Your Veil Buying Guide

Make sure you choose your perfect veil . . .

Use our veil guide below to ensure you feel confident with your chosen veil.

From the length to the edging, from pearls to diamantes, there are so many possibilities in your veil choice. Here at Pink Daisy Bridal it is our job to ensure we help you to choose the veil of your dreams.

Veil Buying Guide

The number one question on  the minds of Brides, is: “How do I choose the right veil for my dress?”

Before you can answer your question, it is important to understand ‘veil terminology’. We have here below a diagram that addresses the basic veil lengths from designers with a typical description used.

Wedding Veil Sizes

We use on our website the traditional method of giving sizes of wedding veils in inches. The chart below shows standard sizes of two tier veils, and how they are otherwise known.

Size in Inches Size in cm Also known as . . .
20 51 Shoulder Length
36 91.5 Elbow Length
54 137 Waist Length
72 183 Fingertip Length
108 274 Floor Length
126 320 Chapel or Train Length
144 366 Cathedral or Long Train Length

Remember the size in inches or centimetres includes the length of the blusher or face veil. Different designers may come up with their own descriptions of each of these lengths, but the names used above are the most common.

Common lengths are listed above and the most common veiling widths are 54″ wide, 72″ wide and 108″ wide.

Two Tier or Single Tier?

A ‘tier’ simply means a layer of veiling. Most wedding veils have two tiers, which means that they have two layers of veiling coming down from the comb that sits in your hair. Usually the top tier is shorter than the bottom tier, and is called the blusher. This can be brought down over your face for the traditional blushing bride look. If you want your veil to be a main feature of your bridal outfit then a veil with three or more tiers will make a great statement.

The most popular veil size is 72”. This is the length from the bottom of the blusher to the bottom of the back of the veil, meaning that on a two tier veil it will hang around 40-45” from the comb, usually reaching your hips.

Description of Lengths

Blusher – This is the veiling that covers the face when you walk down the aisle. The blusher can be worn during the entire ceremony until the first kiss as husband and wife, or it can be pulled back over the bride’s face before she is given away by the father (or by person who walks the bride down the aisle) A typical blusher can be any length from about 20”.

Shoulder length – This veil is just that, a veil that hits the bride just below the shoulder and typically these are 20″ in length.

Elbow length – This veil come to the brides elbow and are typically 25″ in length.

Waist length – This length will finish around your waist area. The measurement’s for a 2 tier veil are 25″ blusher and a train of approx. 30″.

Fingertip length – This veil will finish right at the fingertips or around the hand. A typical length for this veil is 44″ train with a blusher of 28” but also known as a 72” when it is a 2-tier.

Floor length – Floor length veils are 108” long and extend all the way to the ground. The width of the veil can range anywhere from 54” wide to 108” wide, depending on the width of your dress or personal preference.

Chapel length – Chapel veils usually finish at the end of a traditional length of a train on most wedding gowns. They are typically worn in church settings for a dramatic walk down a long aisle.

Cathedral length – A Cathedral veil is approximately 144” long, or even longer.

Veil Edging

Cut edge – a neatly cut edge with no finish.

Pencil edge – very fine finish can be done in any colour.

Embroidery – A satin thread that creates a chain stitch creating either a single line or a stunning finish.

Rhinestone – A stunning trim of continual, end-to-end finish of 5mm diamante’s.

 

We hope that the above tips and advice has been a helpful guide to you and helps you in your quest in choosing your veil for your special day.

9. CHOOSE SHOES COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR SURROUNDINGS

Are your shoes suitable for your venue? Make sure the style of shoe you choose fits in with the overall style of your wedding. Open toe, strappy shoes can be perfect for a summer wedding, but in winter a closed toe pair of court shoes will look elegant and more appropriate.

For a wedding on grass, or on the beach, be aware that narrow heels will sink into the soft ground, so flat shoes or wedge heels will be far easier to walk in. For a fun, quirky wedding, bright, striking shoes peeping out from under your dress can create a real impact.

10. CHOOSE SHOES YOU LOVE

Most importantly of all, choose a pair of wedding shoes that you love. They will always remind you of your special day, and just as with everything else you wear on your wedding day, they should make you feel fabulous.

