How do I choose the right veil length for a Juliet cap style?

Juliet cap veils appear slightly shorter than other styles as the measurement is taken from the front of the cap. Our fingertip length is 122cm, ballet 150cm, floor 200cm, church 250cm and cathedral 300cm. To find out more about our veils please read our wedding veil guide or do get in touch!

What is the difference between traditional tulle and silk style tulle for wedding veils?

We offer both traditional tulle and silk style tulle in off white or ivory. Traditional tulle has a classic feel whilst silk style tulle offers a more luxurious drape. Both create beautiful results with the fine pencil edge finish.

How do I store and care for my Juliet cap wedding veil after the wedding?

If you need a way to store your wedding veil please see our veil bag and hanging clip. This will help preserve your veil's delicate pencil edge and ensure it remains in perfect condition for years to come.

Can I add personalised embroidery to my Juliet cap veil?

Yes, you can have your veil hand embroidered with your wedding date and initials. This creates a beautiful personal touch that makes your veil uniquely yours and adds sentimental value for future generations.

How does a Juliet cap veil attach and will it stay secure during my wedding?

A Juliet cap veil is made up of a cap which attaches to your head via two combs positioned above each ear. This secure attachment method was popular with brides from 1910 to the 1940s and remains a favourite with modern day brides for its comfort and reliability throughout the wedding day.
