Lace Wedding Veils
There is something beautifully romantic about a long wedding veil. As it falls beyond the gown and trails softly behind you, the veil becomes part of the silhouette itself, framing your dress, adding movement and creating an unforgettable view as you walk down the aisle.
At Madame Tulle, our long veils are available in a range of lengths, from floor and chapel to cathedral, regal and royal. Choose from barely-there plain tulle, romantic lace, pearls and beading, floral details, satin and fine edging, or personalised embroidery.
Whether you are looking for a softly sweeping veil to complement your gown or a dramatic length that becomes a feature of your bridal look, the right length can completely transform the way your veil falls around your dress.
Veil lengths are traditionally measured from the comb, where the veil is secured in the hair, to the bottom edge of the veil.
At Madame Tulle, our longer veil lengths include::
Custom lengths are also available for many designs if you need a veil tailored more closely to the length or proportions of your wedding dress.
There are no strict rules when choosing a long bridal veil. The right length depends on your gown, its train and silhouette, and most importantly, the way you would like your veil to look and feel.
A simple gown can be paired with an equally understated long veil or transformed with lace, pearls, florals or personalised details. An intricately detailed gown can look beautiful beneath barely-there tulle, but it can also be paired with a detailed veil when the two designs complement one another.
When deciding between floor, chapel, cathedral or an even longer veil, there are a few things worth considering:
The length of your wedding dress train is one of the most useful starting points when choosing a long veil.
If you would like your veil to frame the train, choosing a length that extends beyond the gown allows the edges of the veil to be seen clearly around the dress.
For a gown with little or no train, a floor or chapel veil can create beautiful length without an extensive trail of tulle behind you. For a dress with a longer train, cathedral, regal or royal length gives the veil more room to extend beyond the gown.
The effect you prefer is entirely personal. Some brides love a subtle extension beyond the dress, while others want a long, sweeping veil that becomes a defining part of the bridal silhouette.
Long wedding veils can complement almost every gown silhouette. The width, fullness and detailing of the veil can be just as important as its length.
A long veil can be worn in many different wedding settings, from churches and formal venues to gardens, vineyards and outdoor ceremonies.
For an indoor ceremony, a cathedral, regal or royal veil has the opportunity to fall beautifully along the aisle. For an outdoor wedding, consider the ground surface and expected weather conditions when deciding how much length you would like to manage.
Long veils can certainly be worn outdoors. Having someone help arrange or carry the train between locations can help protect the tulle and embellishments, particularly on grass, gravel or other uneven surfaces.
At approximately 120 inches (305 cm), a cathedral veil is one of our most loved long wedding veil lengths.
It extends beautifully behind the gown, creating a sweeping silhouette while offering enough length for lace, pearls, floral details, embroidery or a simple uninterrupted fall of tulle to be appreciated.
A cathedral veil can complement almost any wedding dress silhouette, from a fitted gown to a full ball gown. The key is choosing the right width, tulle and detailing to work with the proportions and design of your dress.
Our cathedral wedding veils are available across a wide selection of plain, lace, embellished and personalised designs.
At approximately 90 inches (228 cm), a chapel veil offers beautiful length with a shorter train than cathedral.
It is a lovely choice for brides who want their veil to extend beyond the gown without creating quite as much length behind them. Chapel veils can work beautifully with fitted, A-line and fuller silhouettes, particularly when the dress has a shorter or more understated train.
For brides deciding between floor and cathedral length, chapel offers a beautiful middle ground.
Our floor length veil measures approximately 75 inches (190 cm) and is designed to fall around floor level, depending on your height and where the comb is positioned.
Floor length creates the graceful line of a long bridal veil without the extended train of chapel or cathedral styles. It can be particularly beautiful with fitted or minimal wedding gowns and is also worth considering if you love the appearance of a long veil but prefer less fabric trailing behind you.
For brides who dream of an even longer veil, our Regal and Royal lengths extend beyond our standard cathedral veil for an unforgettable sweep of tulle behind the gown.
Our Regal and Royal veils are made wider in proportion to their longer length, allowing the veil to fall beautifully around the gown and creating a more balanced silhouette from length to width.
