How to select a matching veil
Choosing a veil can be a complicated task, but here at Ava Bridal, we want to make it a simple and enjoyable experience!
Our veils are all made with a high-quality softer tulle that drapes beautifully and are easily attached. We use metal combs (instead of plastic) to ensure a secure and comfortable fit to the head. We offers three lovely and elegant veil lengths. You may also choose from a one-tier or two-tier veil, as well as four different fabulous colors.

Sheath Wedding Dress
A sheath dress is a snug-fitting dress that highlights the female form and contours the whole body from top to bottom. The sheath dress became a wardrobe staple in the 1960’s after Audrey Hepburn wore a little black Givenchy in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s. In the 1980s, sheath dresses made a comeback, but this time they were embellished with lots of pouf. Wedding dresses today see the return of the classic Audrey Hepburn sheath dress using more structured fabrics like brocade and peau de soie. Softer touches like hand-sewn floral appliques and lace are often found in sheath wedding dresses today.
Sheath dresses are perfect for brides who want to wear a stylish wedding gown and make a powerful statement with her accessories or veil. The sheath dress is also ideal for slim, petite brides because the straight, columnar line gives the illusion of height. Plus-size brides can also wear sheath wedding dresses but instead of columnar styles, opt for more flattering A-line skirts.
Wedding Veils
The style of your wedding dress and the formality of your ceremony are the factors you should consider when deciding on the length and style of your wedding veil. Generally, a full gown with a train for a formal church wedding will call for a cathedral veil, whereas a tea length dress at a simple garden wedding will look better with a short or elbow-length veil. Need inspiration for what to pair with your wedding dress? Here are different wedding veil styles for different kinds of weddings.
