Wedding & Bridal Veils: Pearl Veils, Lace Veils + Teardrop Veils

Love is in the veil. Anthropologie offers an exquisite collection of bridal veils for the modern bride.

Why do brides wear veils?

Throughout history, bridal veils have been worn as a symbol of purity or modesty, beginning from ancient times. In many cultures, wedding veils are believed to protect the bride from evil spirits and to ward off bad luck. The wedding veil has evolved into a personalizable bridal accessory, representing the bride's transition.

How do you choose what kind of veil to wear?

When choosing a bridal veil, it's important to consider your personal style and preferences. The teardrop veil has a rounded shape that frames the face, giving it a vintage and romantic feel. If you have a lace wedding dress, a lace veil can complement the overall look and add elegance. A pearl veil with delicate pearl embellishments is a timeless and classic choice that brings a subtle yet luxurious charm to your bridal ensemble. The length of the veil could be determined based on the formality of the event. A cathedral-length veil exudes grandeur and drama, making it suitable for elaborate ceremonies. On the other hand, a fingertip length veil offers a more casual and versatile option.

How do you style a wedding veil?

Many brides prefer to pair low buns or half-up hairstyles with fingertip-length veils secured beneath the updo. If you're aiming for a touch of drama, let your flowing locks harmonize with the ethereal beauty of a cathedral-length veil, a versatile choice that complements various bridal looks. To perfect your ensemble, seamlessly tie together the final touches by coordinating accessories – be it necklaces, bracelets, earrings, or gloves – with any lace or pearl details present in your veil, creating a cohesive and enchanting look for your special day.
