Insider Tips: How Bridal Salons Care for Your Wedding Veil

handsome-young-groom-lifting-his-pretty-new-wife-000032877848_medium

Avoid Plastic

Plastic and sunlight can discolor tulle or beading over a long period of time. It’s best to store your veil in a non-plastic garment bag in a closet. Bridal salons hang veils from clips or hoops on a rolling rack. You can imitate this method by clipping your veil onto a hanger. If it is long, double up the tulle so it does not drag on the floor.

Keep It Safe

We recommend storing your wedding ensemble in a dry, safe location. Hang up your gown and veil, and keep your other accessories in a pocket of the garment bag or in a special box—away from children and pets. If you’re headed to a destination wedding, carry on as much as possible. Staying organized will prevent loss or damage to your items.

Mind Your Train

Many brides bring their veil and accessories to a hair trial appointment. This is ok, so long as you’re SUPER careful—all it takes it one person to accidentally step on the edge and you’ve got a hole! Tulle is very delicate and tears cannot be fixed. Keep an eagle eye open and make sure that your veil does not catch or snag on anything.

No Food or Liquids

Unless you’re wearing black on your wedding day, any spill will show up. The safest policy is to not eat or drink anything when trying on your gown and veil. (In fact, some bridal salons do not allow food or beverages for this reason.) Make sure your nail polish is 100% dry and ask your MOH to carry stain remover, just in case!

Avoid Irons

Please do not iron your veil. Just. Don’t. The heat from the iron can melt or discolor the delicate tulle fabric and then the beautiful veil will be ruined. As with your wedding gown, this special accessory should be professionally steamed at a bridal salon. Alternately, you can hang it up for a few days to let the folds/wrinkles fall out.

Why a Wedding Veil is a Bride’s Best Friend

2017-web-image-file_6702-4

They say dogs are man’s best friend (though some of us prefer cats). Other people firmly believe that diamonds are a girl’s best friend—or perhaps chocolate.

On your wedding day, however, your veil is your best friend! This time-honored accessory is always a good choice for your bridal outfit—and here’s why.

2015_08_06_belairebridal_0416

Figure-Flattering

The secret to choosing the perfect veil is in selecting one that complements your gown silhouette. Your veil has a figure-flattering effect that can lengthen your torso or balance the fullness of your dress.

2015_08_06_belairebridal_0197.jpg

Face-Flattering

The veil you choose can also frame your face. A narrow veil with lots of gathers will help elongate a short face, while a flat mantilla or wider veil with layers will shorten a long face.

2017-Web-Image-File_6727-2.jpg

Theme-Enriching

If you’re a princess bride, a cathedral veil completes your ensemble like nothing else. If you’re a romantic bride, lace is the way to go. If you’re a vintage-inspired bride, French net adds authentic style. Your veil is the ultimate accessory when it comes to creating a themed look!

Bel-Aire-Bridal-KT-Merry-6587-1.jpg

Photo-Enhancing

Go on Pinterest and you’ll see what we mean! Veils are a gorgeous addition to your wedding-day photos, whether they’re wrapped around you in a romantic cocoon, or blowing freely in the breeze.

2015_08_06_belairebridal_0849.JPG

Bridal

Ever see a woman wearing a veil on her birthday? Neither have we. Your wedding is the only time you’ll wear a stunning veil—so give it a go! Even strangers will know you’re a bride and shower you with love on your big day.

zkurt_boomer_photography_310.jpg

Personal

Modern veils are available in a variety of trims and lengths. You have the opportunity to personalize your ensemble by choosing one you love—whether it has scattered lace or shimmering rhinestones, four layers or just one.

2017-web-image-file_v7377c

That moment when a bride walks down the aisle in her wedding veil is irreplaceable. Everyone from your mother and father to your groom and best friend will get teary-eyed. A veil adds utterly magical bridal beauty.

6 New Year’s Resolutions Every Bride Should Keep

young-girl-in-a-white-dress-and-black-hat-000094375129_medium-1

Do you have goals for the New Year? If you’re getting married, you should be making—and keeping—these six resolutions.

Try on Your Dress

Once you have received your gown, you should have a fitting appointment. It’s important to try your dress on before and after alterations to ensure a proper fit. Try it on at home, too—just to make sure the undergarments are comfortable (or at least working) with the dress. Take care that your gown is stored properly before the big day, and ask your MOH or MOB to carry spare pins and/or thread, just in case all that dancing pops a zipper or seam.

