Crazy Rich Asians - classic blush veil

The biggest wedding of them all, featuring a multi-layered, embroidered and sparkly gown. When the dress is such a big statement, the veil is usually a supporting character - like here, with the bride wearing a classic blush tulle veil.

Twilight - ivory drop veil with a blusher

The styling of this wedding still serves as an inspiration for many brides even in 2026. The backdrop of the forest with a multitude of flowers contrasts with a simple modern bridal gown. The veil here is another popular style - drop veil with a blusher (that is left behind as a second layer instead of covering the face in this scene).

The Little Mermaid and The Princess and the Frog - barely there veil / light green veil with glitter

Both of these animated films prove that Disney princesses choose similar styles of veils - barely there veil, without any gathering, that covers the hair in the most invisible way. For her second wedding, however, Tiana went all in with the sparkles - choosing a light green veil with glitter. You can add either silver or gold shimmer to any of your veils, they would look especially blinding in sunlight outside!

Mamma Mia! - classic ivory veil with added blusher

If the previous sleek and flat veil styles don’t work for you and you want more volume, consider choosing a classic veil and add a blusher to it, like Sophie in Mamma Mia!

Friends - classic ivory veil with crystals

Monica Geller wore several wedding dresses throughout the series. However, her real bridal style remains most loved and timeless. A sleek satin form-fitting gown is complemented by a classic tulle with almost unnoticeable crystals that sparkle with movement.

Sex and the City - double layered chiffon veil

Charlotte’s second wedding is drastically different from her first one. The classic puffy veil from her first marriage to Trey is replaced with a modern chiffon (or silk) two-layered short veil, reflecting her change of attitude towards big weddings, instead focusing on timeless elegance.
