Your wedding dress may set the stage, but your veil is what completes the bridal story. In 2025, veils are more than just a tradition — they’re a statement of style, personality, and timeless romance. From cathedral drama to fingertip chic, choosing the perfect veil can feel overwhelming with so many lengths, embellishments, and fabric options available.
That’s why we’ve created the ultimate guide to help you find your perfect veil — one that enhances your gown, elevates your photos, and makes you feel unforgettable when you walk down the aisle.
Step 1: Decide on Your Veil Length
Your veil length dramatically changes the mood of your bridal look.
Cathedral Length (108”+)
Ideal for brides who want show-stopping drama. Cathedral veils sweep behind you and are breathtaking for grand entrances and aisle photos.
Shop the Look: The Royalty Veil with cascading Austrian pearls.
Chapel Length (90”)
Slightly shorter than cathedral but still formal. Pairs beautifully with lace or fitted gowns.
Shop the Look: The Serendipity Striped Veil 
Waltz Length (54”)
Hits between the knees and ankles, perfect for brides who want drama without floor length. Also known as the Ballet length veil.
Shop the Look: The Quincy Veil, adorned with scattered Austrian crystals.
Fingertip Length (36”)
A versatile option that feels modern yet classic. Pairs with almost any gown silhouette.
Shop the Look: The Symphony Veil, featuring clusters of Austrian crystals. 
✨ Step 2: Choose Your Embellishment Style
Do you want your veil to blend softly into your gown — or stand out as its own work of art?
-
Pearls: Timeless, chic, and trending in 2025. They add depth without overpowering your gown.
Shop the Look: The Royalty Veil with a pearl cascade or our Reign Pearl Bow Veil inspired by French couture.
-
Crystals: For brides who want sparkle and light-catching glamour.
Shop the Look: The Samantha Crystal Bow Veil or our best selling Dream Veil, both sparkle in style.
-
Lace: Perfect for romantic brides or gowns with floral motifs.
Shop the Look: The Queenly Veil with corded rose lace trim.
-
Unique Motifs: Modern brides are choosing veils with unexpected details like bows, roses, or even phrases.
Shop the Look: The Rose Veil with sequin roses or the Glamour Monogram Veil with couture-inspired details.
Step 3: Match Your Veil to Your Dress Color
Not all whites are created equal. The wrong shade can make your gown look off. Ariel Taub veils are available in a range of hues to perfectly match your gown:
-
Bright White: A cool-toned white, with a slight blue undertone. Works best with "true" and stark white gowns.
-
Soft Diamond White: A slightly warmer-toned white, ideal for silk dresses. Also known as "silk white".
-
Modern Light Ivory: The most universal shade for wedding gowns. Typically what is carried in store and has a slight yellow undertone. This should be paired with ivory dresses that appear white to the naked eye.
-
Warm Ivory / Champagne: Perfect for romantic, vintage, or lace gowns. The ivory is a true ivory and has a more obvious yellow undertone. The champagne has a slight brownish-pink undertone.
-
Blush / Lilac / Blue / Black: For the modern bride who wants a fashion-forward twist.
Step 4: Don’t Forget Practicality
Your veil should be beautiful and comfortable and compliment your gown. Consider:
-
Will you want a blusher for the aisle reveal? (The Royalty Veil includes one with double-sided pearls.)
-
Do you plan to wear it all night or remove it after the ceremony?
-
Do you want it to photograph dramatically — or feel lightweight for dancing?
Step 5: Make It Personal
Your veil isn’t just fabric — it’s a piece of your story. Choose one that reflects your style, your gown, and the moment you want to create.
✨ At Ariel Taub, every veil is handcrafted with couture detail, using only the finest pearls, crystals, and laces. From timeless classics to bold statements, your perfect veil is waiting to be discovered.
👰 FAQs About Wedding Veils
How do I know if a cathedral veil is right for me?
If you’re getting married in a grand space (cathedral, ballroom, estate), a cathedral veil will match the drama. If your venue is casual or outdoors, a fingertip or waltz veil may be more practical.
Can I wear pearls and crystals together?
Yes! Mixing textures creates dimension. The Illustria Veil blends crystals and pearls for a modern sparkle.
What if I want color in my veil?
Colored veils are a 2025 trend. Our 1902 Veil comes in blush, lilac, blue, and even black for bold brides.
✨ Final Word
Your veil is the finishing touch that makes your bridal look truly yours. Whether you dream of pearls cascading behind you, lace framing your gown, or a playful bow trailing down the aisle, Ariel Taub has a veil designed for your moment.
