When it comes to bridal shopping, wedding cheap prom dresses tend to get all the glory and attention. Wedding veils, however, are equally important. Some brides prefer a vintage-inspired birdcage veil; some brides adorn their heads with a bohemian floral crown; and others yet prefer a traditional, chin or should-length veil.
Today though we're talking about sweeping, ultra-long cathedral-style wedding veils that flow down the bride's back, which are becoming more popular in the contemporary bridal scene..
"I am personally loving the trend of moving back toward long, sweeping veils," says Sarah Ntouskas, a Virginia-based wedding planner and CEO of Make it Posh. "I think they are dramatic and romantic, and they literally look great on everyone."
Photographer Joanna Moss says she's seen a rise in cathedral veil popularity, as well. She says she's worked with some amazing sweeping veils in the last year. "I love working with long veils because they add a lot of dimension to photographs," Moss says. "It adds a romantic and soft look to any wedding dress."
If a long veil is what you envision wearing on your special day, you've come to the right place. Below are some gorgeous options to inspire you — all of which you can shop right now.

This 95" veil combines a classic cathedral silhouette with modern beading and is sure to turn heads.
