Expect the unexpected
High impact wedding veils are all about drama, grandeur and an undeniable X factor. They captivate and delight without taking away from the beauty of your wedding dress. It’s not always about length that achieves the look. Stunning fine details, a unique silhouette, combination or length might be just the thing to add an element of unexpected interest.
1. Length
It’s undeniable how impactful an impressive length can be on a wedding veil. Cathedral length veils that sweep the floor or royal length veils that extend well beyond the train of your gown can instantly create a sense of grandeur and intrigue. The stunning visual effect of the veil’s flow and movement as you walk down the aisle will turn heads.

2. Embellishments
A minimalist silhouette or the simplest veil can transform with intricate embellishments and details that catch the light and create a mesmerising effect. These veils showcase the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into each and every design. Such details not only add texture and detail but also lend a sense of uniqueness to your ensemble.

3. Bold edging
Edging and trims play a crucial role in defining the look of a high impact wedding veil. A bold lace trim, an ornate beaded border or a dramatic scalloped edge can add an extra layer of opulence to the veil. Whether it’s a mantilla-style lace veil or an all-over design, intricate patterns and textures create a captivating focal point and will beautifully frame you.

4. Daring colours
Coloured veils – like shades of pink, champagne, blush or even blue – can create a stunning contrast to your gown. Adding a pop of personality to your look can make a bold statement whilst still feeling elegant, feminine and refined.

5. Dramatic cape veils
If you want to push the envelope a little further, consider an accessory that has a unique take on the traditional veil. A cape veil is a high impact style that cascades elegantly behind you, creating a sense of majesty and regal beauty. They are especially suited for outdoor weddings, where the cape veil can flow with the breeze, adding a touch of ethereal magic.

6. Combining styles
You don’t need to limit yourself to a single style. Combine a simple veil with a dramatic headpiece or choose a simpler veil where the embellishment is focused mainly on the top half to frame your dress. The key is to find a balance between adding an element of interest without taking away from your dress and you.
