Before the wedding planning begins, you'll have to decide on your look. Are you a boho bride? Sporty? Classic and traditional? Every woman getting married has her own idea of how she wants to look and feel on the big day. And just like wedding gowns, no two veils are exactly the same. Some brides might favor a long cathedral option, while others will skip it altogether for a floral crown. It all boils down to your personality and the wedding theme or location. Since there's no one-size-fits-all veil, we rounded up 14 pieces that cater to every type of bride. BHLDN's Senior Stylist Caroline Dilsheimer even offered pro tips on the types of veils [insert your bridal personality] should look for and styling tricks.

For the Boho Bride

Tip from Caroline: Infuse texture through embroidery. Look for a veil with motifs like this one ($375) inspired by nature for a truly boho look!

For the Modest Bride

Tip from Caroline: A veil can double as shoulder coverage for traditional church weddings. Choose one with two layers, like this Athena Cathedral Veil ($340), for added opacity.

For the Extravagant Bride

Tip from Caroline: An over-the-top gown coupled with an extravagant veil can be distracting and overwhelming. Be sure to avoid accessory overload. Choose one statement and let the rest of your look support. For the bride in search of an exquisite, showstopping veil, go with a cascading lace option ($1,000).

For the Bride on a Budget

Tip from Caroline: A simple veil ($180) can have just enough presence to elevate your look, or borrow a friend's veil to save room in the budget. A vintage veil is another cost-effective option, but you'll want to be sure it has been properly stored to avoid damage.
