There are only so many times you can wear a veil so you might as well make the most of your wedding day to rock your favorite veil and make a statement. We’ve rounded up 25 of our favorite veils for the 2021 wedding season. From long to short and plain to decadent, there’s a veil for every style and every bride!
1. Sara Gabriel | Adrianne Veil
Shop our favorites from Sara Gabriel, a Denver-based bridal accessory designer. This veil shines with thousands of shimmering crystals and tiny pearls that are invisibly hand-stitched to the veil, and the look is gently finished off with a wide border of glitter and pearls all along the curved edge of this dazzling veil. This veil comes in 110′ length and can be made in other custom lengths depending on how dramatic you want the look to be. Talk about sparkle!
2. Sara Gabriel | Brooke Veil
This elegant cowl-shaped veil is one of the more unique veils that has become very popular for the modern bride, it can go with just about any style of dress but we love this look for a double shoulder strapped dress. Secure it with two small combs that tuck into your hair with a dreamy, low-draped back which is an excellent pair with a low-back dress.
3. Sara Gabriel | April Veil
This gorgeous veil softly caresses you with a crinoline or ‘horsehair’ ribbon that is stitched along the entire edge. The hand-cut lace floats just along the border of the back of the veil for that extra detail. Crinoline edging allows the veil to beautifully define the circular edging of the veil and because crinoline is a thicker fiber, it ever-so-slightly holds the draping shape. Wear the top layer forward for that classic giving away reveal moment, or wear it back for a modern look that is timeless.
