Wedding veil lengths

Put on your dress and wedding shoes, with your comb in place. Measure from the comb down to where you want the veil to end. On the veil page, choose the nearest length, then type your number in the box beside it, checking cm or inches. We cut your veil to it, in Bath.

Past the floor, a veil looks best about 30cm (1ft) beyond the end of your dress train. With your dress and wedding shoes on and your comb in place, measure from the comb, over the dress, to the end of the train, and add 30cm. If you measure 220cm, that makes 250cm, our church length. Want the veil to end with the train? Add nothing.

Our lengths are standard, so you may need to adjust yours for your height and shoes. Set your height in the drawing above to see roughly where each length falls on you. It’s a guide from typical proportions: your shoes, comb and dress change it too, so a tape measure worn with your dress is the surest. Then order your own number if you’d like it to finish somewhere else.

Most of our veils are about 183cm (72in) wide, enough to fall softly around most dresses, full skirts included. For a very full or structured skirt, some of our styles come extra wide. Each one gives its exact width on its own page.

Yes. Any length can work at any height; it’s about the look you want. On a petite bride our standard lengths finish lower, so set your height in the drawing to see where. If you’d like a fingertip veil to stop at your fingertips, order a shorter length to measure. For a long veil, your train matters more than your height.

Before we send it, yes: just ask and we’ll change the length on your order. Once it’s on its way, the order can’t be changed. Most veils at a standard length can come back within your return window, and you can order the length you want. A veil made to your own measurement can’t be returned. If you trim a veil yourself, it can’t come back to us.

Our royal length is 350cm (138in) from the comb, and we have made longer. We make it to order on any veil that comes in cathedral length: choose cathedral on the veil page and type your length in the box beside it. Lengths past 300cm carry an extra-length charge.

Cathedral is 300cm (118in), our longest standard length, with a long trail behind you. Royal is 350cm (138in) or longer, made to order, for a really dramatic trail. Past the floor, let your train decide: a veil looks best about 30cm (1ft) beyond the end of it.

No. The length is the main veil, measured from the comb. A blusher is a separate short layer worn over your face, usually 72cm (28in), and a few of our veils have an extra long 100cm (39in) blusher. Each two-tier veil’s page gives both lengths.
