Choosing your veil colour

It's almost impossible to judge veil colour accurately from a designer dress photo — lighting, editing and screen settings all change how it appears. Designer colour names aren't reliable either: what one brand calls ivory, another calls white or off-white.

We offer two shades:

Off-white — our palest shade. A soft, clean bridal white with very little warmth or creaminess.

Ivory — warmer and creamier. Best suited to gowns with a soft or traditional ivory tone.

If you are still not sure you can order samples; compare them in natural light against your dress.

Description

The 'Wren' elbow length drop veil with blusher is a single layer of tulle that falls softly over the face for your walk down the aisle, then lifts back to create a gentle double layer. With a clean cut edge and no gathering at the comb, it is a short wedding veil for brides who love tradition but want it pared back. Entirely handmade in our Bath workshop near the historic Bath Abbey, this refined piece becomes a timeless keepsake for future celebrations.

  • Wear the blusher over the face for the ceremony, then lift it back for a soft double layer at elbow length.
  • ✨ Personalise with your wedding date and initials for a truly bespoke touch.
  • Available in soft, fluid silk style tulle, Italian tulle or classic traditional tulle, in off white and ivory.
  • Entirely handmade in Bath by one skilled artisan, ensuring exceptional attention to detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a drop veil?

A drop veil is a single piece of tulle placed over the head with no gathering. The comb sits partway along, so one section falls over the face as a blusher and the rest falls behind. Once the blusher is lifted back, both layers fall together behind you. Our wedding veil guide explains every style and length in more detail.

Can I wear the Wren veil without the blusher over my face?

Yes. Many brides wear the blusher forward for the ceremony and lift it back afterwards, and you can also wear it back all day for a softly layered look. If you have any questions about the Wren veil, please get in touch and we'll be delighted to help.

What's the difference between silk-style and traditional tulle?

Silk-style tulle is very soft and fluid, draping close to the body. Traditional tulle has a little more body and holds a gentle shape. We offer samples so you can feel the quality and see the colour difference between off white and ivory against your dress.

What's the best way to store my short wedding veil after the ceremony?

To preserve your veil beautifully, we recommend our veil bag and hanging clip. This keeps your veil wrinkle-free and protected, making it easy to store as a precious keepsake or bring out for future occasions.

Can I add personalisation to my drop veil?

Yes! You can personalise your Wren veil with your wedding date and initials through our veil embroidery add ons. This creates a truly bespoke piece and adds sentimental value that makes your veil a treasured family heirloom.
