and artificial pearls for decoration are presented in a matte or mirror finish that reflects the sun's rays. This decor will look good with the bride's look in all seasons: in winter, it will accentually emphasize the "frostiness", and in the warm seasons, it will add brightness and lightness. It brings a touch of charm and even good magic to some looks.

3D Flowers Are at the Peak of Popularity

Volume on the veil is a visual way to add splendor and harmony to the entire wedding look. These design solutions most often take place on a medium-length veil, but they can also often be seen on long ones (more than 2 meters). Voluminous figures are quite light, weightless, and show themselves well both outdoors (including in strong winds) and indoors during a photo shoot or banquet. In addition to flowers, voluminous butterflies and bows will make the veil unique.

The main aspects that the bride takes into account when choosing 3D varieties of veil decoration are the following:

• the possibility of combining with other decorative materials (rhinestones, natural and cultivated pearls, satin inserts)
• the figures can be made from the same mesh or tulle as the main material, as well as presented in a different color and textile solution to create an ombre effect — stretching one color palette or creating a "glare effect" — one color with different shades for visual shimmering
• designers decorate the veil with figures of one and different sizes, stylishly combining them with each other to add femininity, lightness, and weightlessness.

The figures nicely complement the veil along the entire length of the edge, and especially over the entire area of the light, delicate fabric. These applications will add unique charm to the classic, modern, and vintage look of the bride. They will suit veils that can be worn in one or two tier option, covering the face for a certain period of the holiday, some ceremonies.

Lace Is Super Popular Again This Season

Thin and delicate patterns, professional work of the master, and a variety of lines and figures allow you to decorate the veil in different looks and styles. Designers are constantly using different forms of framing to emphasize the tenderness of the main fabric and make the veil complete, in particular:

• around the perimeter (an ideal solution for different fixation to the hairstyle, both with a comb and with hairpins or a wreath)
• in the upper part to emphasize the part of the look with the hairstyle
• only along the lower edge.

Lace always adds elegance, sophistication, and completeness to the look. It can act as a common accent identical element with the dress, or, conversely, take on a greater visual role in the veil itself. It also makes the veil heavier, emphasizes its length, and the clarity of lines. We offer to decorate the veil with lace in a similar color or that partially differs from the main mesh or tulle.

Elegant Veils Trimmed Along the Edge with a Satin Ribbon to Match the Dress

These options in the look of brides can be described with three trends:

• a special emphasis on the evenness, smoothness, and symmetry of the satin lines on the dress and veil
• a light touch of the atmosphere of the 50s-60s, especially in the USA
• restraint, laconicism.

What does a fabric ribbon give to such a style? First of all, it forms a clear circle, so the fabric lays down easily, creating light symmetrical waves on the shoulders and back, regardless of how it is fixed in the hair: on a comb, with a wreath, hairpins, or even additional framing of the hair on the head with the same ribbon.

As a rule, the width, color, and texture are similar to those used on the dress, for example, on the belt, or to decorate the lower edge of the hem. Light white shades with snowy coldness, as well as warm ones, close to ivory and beige, are still popular.

Colored Elements on the Veil Will Add a Spark to the Look

This rule is especially relevant if the wedding takes place in nature (in a park, forest, garden, etc.), and the bride's look is both modern and in the "rustic" or "vintage" style. What is in demand among happy brides? - First of all, plant motifs, including poppies, roses, and wildflowers. Designers use peculiar green, red, and blue shades for accurate professional embroidery of a flower with a bud and stem, grass, cereals, etc. These elements nicely decorate the veil not only from below when it is unfolded and straightened, but also over its entire area.

Believe us, with such a veil, your look will definitely cause admiration, because:

• it is a delicate and refined embroidery
• a "fresh" solution in wedding fashion, which has not yet become very popular and therefore is used by many brides
• it will emphasize perfect taste.

A veil with colored elements looks good with a white dress, an ivory dress, and even with similar symmetrical decoration options. Most often, these veils complement the look on the head with a wreath or headband, where natural and artificial plants are also involved.

Voluminous Veils Are a Must

Especially if your dress is minimalist: without unnecessary flashy decorations, fitted, made of one fabric, with a simple cut, as well as short fitted or lush. What role does the veil play in such a look? - It makes the overall concept aesthetic, complete, and adds lightness and grace. In photographs, the bride looks stylish, there is no feeling of "flatness." These types of veils are well combined with long and short hair, and are usually fixed on the back of the head with a comb or hairpins. Choose from even or asymmetrical options.

Designers create volume using the following methods:

• using several layers of tulle or mesh at the same or different lengths
• using appliques, 3D elements: flowers, butterflies
• combining several layers along the entire length.

Traditionally, they choose a medium-length veil, or even a short one (to the shoulder blades), a birdcage veil with a mesh, lace, or tulle that nicely decorates and at the same time covers the face.

Classics Never Lose Popularity

Especially when it comes to a classic straight-cut veil or with several tiers. Choose white, cream, or a soft ivory shade. The fabric can be simple or with a slight sheen (shimmering thread). Mesh options are the most popular, which differ from each other in the following aspects:

• link shape (circle, oval, square, rectangular with cut edges)
• size of each element
• decorated edge with fabric, hem, lace, or "free".

The more complex the dress is in design, the simpler the veil should be, so as not to create an overly saturated look. However, with a lush dress, embroidered with beads/stones/pearls, a classic straight veil will create a perfectly balanced look.

The main thing is to choose the right length. The veil should be a little longer than the train. As a rule, it is fixed on a bun at the back of the head with a comb, and can be decorated with a crown or headband. In such a classic veil, a second layer will look good for covering the face before the first kiss as husband and wife. Designers use both dense fabrics that reliably hold the volume and soft ones that can fall and easily lie on the shoulders and back.

Wedding veil trends sometimes change, interesting elements appear that brides immediately appreciate highly and want to adapt to their looks. However, along with them, classic solutions that have managed to gain popularity and sympathy even among the most demanding customers for a long time are in demand: decorating with pearls, a smooth satin ribbon, and a long veil made of euro mesh or other material.

A solemn attribute for a registry office or a wedding is made of high-quality materials, and the best lace, stones, and beads are used for decoration. Be beautiful on your important day and catch admiring glances from both the groom and all the invited guests. And most importantly, truly like yourself in such a romantic and important stage of life.
