Please specify if you require one of our other colors; champagne, rum pink, blush pink, cafe and platinum. If none of these colors are what you need, we can custom dye your veil to match your gown.

All About Veils

Our veils are available with so many variations and options that you will a wonderful time selecting and creating  the perfect veil for you and your gown. Below you will find detailed information about cut, lengths and widths, color, edges and decorations. If you have something specific in mind, not available in our regular wedding veils section, be sure to read about our custom veil service. 

All of our veils are attached to a 4 inch French acrylic comb, 4 inch wire comb in gold or silver or 4 inch velcro. For other attachment options, please email or call 281-251-8286, 719-448-0791 or 713-448-0795

Veil Cut 

 

Classic Cut: The veil in this picture is a Classic Cut veil, also referred to as a top gathered veil.  The veil edging  goes all around the bottom and up the sides of the face--imagine the letter U--gathered across the top. Have as many layers as you like.  The veil shown here has 2 layers, also called tiers.

 

 

Circular Cut: The veil in this picture is a Circular Cut veil, also known as a center gathered veil.  The veil is cut in a circular shape, folded in half, and gathered in the middle to form a veil.  The sides of the veil fall in soft folds.  The bottom edge of the veil has a continuous edge.  This is always a two layer veil.

           

 

 

Cascade Cut: This is a variation of the Classic Cut, but angled on the sides to drape in gentle waves down the sides. This is most effective on a fingertip or longer length veil.

           

 

           

Princess Cut: A Princess Cut veil is angles on the sides to fall gracefully over the shoulders with minimal fullness at the crown of the veil. Best for fingertip or longer length veils.

           

 

 

Flare Cut: This is a variation of the Classic Cut veil with the sides of the veil cut in an A-line shape.  There is less fullness at the crown of the veil and more swing at the bottom. This works for all veil lengths.

           

 

 

Cage: This veil is a true circle worn draped over the top of the head without out any gathering at all.  If desired, a small comb can be sewn into the veil to hold it securely on the head.

          

 

 

Mantilla: The classic Spanish veil interpreted as a wedding veil.  This veil can be as elaborate or as simple as you like, and made in any length. A comb sewn into the edge of the veil holds it securely in place.

          

 

 

Blushers: A blusher is the veil that is worn over the face during the wedding ceremony. This can be the top layer of a two layer veil (I don't recommend this, but it is possible) or it can be a separate piece of veiling made specifically as a blusher.  Many hours went into designing our blushers so that they fall gracefully and slightly away from the face to prevent it from sticking to your makeup. So, if you intend to wear a blusher, I do recommend ordering the separate blusher. Usually this is made detachable, so you can easily remove it after the ceremony.

          

 

 

Veil Lengths and Widths

Standard widths for veils shown in our Wedding Veils pages are either 70 or 104 inches with lengths as stated. like the veil but want a different width or length?  Please call or email us so we can create the veil of your dreams in the exact length and width you desire.

 

Veiling Colors

Color is very important when considering your veil. White, diamond White and Ivory are all standard colors--but every gown manufacturer's colors are a little bit different, so we off a swatch service.  Our standard swatch selection includes white, ivory and diamond white samples of veiling and a selection of out most popular edges; 1/8 inch ribbon, 1/4 inch ribbon, satin cord, soutache braid, and rolled edges in white, silver and gold. Call 281-251-8286, or email us for a set of swatches.
