Veil Jargon
Veil manufacturers speak a jargon all their own. Each slight variation in length, width, or shape of cut gets its own term, all of which vie to sound the most romantic. Here are a few basics to help you on your way.
Blusher: Short, over-the-face veil that just grazes the chin. Flyaway: Like the blusher, only in reverse: covers the back of the head down to the shoulders. Fingertip: Falls to the hip line. Waltz or ballerina: Falls to just above the ankles. Chapel: Usually measures six to seven feet from the crown of your head. Cathedral: Usually measures ten to twelve feet. Monarch: The longest of all veils. Excerpted from Anti-Bride Wedding Planner by Carolyn Gerin, Kathleen Hughes, Amy Glynn Hornick. © Chronicle Books.
