Why Long and Luxurious Wedding Veils Are So Popular

A Brief History of Long Veils

Long veils have been a symbol of bridal elegance for centuries. Their popularity dates back to ancient times, where they were used to signify modesty and purity. In medieval Europe, long veils became a staple for noblewomen, symbolising status and wealth. By the Victorian era, long veils were widely embraced, with Queen Victoria herself wearing a dramatic long veil for her wedding in 1840. This royal endorsement cemented their place in bridal fashion history. For a deeper dive into how wedding veils have evolved over the years, explore our history of wedding veils.

Celebrity Influence

When it comes to setting trends, celebrities often lead the way. Many modern celebrity brides have opted for long, flowing veils, showcasing their ability to enhance the drama and grandeur of a wedding day look. From Meghan Markle’s stunning cathedral-length veil to Priyanka Chopra’s jaw-dropping 75-foot creation, these veils make a statement—and yours can too.

Choosing the Right Length

The most popular long veil length used to be chapel length, but in recent years, cathedral length veils have taken centre stage. We’ve also seen an increase in demand for ultra-long veils measuring 4, 5, or even 6 metres. These extraordinary veils are perfect for brides who want to make an unforgettable impression.

Veil Personalisation: The Perfect Touch

Personalised embroidery works beautifully on long and luxurious wedding veils, as the wording sits on the floor after the train, making it clearly visible and easy to read. In contrast, personalised text on a short veil can blend into the dress and get lost in gentle folds. Whether you’re adding your wedding date, initials, or a heartfelt message, a long veil provides the perfect canvas for customisation.

How to Safely Manoeuvre in a Long Veil

Wearing a long veil doesn’t have to be daunting. Here are a few tips to help you move gracefully on your big day:

  • Practice walking in your veil: Familiarise yourself with the feel of the veil before the wedding.
  • Avoid sharp objects: Be mindful of corners, edges, and decorations that could snag the fabric.
  • Enlist a helper: A bridesmaid or wedding planner can help arrange the veil as you walk or transition between locations.
  • Drape it over you arm: When greeting and hugging your guests after the ceremony, you can drape the length of your veil over your arm to avoid it getting trodden on during the reception.

Capturing Stunning Photos

A long veil isn’t just an accessory; it’s a prop for your photographer to create breathtaking images. Whether it’s catching the wind for a romantic billowing effect, framing the couple during a kiss, or cascading elegantly over the floor, a long veil adds magic to every shot.

Consider the Downsides

While long veils are stunning, they do come with a few potential drawbacks. Heavily embellished veils with lots of lace or beading can be heavier, which may make it harder for your hairstylist to secure. However, lighter options are available, and a skilled stylist can usually suggest tips on how to secure the veil, helping you find a balance between beauty and practicality.
