Not all veils used by brides are so long that they touch the floor. A stunning wedding veil can be short, reaching as far as the neck or fingertip level. This kind is much easier to wear and move around in, and can be worn at weddings that don’t need to be overly formal.
Practicality is more or less a thing in modern weddings, seeing that more couples want to save while still looking elegant on their big day. Fortunately, we at Madame Tulle understand such a need. That’s why we offer a broad range of long and short wedding veils, each handcrafted to be the perfect finishing touch to a bride’s unique taste and complement the wedding gown of her choice.
There’s no specified short veil length set in stone because brides vary by height. However, most wedding industry experts consider short veils to reach up to their fingertips, meaning the widely accepted maximum length is 42 inches (107 cm). That said, some mid-length and long veils can be considered short relative to the bride’s height.
While options for short veils are fewer than long ones, they’re by no means less elegant. With the right outfit and makeup, pulling off an attention-grabbing look with these veils is possible. Below are some kinds of short veils to choose from.
At between four and nine inches (10 and 23 cm) long, birdcage or bandeau veils are one of, if not, the shortest in today’s market. Typically made with lace or net, they’re only large enough to cover half or the entirety of the bride’s face.
These veils reach up to the shoulders, between 20 and 22 inches (51 and 56 cm). They create a floating effect that sways freely amid its uncomplicated appearance.
As its name suggests, this kind of short bridal veil extends up to elbow level, between 25 and 32 inches (64 and 81 cm). Experts often advise brides to go for this veil if they don’t fancy the idea of wearing a bolero, as its coverage reaches the top of the wedding dress.
At around 30 inches (76 cm) in length, blusher veils are among the most popular short wedding veils out there. Also, as the term implies, they feature a blusher that covers the bride’s face and can be lifted up or parted when the time to kiss comes.
This type also needs no in-depth explanation. It’s designed to reach down to the hips, which can be 36 inches (91 cm).
At between 40 and 45 inches (101 and 115 cm), the fingertip veil is the longest of the short veils. The huge surface area allows decorations and ornaments to be added for a more elegant look.
Short veils, often secured with a simple hair comb or pin, can be a perfect finishing touch to your bridal look, complementing your dress without overwhelming it. They can flatter various bridal hairstyles, offering a modern and versatile look for your wedding day. Compared to regular-priced longer veils, short veils can offer a budget-friendly option for brides seeking a sophisticated yet affordable accessory.
