While your wedding dress is undeniably the most important piece of your wedding day look, a veil has the power to pull your whole ensemble together. Whether you’re drawn to the regalness of Meghan Markle’s cathedral length veil or the modern aesthetic of Bianca Jagger’s courthouse blusher, there are scores of veils out there to complement any bridal look—it's just a matter of finding the right length and color to pair with your dress.

In comes Etsy. In an era when brides have so many choices at their fingertips, there's no better place to shop for a wedding day look that truly sets you apart from the rest. Whether you're on the hunt for something nontraditional and unique (think fringe and color!) or want to make a dramatic entrance in a jaw-dropping allover lace veil, Etsy's vast collection of ready-to-wear wedding accessories knows no bounds.

Read on for the best wedding veils for any and all bridal styles.

We love this accordion style for the bride-to-be looking to enhance a simple wedding dress with an eye-catching veil. Although the pleats are soft and subtle, they give the veil shape and movement. This style is available in four lengths and three comb colors.

The delicate floral details on this ethereal veil make it the perfect option for nuptials set in a backyard or garden. Crafted from light-as-air tulle, this veil was designed to float with you down the aisle. Plus, it comes in over 10 lengths to accommodate any wedding day look.

No matter your wedding dress style, you can never go wrong by pairing your look with a simple and classic veil. This timeless and versatile style from Davie and Chiyo could easily be worn with any bridal outfit, be it a beaded ball gown or a modern sheath dress.

Minimalists searching for a simple and effortlessly elegant veil will love this style handcrafted from a lightweight English net. Available in lengths 90" to 300", this style brings the drama but won't weigh you down.

Delicate pearls and crystals line this sweet and feminine veil. Available in three different colors and lengths from elbow to royal, you'll be sure to find a style that matches your gown perfectly.

If you want to showcase the intricate design of your train, opt for a sheer veil that will complete your look while allowing the details of your dress to shine through.

You can never go wrong with a traditional horsehair trim veil. Your look will remain timeless in photos, plus the added weight of the trim ensures that your veil will actually stay in place for said photos.

Looking for a long veil that's comfortable and won't weigh you down? This dreamy veil is crafted from incredibly soft Angelique French silk and feels like next to nothing when worn. We love it for the bride going for a soft, ethereal look.

If you're a bride-to-be with a minimalist aesthetic, opt for a simple silhouette like a raw edge veil. This one from Yuri Chang Bride would make the perfect finishing touch to any pared-back wedding day look. Wear yours with classic stud earrings and a delicate tennis necklace.

Looking for a veil with a little sparkle? This pretty design from All About Romance will add some shimmer to your ensemble thanks to its crystallized pearl accents scattered across the veiling. Opt to wear your hair down for a more romantic aesthetic.

For the whimsical bride, up the ante on your wedding day with a veil with an eye-catching trim. This Which Goose style is offered in two tulle colors, while the leaf-edging comes in six different colors—including green!

If your wedding dress is simple and unadorned and you're searching for an accessory to embellish your look, opt for a veil with statement-making details like cascading floral appliqués and shimmering pearls.

There is perhaps nothing more classic than a simple satin edge veil. This versatile style will stand the test of time and can be worn with any style of wedding dress from clean and modern to sparkly and embellished.

If you can’t decide between a headpiece or a veil, why not get both? This set comes complete with a regal handmade crystal crown and a soft tulle veil to go with it.

Metallic accessories will never go out of style so why not experiment with gold and silver accents on your wedding day? This single-tier style features silver mica flakes that are sure to capture the light beautifully.

Calling all bold and nature-loving brides. This gorgeous style featuring all-over colorful floral embroidery is all you need to dress up a simple wedding gown–and make an entrance your guests will be talking about for years to come.

What's more glamorous than a veil flocked with cascading pearls and rhinestones? Glittering but not overly sparkly, this drop veil is an utterly romantic choice for those looking to inject a little glitz and glam into their look.

If a long veil isn't quite your style, maintain a simple look that's equally eye-catching courtesy of an elbow-length accessory. Cascading layers of tulle add a unique design element.

Embody the carefree nature of a bohemian-inspired wedding with this ethereal veil. We’re picturing it at a garden venue surrounded by fresh flowers and luscious greenery.

Allover pearl details adorn this ethereal veil made of soft netting. This style is perfect for courthouse nuptials or a formal wedding—just keep jewelry simple and let the veil do all the talking.

Love a vintage-inspired look? This face-framing style feels very Old Hollywood glamour and looks especially striking when paired with a bold red lip and a décolletage-baring dress.

For brides looking for sparkle, this stunning cathedral-length veil complete with individually-set Swarovski crystals will do the trick. As stylish as it is versatile, this veil pairs beautifully anything from a simple slip dress to a bridal pantsuit.

It truly doesn't get more original than this. Fringe trim adds a fresh take and plenty of movement, creating the perfect boho feel as you sashay down the altar. Style with delicate personal jewelry and a bouquet of wildflowers to complete your look.

This exquisite drop veil features a 30" barely-there blusher that drapes beautifully over the face. This style is perfect for the bride who is looking for a veil without a comb.

If you love a celestial theme, but without all the glitter, this veil is for you. The lightly beaded star motifs are the perfect touch to complement a minimalist dress.

When it comes to selecting your wedding veil, it's important to find a style that not only reflects your bridal aesthetic but complements your wedding outfit. If you're wearing a dress with all-over embellishments, you may choose to match your wedding dress with an ornate veil, or alternatively, pair it with a simple veil to highlight the details of the dress. If you're a minimalist bride, you could also go one of two ways. If you want to keep your overall look clean and sleek, then opt for a simple raw edge veil. If you want to add some color or drama to your look, consider a statement-making veil. For the bride whose dress has stunning back details, a short veil or a blusher is an easy way to don a veil and showcase your dress at the same time.

It's completely up to you whether you want to wear a veil or not. While some brides would feel incomplete without a veil, others choose to forgo one entirely. Our advice would be to try on different styles of veils with your wedding dress to determine if it's the right look for you.

The most common wedding veil lengths/styles are Bird Cage, Shoulder-Length, Blusher, Fingertip, Elbow, Knee-Length, Waltz, Floor-Length, Chapel, and Catherdral-Length.

Your veil doesn't necessarily have to match the color of your wedding dress. While some brides prefer to color-match their outfit to their veil, others may choose to experiment with texture and color.
