The Traditional Bride:

For the bride who closely follows and wants to practice family wedding traditions, a chapel length lace or crystal veil is your go to. Whether it is a heavy Alencon pattern or a crystal scatter, the traditional bride wants to make sure her veil compliments the gown of her dreams. The lace is a great pair to a ball gown or sleek silhouette, and can be a fantastic heirloom piece, which the traditional bride will love. The crystal veil will had sparkle to any classic fabric to leave a lasting impression for your guests.

The Modern Bride:

This sophisticated, independent bride is not set on tradition, but appreciates all the aspects of a classic wedding day look.

A shorter veil may not live up to the hype when it is blowing in her face all day, whereas a chapel will blow softly along the ground. Plus, just wait until she sees the wedding pictures, a simple chapel veil blowing in the wind?! Talk about GORGEOUS.
