Unlike choosing clothes, choosing wedding items can be confusing because it's the first time most brides are doing it.
For material, tulle is the best.

For Wedding Veil Lengths, here are our guidelines:
SHOULDER LENGTH
Often referred to as the "Madonna" veil because it resembles a halo. Doubled tulle is cut into a circle and folded to form a face blusher. Ranging in length from 18" to 27," just coming to or passing the shoulders. Simple style sheath gowns look fabulous with this length of veil.
ELBOW LENGTH
Just a bit longer than the shoulder length veil. It measures anywhere from 28" to 36 " in length and covers the shoulders and ends at or near the elbows. A perfect classic for when you want a more dramatic length of tulle at the back.
FINGERTIP
This veil is meant to extend to your outstretched fingertips. It’s one of the most popular lengths and can be single layer or doubled with a blusher front.
WALTZ LENGTH
Known as a "Walking Veil," the tulle should end between the calf of the leg and the ankle. The usual length is 54" to 60" and the veil is usually double layer with a shorter blusher worn at the front. Very popular in the 1970's during the Victorian Revival period.
CHAPEL LENGTH
A Chapel length veil is meant to just barely skim the floor. This is a tricky veil to individually measure, as it may mean customizing a veil with a pair of scissors to suit the bride’s height. A bride must also account for her heels when trying on a chapel length veil.
CATHEDRAL LENGTH
Cathedral Veils are meant for very formal weddings since its dramatic beauty can be the focal point of attention over the dress. Many Brides choose to embellish a simple floor length dress with a Cathedral Veil to give the impression of a long train. A Cathedral Veil can extend for more than 5 yards if desired, but your best guide is to have the veil extend at least a foot beyond your gown's train.
MANTILLA VEIL
Inspired by Spanish style lace mantilla, this veil type is gaining popularity amongst brides who want to look traditional in a different way.
TIP: If your gown is simple, you can choose more intricate your wedding veils. If your wedding gown is already embellished, choose simpler wedding veils.
