Knee & Floor Length Veils

8 products

A floor length veil is 72 inches long and ends near the floor. A knee length veil is 45 inches. They're the middle ground: more drama than a short veil, without a train to manage.

A floor length veil gives you a full-length line from behind and frames a full skirt or ball gown. It also works well in a venue without a long aisle, where a trailing veil would bunch up. A knee length veil clears the floor, keeps your skirt in view, and is easy to move in all day.

Where either one lands depends on your height and the comb. Set at the base of an updo, a veil falls at its longest. Set at the crown, it falls shorter. Compare the inches with your own height before you choose.

All come in Light Ivory, the shade that works with nearly every modern wedding dress.

FAQs

How long are knee and floor length veils?

Our knee veils measure 45 inches and our floor veils measure 72 inches. A knee veil ends around your knees and a floor veil ends near the floor. Your height and the comb position change exactly where each one lands.

What is the difference between a floor length veil and a chapel veil?

A floor length veil ends near the floor, while a chapel veil continues into a short train. Our floor veils measure 72 inches and our chapel veils measure 90 inches. Choose a floor veil for a shorter aisle or a full skirt. Choose a chapel veil when you want it to trail behind you.

Will a floor length veil drag on the ground?

A floor length veil can touch the ground, depending on your height and where the comb sits. Set at the base of an updo, the veil falls at its longest. Set at the crown, it falls shorter. Compare the 72 inch length with your own height before you choose.

Is a knee length veil a good middle ground?

Yes, a knee length veil is a good middle ground. At 45 inches, it clears the floor, keeps your skirt visible and moves easily as you walk. It gives more drama than a fingertip veil without the train of a chapel veil.

Which veil length is best for a petite bride?

Petite brides can wear any veil length. Compare the inch measurement with your own height, not the length name. The names assume an average height. Our length chart uses a model who is 5 feet 8 inches tall. On a shorter bride, every veil falls lower.

Does a floor length veil go with a ball gown?

Yes, a floor length veil goes beautifully with a ball gown. It balances a full skirt and frames the dress from behind without adding a train. Set the comb at the middle or base of your head so the tulle falls smoothly over the skirt.