6. TO DANCE OR NOT TO DANCE?

Are you having a boogie on your wedding day? If so, you may consider purchasing a pair of more comfortable flat ballet slippers to change into later on, so you can enjoy all the frivolity with your family and friends all night long.

7. WHITE WILL VARY IN SHADE

There are several shades of white, so if your dress is white, make sure you get a swatch from your dress shop to compare the shade.

Silk shoes are traditionally more of an off white shade, because they are a natural fabric, whereas imported satin shoes are a very bright white with almost a blue hue to them.

8. TREAT YOUR FEET

Remember to schedule in a lovely pedicure a couple of days before the big day. Slip your feet into your gorgeous wedding shoes with soft skin, neat cuticles and glossy, painted nails. Pampered feet will feel fresher and help to make you feel special.

4. FABRIC CHOICES

Silk or Satin are traditionally the two most popular choices for wedding shoes. But of course, your wedding dress and personal taste should have the greatest impact on the shoes you choose. Matching your shoes to your wedding dress is an exciting part of the selection process. Think about whether you are wearing a silk, satin or lace dress and match your wedding shoes accordingly.

RC F 2015 Harper

For part of the day you may only see the front of your shoe, however, you may be lifting the dress to walk or dance and your guests will then see the back part of your shoes. Going for some detail at the back can be interesting and eye-catching. If you’re wearing a non-traditional wedding dress, your shoes do not need to be traditional either.

For that extra ‘bling’ or that something different to make your shoes unique and you, how about adding some Shoe Clips?

Callisto                     Titiana

5. COST

Everyone is on a budget and getting a bargain is paramount, however with that in mind, think of your wedding dress and be prepared to pay from 10 – 15% of its value for your shoes. If your beautiful dress cost £500 your shoes should ideally cost you between £50 – £75.

You certainly don’t want to undervalue your dress or buy cheap and uncomfortable shoes.

We hope that the above tips and advice has been a helpful guide to you and helps you in your quest in choosing your shoes for your special day. Please look out for the rest of our mini series in our Guide to choosing your Perfect Wedding Shoes.

2. DONT LEAVE THEM TILL LAST

Many Brides often focus on the wedding dress and leave the shoes until the very last minute! Make sure you purchase your shoes before your first dress fitting, so the height of the hem can be made the perfect length to the shoes that will be wearing on the day.

Remember that if you are wearing a shorter wedding dress, your shoes will be on constant display, so make sure they are flattering.

3. PICK THE RIGHT HEEL HEIGHT

The majority of Brides will prefer to go for heels and it is important to pick the right heel height for you. We advise choosing a heel height that you’re comfortable with and are used to wearing. If you normally wear 4 inch heels, then why change this on your wedding day! You know you will be comfortable.

Orvietto

However, if you don’t normally wear very high heels, your wedding day is not the best day to pick to experiment! If you want a bit of height, but are not used to wearing stilettos, why not consider platform heels, or the lower, kitten heels?

And of course, if you prefer, flat satin ballet slippers make beautiful bridal shoes too. However, regarding the height of your heels, you will also need to consider the height of your groom for your wedding photographs! While this is not an issue for many, some taller brides worry about being taller or close in height to their new husband on the wedding day, and if this is you consider lower heels or flats instead.

Our Guide to Choosing your Perfect Wedding Shoes

RC F 2015 Harper.jpg

Between choosing the cake, photographer, venue, bridesmaids, caterers and music, there are hundreds of decisions to be made as you prepare for your wedding day. But don’t underestimate the importance of your wedding shoes! They have to carry you through one of the biggest events of your life, so you need them to have the ‘Cinderella fit’.

You want to gracefully walk down the aisle, effortlessly dance with your new husband and tirelessly stand to greet your guests and pose for pictures without worrying about slipping, stumbling and enduring pain! The style and types of wedding shoe available today are endless and you are sure to find something to suit your own style/taste.

