Getting married for many brides is a once in a lifetime event that they will always remember. They want to look perfect when they walk down the aisle. They may spend countless hours looking for and being fitted for the ideal gown for their big day.

However, choosing the perfect wedding dress is only half the battle when it comes to putting together a bridal outfit that you can be proud of wearing. By choosing one of the many long cathedral wedding veils available to you today, you can add the finishing touch to your wedding day ensemble and make the ideal fashion statement as you are walking down the aisle.

Today’s bridal fashion industry is seeing a major shift back to long cathedral wedding veils that were once a staple of any bridal ensemble. They became a hallmark of any fashion forward bride in the early 1980s when Princess Diana wore a long veil on her wedding day. However, long veils receded from fashion toward the end of that decade and especially in the 1990s when they were traded in for waist length veils.

However, long cathedral veils are back and are now considered to be one of the most fashion forward pieces you can add to your bridal outfit. They come in an assortment of styles including understated and basic. However, if you want a veil that is embellished with rhinestones, jewels, and other bling, you can also find them available at most bridal stores.

Before you decide what kind of veil to wear for your big day, you might want to try on several styles. You also may want to try walking with a cathedral veil to learn how to accommodate its length and weight. Walking with one may require you to adjust your steps to avoid stepping on it.
