Your face shape is something that truly makes you individual and beautiful. But if you’ve ever tried to shop for glasses, it’s often tricky to know what’s best for you! And guess what? The same goes for veils…
The good news, though, is that you can’t really go wrong – yay! Your veil is simply there to accentuate your facial features and a trip to a friendly, knowledgable bridal boutique will give you access to all the advice you need to get to that stage.
Like to get ahead of the game? Just pick your face type and read on!
Round
- Length: Go long! A longer veil will help to lengthen any rounded features. For bonus points, try to create angles against your lovely soft face.
- Style: A fingertip or waist-length veil could really accentuate your features and help to create the illusion of angles. Want to enhance the look further? Incorporate a blusher veil, too.
Square
- Length: Add length to soften striking angular faces – think circular veils or cascading veils.
- Style: Look into a flyaway veil or a shoulder-length veil. They’ll add loads layers and plenty of volume.
Oval
- Length: Whilst oval face shapes are typically well-balanced (meaning you have the freedom to experiment with different veil lengths – great news!) it’s worth trying to imitate the ovular shape with your veil. In other words, avoid too much volume at the upper part of your head.
- Style: A bold birdcage would be truly stunning! Going more formal? Try a floor-length, lace-embellished veil for a stylish bridal look.
