THE SIMPLE VEIL
In recent decades veils have been symbolic of bridal style, the grander and longer the more awe inspiring. Yet things are changing and we are seeing more and more micro veils frequenting the aisles and celebrations as brides modernise their looks. Veils can define a bridal style but it can be tricky to find the exact balance between it and the dress, so smaller discreet options are more flexible and easier to wear in many cases.
There are endless options to consider - lace, embroidered, appliquéd, opaque, sheer - but there is something refreshing about a simple swath of superfine mesh casually covering the head and face, perhaps secured with a pretty clip. These understated styles are ideal for adding contemporary, bridal formality to more relaxed wedding outfits and events.
