Wedding Dress and Color
Your wedding dress should match your wedding veil. If you have that detailed, elegant dress for your big day, make sure that your wedding veil is simple to look more flattering. Of course you don't want to be a fashion victim on your wedding. Your wedding veil should always match the color of your wedding gown.

Face Shape
In choosing your wedding veil, it must frame your face. For instance, you have a square shape face which is normally wide and angular. The perfect veil for you is a circular, shoulder length veil to cover some of your face and soften the angular portion of your jaw line.

Body Shape
Body shape is also important. If you're a bride with large bust or stomach, you may prefer long wedding veil that could cover you and make your upper body look long and a little slim.

Hairstyle
You need to consider the hairstyle that you want before wearing that wedding veil. If you intend on wearing your hair all down, then it is probably great to go for lightweight or shorter designs to give emphasis to your hair.

Wedding Venue
Give practical consideration in preferring a veil that is suitable for your wedding venue. A very long cathedral veil is perfect for a church wedding but would not be appropriate and risky in another location.

But if you still find it hard to decide on what wedding veil suits you, try customizing your own wedding veil. Add some embellishments such as pearls, diamonds and other gemstones that match your dress and tiara. You might even like to review this instruction sheet on making homemade birdcage veils.