For particularly full skirts or very wide trains, please contact us before ordering if you would like advice on the most suitable veil width for your gown.
If one of our standard veil lengths isn't quite right for your gown, custom lengths are available for many Madame Tulle designs.
You may need a little more length to extend beyond a particularly long train, or you may prefer a measurement somewhere between our standard chapel, cathedral, regal or royal options.
Please contact us before placing your order with the veil design and length you have in mind. We'll be happy to advise what is possible for your chosen style and provide any applicable customisation cost.
Your height can affect where a veil finishes because our veil measurements are taken from the comb to the bottom edge.
The position of the comb can also make a small difference. A veil positioned higher on the head will naturally finish slightly higher than the same veil worn lower beneath an updo.
For this reason, floor length in particular may sit slightly differently from bride to bride. Chapel, cathedral and longer lengths are designed to trail beyond the floor, so the difference is generally reflected in how much of the veil trails behind you.
If you have a particular finished length in mind, or would like your veil to extend a certain distance beyond your gown's train, please contact us before ordering. A custom length may be available for your chosen design.
Choosing between floor, chapel, cathedral, regal and royal length can feel difficult when you're looking at measurements alone.
Start with your gown. Consider the length and width of its train, the silhouette of the skirt and how much of the dress you would like your veil to frame.
Our Wedding Veil Length Guide can help you compare the different options, or you're welcome to contact us for advice. Send us a photograph of your gown and let us know which Madame Tulle veil styles you are considering, and we'll be happy to help you choose a length that complements your dress.
Think about the overall silhouette you would like to create.
A shorter veil keeps the detailing closer to the upper part of the gown, while a long veil continues beyond the dress and becomes part of the view from behind.
If you love the idea of tulle softly framing your gown and extending along the aisle, consider floor, chapel, cathedral or one of our longer lengths.
Our longest standard veil is Royal length at 157 inches (400 cm).
We also offer Regal at 138 inches (350 cm), Cathedral at 120 inches (305 cm), Chapel at 90 inches (228 cm) and Floor at 75 inches (190 cm).
Our Regal and Royal veils are made wider in proportion to their extended length, creating a beautifully balanced silhouette around the gown.
Custom lengths beyond our standard measurements may also be available for selected designs. Please contact us before ordering to discuss your requirements.
Your height will affect exactly where the bottom of the veil falls because veil lengths are measured from the comb to the hem.
This is particularly relevant for a floor length veil, where a few centimetres can determine whether the veil sits just above the floor, touches it or trails slightly.
With chapel, cathedral, regal and royal lengths, the veil is intended to trail, so your height will generally affect the amount of tulle extending behind you rather than whether the veil reaches the floor.
Not necessarily. The weight of a long veil depends on more than its length.
Tulle type, width, lace and embellishments can all affect the overall weight and feel of a veil. A long plain veil can feel beautifully light, while an extra-wide veil or a design with substantial lace or embellishment will naturally have more weight.
Your hairstylist can also help position and secure the comb appropriately for your chosen hairstyle.
Yes. Custom lengths are available for many Madame Tulle veil designs.
Whether you need a measurement between our standard lengths or additional length to complement a particularly long gown train, please contact us before ordering. We'll confirm whether your chosen design can be adjusted and advise of any applicable customisation cost.
Cathedral veils can complement many different wedding dress silhouettes, including fitted, A-line and ball gown styles.
Rather than choosing based on silhouette alone, consider your gown's train, width and detailing. A simple cathedral veil can add softness to an intricately detailed dress, while lace, pearls, florals or personalised embroidery can add beautiful detail to a more minimal gown.
For particularly full skirts or wide trains, an extra-wide cathedral veil may create a more generous frame around the dress.
Yes. Long wedding veils can look beautiful at garden, vineyard, beach and other outdoor ceremonies.
Consider the surface you'll be walking over and the expected wind conditions when choosing your length. Having a bridesmaid or another member of your wedding party help arrange or carry the veil between locations can also help protect longer tulle, lace and embellishments. Our outdoor wedding veil guide covers this in detail.
