Wedding Tip · During the Wedding

Give your veil a moment in the photographs

A veil can bring texture, movement and a different view.

A bride holds her bouquet beneath the soft layers of her veil.

If you choose to wear a veil, tell your photographer when you plan to put it on and take it off. A short veil or a long one can create beautiful opportunities: soft layers around a face, movement in the breeze or a parent lifting it before the ceremony.

If you are having a first look, you could save the veil for the aisle so there is still a new detail to see. Choose what feels right for you; the veil should be something you enjoy wearing, with photographs that make the most of it.