Choose Accessories

Have fun choosing a look that goes with your personality and theme! From sparkly hair jewelry to glittering headbands, your accessories complete your look and make the wedding feel like yours. Prep your bridal ensemble with a small case of everything you’ll wear—including shoes, combs, pins, jewelry, the veil, garters, etc. Bring emergency toiletries and extra makeup. Hang your veil 2–3 days ahead so any wrinkles will fall out (do not iron it) and bring a cute shawl or sweater for the evening.

Kiss Often

In the middle of wedding planning, remember that your wedding is essentially a celebration of love. Connect with your fiancé and stay happy—do things to alleviate stress! If planning the wedding puts a strain on your relationship, examine what you could be doing better. Learn how to best communicate, and appreciate each other’s strengths and weaknesses throughout the process. Even if nothing goes as planned, so long as you marry the person you love, everything has worked out fine.

Commit to Wellness

Plenty of brides start a fitness routine or diet to prep for the big day, but how many actually stick with it—or can maintain the results? Wellness is about practicing healthy habits that will keep you physically and mentally fit. Balance your life, do exercise that you’ll enjoy, avoid crash diets, and celebrate your progress. Incorporate positive changes that will make you a happier and healthier person as a whole—so when you walk down the aisle, you’ll be looking and feeling your best.

young-couple-in-love-holding-hands-on-the-sunset-during-000083089983_medium-1

Celebrate Being a Bride

Many people only get married once—if at all. You’re in the wonderful position of knowing that your partner is committing to a lifetime with you. Cherish this time and enjoy being engaged! Celebrate with all the cheesy bridal traditions that you like. Go to parties. Take selfies with your ring. Plan an engagement photo shoot. Talk about your future together. Try on white dresses. Obsess over flowers and all things sparkly! You’re the bride, and this is your moment.

Nurture Your Friendships

What is more important: planning your dream wedding, or laying the foundation for a happy life? We’ve all heard stories of women who are so demanding that even their best friends no longer want to stick around. So if you feel unsupported or stressed, take a deep breath and try a new approach. Be gracious and flexible. Appreciate others. Spend some time with friends without talking about the wedding. This event only lasts a day or weekend; your family and friends are forever.

We were able to take a peek at the biggest trends at the bridal fashion weeks last fall, and our new collection offers a little bit of everything for this year’s modern, whimsical bride.

This look is created for the romantic yet outdoorsy bride with a passion for adventure. The rustic-chic-enchanted forest wedding features surprisingly organic, soft details. Gowns with 3D florals fall into this category, along with bridal capes, artistic sleeves, and ethereal layers.

How To Style Me

Floral crowns are a good match for the enchanted bride, as are delicate flower combs and whimsical garlands. Lovely accessories such as a metallic leaf hair clip, sparkly earrings, or a floral belt will instantly elevate your ensemble with graceful elegance. Add an embroidered edge veil or an ethereal cut edge veil for a dreamy touch of romance. This look is straight from a fairy tale.

The best match for this style is, pretty obviously, a sparkling tiara. Bridal crowns are looking big this year, adding creative dimension and volume to your style. Play up the bling with dramatic earrings or transform a strapless gown with shoulder jewelry. Shimmering headbands and rhinestone combs offer alternatives for bridesmaids or a reception change.

The Look: Boho Babe

This year’s bohemian bride is taking a more sophisticated spin. Last year’s casual dresses have evolved into delicate laces and retro silhouettes with big bell sleeves, see-through layers, and ready-to-wear fabrics that are super comfortable and yet so chic.

How To Style Me

Bel-Aire-Bridal-6647.jpg

Boho-glam is in this year. Style this look with a sparkling bit of hair jewelry and big, bold statement pieces; personalize a simple gown by adding jewelry with meaning. For a more subtle, nature-inspired look, our goddess-worthy gold headbands are an easy-wear solution. Flexible hair vines offer a way to twist some bling into a braid or updo.

The Look: Retro

Gone is the Gatsby Era of the early teens; 2017 highlights a variety of retro styles. 90’s spaghetti straps and two-piece gowns are in for the dramatic, on-trend bride. Other big retro looks include dramatic bows, structured corset tops, peplums, and 70’s era jumpsuits/pants.

How To Style Me

For a sweet ‘90s look, a simple ribbon edge veil and small flower comb will do the trick. If you’re going more ‘60s-‘70s, a glittering bohemian headpiece is a game-changer. Our fascinators and vintage-inspired headbands mimic styles from the ‘20s and ‘50s. Delicate, French lace veils generally complement the retro lace gowns created by this year’s indie designers.

Dramatic trends are made for the bold bride who wants to look fresh and modern. See-through nude laces and plunging necklines, backless gowns and dramatic trains, and non-white colors are all the rage. Detachable skirts in place of separate reception dresses are still looking popular this year, though short bridal gowns are becoming readily more available.
