FAQ's

What is the difference between a veil and a veil with a blusher?

The blusher is an additional layer of tulle or fabric that covers the face as you walk down the aisle. It also adds extra volume to the veil when flipped back off the face, creating a second layer to the veil portion. A veil without a blusher is just one single layer of tulle that drapes from a comb at varying lengths such as chapel or cathedral.

Are there different types of blusher styles?

As you start shopping for veils, you’ll soon realize there is bouquet of unique styles to choose from. I find Pinterest is a great place to start for ideas to narrow down your selection. As you familiarize yourself, you can start to figure out what length of veil and blusher you would like. A lot of veils can be modified and custom made. Feel free to ask if that option is offered – or you can ask for suggestions on veils with the aspects you are looking for. It is important to try on different veil styles with your wedding dress of choice so you can get an idea of the final look.

Why choose a blusher veil?

Blusher veils have a lovely layering effect that adds to your final bridal look. They create volume and elegant drama for outdoor photos if you are looking to have fun with the photographer! It is truly a timeless style, but also a personal decision. Brides may also opt for a blusher veil if they are aiming for a bit more of a traditional aspect to their wedding day. At the end of the aisle, it can be lifted by the person walking the bride down the aisle as a final sendoff, or by the fiancé as a sweet surprise before the vows are exchanged.
