What Are The Different Traditional Short Wedding Veil Lengths?

When we talk of short wedding veils we’re referring specifically to any veil that doesn’t reach all the way down to the floor. Some popular, traditional short veil lengths include Shoulder length (20”), Elbow length (25”=63.5cm), Waist length (30”=76.2cm), Hip length (36”=91.44cm), and Fingertip length (42”=106.68cm). Now you may notice these lengths have conveniently been named according to approximately where on the body they fall. But this is an approximation and will vary depending on the bride’s own height. For example, an especially petite bride could achieve the look of a fingertip length veil by selecting a hip length veil.

What Are The Most Popular Short Wedding Veil Styles?

We definitely notice brides tend to favour a couple of our shorter veil length over others. Fingertip has always been incredibly popular. Hip length isn’t too far behind, and after that, it would be Waist length. When you read our tips below on how to choose a short veil length, these being the most popular will definitely make sense.

The Benefits Of Having Shorter Veil

There’s no doubt that we love a long veil here at The Wedding Veil Shop. As veil makers, it’s just a much larger canvas for us to work with and we like that. But, we’d be lying if we didn’t tell you that short wedding veils are much easier to wear. Think about it, they don’t touch the ground so they’ll never get caught, snagged or stepped on. They don’t require much, if any, fluffing or arranging. They tend to just hang beautifully all by themselves. A set-it-and-forget-it option, if you will. Another benefit to having a shorter style is the price. Expect a waist length veil to be almost half the price of a chapel one, for example.

Tips For Choosing A Short Wedding Veil

  1. Think about your dress’ waistline. Does your dress have a natural waistline like an A-line or ballgown? If so, you could go for waist or elbow length, depending on your height.
  2. Think about your dress’ back detail. Does it have a corset or a lovely row of buttons that extends below the waist? Or maybe a lovely low-scooping back. You might not want to visually cut this gorgeous detailing in half with your veil. Choose a length that ends below it instead such as hip or fingertip length.
  3. Think about the blusher length. If you plan to buy a two-tier veil so that the blusher can be worn over the face, you might want to go for one of the longer options, hip or fingertip, that have a full-length blusher of 30”. This is the same length as on a cathedral veil and is plenty long enough to be worn over the face, even from above a low bun.
