In the past, I would caution brides against extra long veils if getting married outdoors since veils and wind just do not seem to get along. We have even had a veil fly off a bride's head as she made her way down her beachfront aisle. At certain oceanfront locations where the wind consistently blows from the left to the right (when facing the bride and groom as a guest), we have suggested switching the orientation of the bridal party, having the groom and his men instead on the left, and the bride and her maids on the right so that her veil blows away from her face, and not into her groom's.
Fortunately, these ways of addressing wind and veils can now be a problem of the past with the recent invention of veil weights! It comes as no surprise that a wedding planner devised this brilliant solution to the animosity formerly found between wind and veil, and her company Save the Veil, offers a pretty assortment of decorative magnetic weights to save the day. The weights come in sets of six and can easily be placed and removed from the veil so that you can have them on just when you need them.
Mahalo to Jill Watson of The Pampered Bride in California for creating a wonderful and unique solution for veils on windy days!