Here at Pink Daisy Bridal, we are often asked by Brides-to-be for advice when it comes to choosing the perfect pair of Wedding shoes. Tim Downer, co-founder of Pink Daisy Bridal, looks at some of the most popular tips in choosing your wedding shoes. There are a number of factors to consider, so here are our essential 12 tips to help you find the perfect Bridal Shoe for your Special Day broken down into a mini series over the next few days, so please come back and read the rest of our top tips:

TOP 12 TIPS FOR CHOOSING YOUR WEDDING SHOES

1. COMFORT IS THE KEY

One of the most important things to keep in mind while buying your wedding shoes is comfort. Your wedding day will be a very long one spent mainly on your feet, from walking down the aisle, greeting guests, posing for photographs, cutting the cake, to standing up for toasts and even dancing the night away!!

Spending hours on your feet is difficult with even the most comfortable pair of shoes, so think about comfort. Practise walking in your shoes before your big day to break them in – and why not try dancing in them in the kitchen? Every night for a couple of weeks before the wedding, put your shoes on for a little while. Wear them around the house or to run an errand or two. By the time your wedding day rolls around, they’ll feel like slippers.

Why are Brides choosing ‘Rainbow Club’ as their preferred Wedding Shoes?

Proper wedding shoes are specially designed with comfort in mind, and our collection of bridal shoes from Rainbow Club has additional padding exactly for this purpose.

Classic Bliss

Bliss means extreme comfort. Developed with Rainbow Club’s unique breathable skin fit padded lining and extra spongy latex under foot, making this collection ‘the most comfortable Wedding shoes in the world!’

Go to any stockist of Rainbow Club shoes and feel for yourself the ‘padded lining and extra spongy latex sole’ and you will feel for yourself that these shoes will indeed be very comfortable to wear all day, on your special Wedding Day.

FAQ’s you may have when considering hiring a wedding planner

Posted by Pink Daisy Group on September 17, 2015
Posted in: Uncategorized. Leave a comment
It’s likely that you’ve never used a wedding planner before and therefore you are bound to have some questions. Have a look to see if we’ve answered your question below and if not, feel free to contact us!

Why hire a wedding planner?

Most couples these days are working professionals, and are simply too busy to plan a wedding with it’s many details. Wedding planning can be overwhelming and stressful when you do not have the time that is needed to put into it. Hiring a wedding planner will save you valuable time. It takes up to 250 hours to plan a wedding, which is equivalent to 6 weeks full-time work. Your wedding is such an important – and expensive – event in your life, that it makes sense to hire a professional to assist you during the process. We also offer expert advice and support throughout the planning process.  

So much input is required when planning a wedding, searching venues and negotiating with suppliers getting guests organised and finding inspiration to suit your theme all whilst trying to keep in budget. The aim of a wedding planner is to take the stress out of the organising allowing you to enjoy every moment of your engagement. You will still get to decide what you want we will narrow down searches based on your requirements for you to make the final decision. However be rest assured that we work every step of the way with you to ensure every detail is exactly how you pictured it.

And best of all – having a Wedding Planner means that you (AND your friends and family) can relax and enjoy all of the amazing experiences and emotions that come on your wedding day without being stressed. There are hundreds of other reasons, but chances are, if you’re reading this, you already know why you need a Wedding Planner!

Group of workers

What can I expect from our consultation?

Here at Pink Daisy Weddings, we offer an initial complimentary consultation during which we get to know each other a little better, discuss your visions, likes and dislikes and dreams and turn them into reality. We will carefully listen to your ideas and put them together to ensure an outstanding event for you and your guests. Following the consultation, we will recommend one of our services to you based on your individual requirements with the associated costs. We will never take over your wedding and we will always keep you up-to-date with regular emails, telephone calls and face-to-face meetings.

When is the best time to select a wedding planner?

You could ask yourself this question: ”How long do you want to stress over planning your wedding?” The answer to that question should dictate to you when you will want to consider when you should select a Wedding Planner. We would recommend that you hire your Planner as soon as you get engaged, and way before you select your venue or vendors. However, we have been hired by couples that already had their venue and selected their vendors. So, it’s really never too late or too early.

What makes ‘Pink Daisy Weddings’ different?

We focus on more than just your wedding day – we want the entire process of planning your wedding to be a delightful experience for you and your families. We are honest and care deeply about the ethics in our industry. We are hopeless romantics, fun, energetic and stylish. We believe that the best events are designed with you and your personality in mind. We choose our clients carefully, because we believe that it is necessary to have a genuine connection between each Planner and the couple that they will be servicing. We are dedicated to our industry and take our responsibility of creating an experience that you will remember seriously. We believe in Quality not Quantity!

