The wedding veil and headpiece more than any single element sets the bride apart, giving her stature, importance and prestige, adding special beauty and a touch of mystery.

The bridal veil and headpiece should complete your look, and not draw everyone's attention from your face and gown.

If you are wearing a gown that has an elaborate embellishment, train or corset back, you may want to select a veil that has little or no embellishments this will allow the detail of the back of your gown to be seen.
