Every bridal accessory has impact, but when it comes to top-of-the-aisle gasps and first-look tears, a cathedral veil is number one on the list. We’re not saying all veils aren’t fabulous – because, really, the way a veil floats around a bride’s face is nothing short of spectacular – but if it’s jaw-dropping drama you want, go with a cathedral veil.
Add a little extra oomph to the gorgeous, sheer framing effect that a long veil offers by choosing one embellished to complement your gown. Lace edging, embroidery, beading, Swarovski crystals and monogramming all look amazing, and there’s nothing wrong with incorporating more than one finish. After all, if there ever was an occasion that called for an extra helping of fabulous, it’s your wedding day!
