HELP...which veil fullness do I choose??

I often receive questions about which veil fullness to choose so I thought I would create a post for all those brides who would love to see the difference in fullness on a mid size comb more clearly laid out :) This however does not include information about which length of veil to choose. That will be for another post...



54" Fullness/Sheer Fullness veil: This isnt the greatest pic of the 54" width since it doesnt show the back fully but it should help a bit. This is the most common fullness used with the shortest veils like the elbow and shoulder length veils. It can be used on the longer length veils if you are looking for something really simple and sheer. This will show off any beautiful detail you have on your dress that you dont want to hide with a fuller veil. This width does not wrap the arms. It just hangs in the back :)






72" Fullness/Medium Fullness Veil: This is the most common fullness in fingertip and ballet length veils. This is also a beautiful fullness for a floor length or even a chapel or cathedral length if you don't want too much veil but want the length. This veil gently wraps the shoulders if needed but not too much. Very common fullness! You will also want to consider the width of your train when choosing fullness. You can measure at the widest point from left to right or call the bridal salon you ordered if you do not have your dress yet.







108" Fullness/Fullest Veil: This veil length is great for the longer lengths as it is more proportionate in width and length. The veil is pictured on a larger 4" comb but I currently use a 3" comb instead as I think it is easier for the bride to work with. This veil will wrap the shoulders especially the shorter veil length you go. This fullness is also a great choice if you are wanting a shorter and more poufy style veil. You will also want to consider the width of your train when choosing fullness. You can measure at the widest point from left to right or call the bridal salon you ordered if you do not have your dress yet.
