Blusher: A shoulder-length layer of the veil that is worn over the face. Typically combined with other lengths and used for both formal and semi-formal weddings.
Elbow Length: Single layer elbow veils are usually 30" in length. 2~tier veils are usually 25" x 30". The top (shorter) layer is the blusher. This is one of the most popular veil length!
Fingertip Length: Single layer elbow veils are usually 36" in length. 2-tier veils are usually 30" x 36". The top (shorter) layer is the blusher.
Chapel Length: Chapel length veils usually extend to the floor behind the dress. They are used in a formal wedding. Brides can also combine veils - a single layer elbow with a chapel length veil and use the elbow length as the blusher.
Cathedral Length: Cathedral length veils are typically a single layer 120" in length and extend 1-3 feet beyond the train of the dress, depending on the dress style. They are used for formal weddings. Cathedral length veils look best when worn with a cathedral or semi-cathedral length gown.
Brides can also combine veils - a single layer elbow with a cathedral length veil and use the elbow length as the blusher.

How To Choose Your Wedding Veil
Things to Consider When Selecting Your Veil Length:
• Your height
• The Length of your Dress
• Detailing of Your Dress

1. If you are under 5'4" you should select an elbow length veil (30" long). If you are over 5'7" you should
select a fingertip veil (36" long). If you are in between those heights, then you can probably go with either length -- it just depends on whether you prefer a short length (elbow) or longer length (fingertip).
2. You should consider where on your head you will be wearing your veil. If you are wearing it towards the back of your head, the veil will be longer.
3. You should consider the detailing (on the back of your dress) and the overall design of your dress. Your veil length should be cut just above or below any focal point on your dress. Don't choose a veil length that ends right where your bodice begins because it cuts you in half visually (something just above or just below). If you have a sharply defined waistline, don't choose a veil t hat ends right at the waistline something slightly above or below it.

Q: What is the difference between white, diamond white, and ivory colored veils?
A: Here is the description of our colors:
WHITE: This a bright (stark) white color. If your gown is called "white", this is the veil color you need to select.
