Veil – a beautiful accessory, often used to complete the bride’s look. However choosing the perfect veil can be as tricky as choosing the perfect wedding dress, especially given the range of options there are.
So in order to have a better idea about each one of the veil types, we prepared a detailed guide for you.
1. Blusher – shortened 1-layered or 2-layered veil made of tulle or mesh, can cover either only the upper part of the face or the entire face. You can throw the veil back after the ceremony. It is also very popular among brides looking for a retro look. It is often combined with various other head accessories.
2. Puffy – a traditional round veil made of tulle, organza and other materials that hold the shape well. It can be multi-layered and is often fastened closer to the face to create a special volume. Perfect for combining with diadems.