I want to hire ‘Pink Daisy Weddings’, what do ‘I Do’?

Yay!! Head over to our ‘contact us’ page and fill it out, so that we can schedule in your initial client consultation and start your Wedding Planning experience.

How can ‘Pink Daisy Weddings’ make my wedding ‘one of a kind’?

What! Are you sure you don’t want a cookie cutter wedding? Of course not! ‘Pink Daisy Weddings’ specializes in creating events that are reflective of your personal brand, style and vision. All of our weddings are tailored towards that particular couple, their personality, and most importantly their love for each other. It is this that makes each and every wedding individual, and no two are the same.

What can i expect from our consultation?

Your free wedding planning consultation will generally take around an hour. We can meet you at a location of your convenience. We will take many many notes, and answer as many questions as we can. We will have a questionnaire for you to fill out, and will give you some hand-outs to keep. Just to let you know, YOU DO NOT have to make a decision on the day. We know how many people you will probably have to go away and talk to first. If you do decide you would like us to be your wedding planners, we will organise a second meeting were we can then get the ball rolling with planning your big day!

I need help with something specific and don’t need one of the ‘wedding packages’. Can you still help me?

Yes we can! Use the Contact Us form with your requirements, and we will be thrilled to help you with whatever it is you need. Look at our drop down boxes of our services, and there you will find we can source the perfect venue for you, or even manage your guests in sending and receiving invitations.

We really need help with our wedding planning, but we don’t have a big enough budget for a planner. Can you help?

YES!!  We will organise a free consultation with you to talk over where you need help and will come up with the cheapest solution to help you out. There are many ways you can also save money, so send us an email, or call to arrange an appointment. 

We would love to have a wedding planner but were wondering if we could pay in instalments?

Sure.  We are very aware of how expensive a wedding can be and will always endeavour to help our couples and their families as much as possible when it comes to financing your big day. Please read our terms and conditions under payments here

I am worried that a wedding co-ordinator will take over?

At no point will you lose control over your wedding and be assured we at ‘Pink Daisy Weddings’ will not take over. YOU will always have the final say into any decisions. Our initial consultation will allow us to determine exactly what you want from us how much input you require. You will receive regular updates from us and we will be available to assist and answer your questions every step of the way.

Can I use my own suppliers?

Of course you can. Pink Daisy Weddings will have a range of suppliers available, however if you have a friend who’s a photographer or you have been recommended to a florist, then we will be happy to work with any suppliers of your choice. We will liaise directly with them and you to ensure the perfect end result.

How often can I contact you?

We are available for you throughout the planning stage and you have the advantage of having us available by mobile and email. If you want to arrange a meeting then we can book one in the diary that suits both parties. We are here to take the pressure, stress and worry away from you, no matter how many times you feel you need to call.

I’ve already started planning, can I still use your services?

Yes you can. At any point in the planning process can you introduce a wedding planner. Whether you need the Consultation meeting to help produce some ideas, check you have covered every detail needed or to use our search package to assist you with finding the right venue or supplier, we are happy to help. Or if you just want someone there on the day to ensure the smooth running of the function, we can do this discreetly and professionally.

I have a great Wedding Coordinator at the venue who said they are sorting everything out…

We have found that wedding venues rarely get involved with your other suppliers. Unfortunately, most do not take an interest in the whole picture of the wedding day. Speak to them and find out what services you are paying for and what they would do if things don’t go to plan.

How long are you on site for on the day of the wedding?

As long as you need me for. All weddings are different, but I will be there early to set up and will usually be there until the end of the wedding.

Will you be there on the day to oversee the entire event and co-ordinate the logistics with vendors and the bridal party?

Definitely! My job is to allow you to relax, to enjoy your day and be able to cherish each moment. l will send a wedding schedule to everyone involved so that they know what they need to do, and when. On the day, I will be there making sure that it happens, that your day runs smoothly, and to time, and also troubleshooting discretely if necessary.

Will you read over the suppliers contracts for me?

Yes. I will always review the contracts before you sign them and highlight any areas that you may want to pay particular attention to.

Will you come to our consultations with other suppliers?

