Veils veils veils. Here are the most common lengths of veils starting from the longest first.

Cathedral Length – Used for formal weddings where the veil extends to the floor at least 6 inches past the train. One word: Dramatic. Which really explains why most celebrities with grande weddings opt for cathedral style veils. Hence the many examples below:

Fingertip Length – This is one veil that can be paired with any length of gown. It is usually about 36 inches long and falls just at the fingertips of the bride. It is suitable for formal or semi-formal weddings.

Alyson Hannigan


Carolyn Bessette

Elbow Length – Elbows are extremely popular for brides and are usually 30 inches long. They are great choices for brides with gowns that do not have a train or want to show off the detailing of their dress. This is considered less formal, as compared to the cathedral veils. Brides that are 5’4″ or shorter should choose a veil that doesn’t eat them up!

Courtney Routh

Birdcage – Ah..the 40’s look. Consider this if you have the dress to match – vintage, lace, or short. This is for a bride that wants to stand out among the rest.