Yes, if you want me to. I can learn a lot about you in the meetings, from your reactions and body language, and it is always helpful to know what has and hasn’t been agreed. I can give you an objective point of view or sounding board if you need one.

Can you organise the invitations?

I will help you to co-ordinate and select stationery that enhances your wedding design. I will advise you on any relevant etiquette and wordings. If required, I can address and mail the invites and I will manage the RSVPs and draw up details of guests with transport, hotel and special dietary requirements etc on a spread sheet.

Can you help me with etiquette?

Yes. I will help you with the ‘rules’ so that you understand the traditions and also the modern alternatives to them. We can discuss which ones can be bent and which are important to being a gracious host.

How will I know what is happening and what I have to do?

Firstly, this is your day and you can ‘do’ and be involved as much, or as little as you want – we can discuss this in the consultation. However, I will draw up a file for you incorporating your budget planning, timeline, and payment schedules. I will send this out to you every week with a list of bullet pointed jobs that we each need to work on during that month.

We will also meet at key stages in the planning process as shown on the timeline to review progress and agree our next course of action. You also have unlimited e-mail and telephone access during office hours.

Arrive in Style

What happens if you were unable to attend on the day?

Although this has never happened to date, I do have back up plans for all my weddings, just in case. Wedding planners who are members of the UKAWP tend to work in a similar way and would certainly be used to my schedules, contact details, guest management lists etc. We work together to help each other out and have agreed terms for working for each other in emergency situations.

Will you have anyone else with you at my wedding?

I often work with an assistant (the wife), and would never risk your wedding day by having inadequate staff available. The number of staff is based on the complexity and size of the wedding, and will be included in your quotation after the initial consultation.

Are you paid commission from the suppliers that you work with?

Absolutely not. I do not believe that accepting commission would be in your best interests. Any commissions offered, or discounts negotiated are passed directly on to you. Additionally, I do not sign contracts on your behalf, never mark up vendor fees or add a ‘sourcing’ fee to their prices.

Do you charge for an initial meeting?

No. The initial consultation is complimentary and will last for around 1-2 hours. This is our opportunity to get to know each other a little bit and see how we could best work together. We will be spending a lot of time together and it is important that our personalities match.

What will it cost me?

That really depends upon which service you need. I offer hourly rates if you want some support with specific areas or would like advice on a consultancy style basis. I also offer flat-rate fees that can be customised to suit your wedding. For some services I charge a percentage of the budget. I will discuss the options with you at the initial consultation, and document the payment methods agreed in my proposal so that you know exactly what you will be paying, and what you can expect in return.

What size budget should we have to use a wedding planner?

Any!  I offer a comprehensive range of services that allow you to pick and mix the elements that you need, right up to full planning.  What you do need to decide is how much you have to spend, and I will help you plan and design a wedding within your budget which is unique and personal to you.  We will discuss priorities and those items that really aren’t that important to you, I will also be open and honest with regards to things that you can’t afford – offering alternatives where appropriate.

Beach Wedding!

Beach Wedding

Dependent upon the weather, a beach wedding can be a unique and memorable occasion that has flair and casualness yet retains the romantic aspect of the freedom of being able to get away to the beach and do as you please.

Beach Wedding

It is also an opportunity to have a wedding that people will remember without the expense that is associated with booking a reception venue and the other expenses that go hand in hand with more formal weddings.

You will need to choose a location where you will be able to have your wedding ceremony without the intrusion of outsiders who could affect your plans and there are other factors that you need to consider including who your guests will be and how they will cope with the conditions as some elderly guests might find it a little bit difficult on the beach.

There are of course always solutions to these problems and most of them are relatively cheap.

If you are living in an area where there are beautiful beaches within a reasonable distance from yourself, your friends and your family, then it is well worth considering a beach wedding because the beach in itself will add beauty to the occasion.

If you cannot rely 100% on the weather then you will need to look at alternative venues should the weather make it unsuitable for you to have your beach wedding.

You will also need to consider the tide times and whether or not there will be sufficient room on the beach for the wedding party to perform the ceremony suitably.

Like any other venue good planning and preparation will make all the difference on the day and even though a beach wedding is a very casual affair there is still certain planning that needs to go into ensuring that there won’t be any problems with that particular setup.

There always many things to think about and doing so well before the wedding is always the best policy.
