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

Our Lila veil is a beautifully soft, barely there wedding veil, cut in our signature waterfall style and finished with a delicate cotton edge.

Designed as a single tier with no gather at the comb, this veil creates the appearance of a two-tier veil as it falls in gentle, fluid curves around the shoulders. The waterfall cut gives a natural, romantic shape while maintaining a clean and modern silhouette.

Made from our premium Italian tulle, Lila has a soft, luxurious drape with just a touch of structure, allowing it to hold its shape while still feeling light and effortless to wear.

The fine cotton edge adds a subtle definition to the veil, gently tracing the outline and enhancing the soft movement of the tulle without overpowering its simplicity.

Each veil is handmade to order in our Bath studio and attached to a discreet comb, allowing it to sit naturally in the hair.

  • Waterfall cut barely there design with no gather, attached to a comfortable comb for secure wear.
  • Personalise with your wedding date and initials for a truly bespoke touch.
  • Crafted from premium Italian tulle available in off white and ivory shades.
  • Entirely handmade in Bath by one skilled artisan, ensuring exceptional attention to detail.

How do I learn more about different wedding veil styles and lengths?

Our comprehensive wedding veil guide explains all veil lengths, cuts, and styling options. If you have specific questions about the Amber veil, please get in touch and we'll be delighted to help.

Can I see the Italian tulle material before ordering my veil?

Absolutely! We offer Italian tulle samples so you can feel the quality and see the colour difference between off white and ivory. This helps ensure the perfect match with your wedding dress.

What's the best way to store my cotton edge 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.

How does the waterfall cut differ from other veil styles?

The waterfall cut creates a natural, flowing drape without any gathering at the comb, giving our barely there aesthetic. This creates beautiful movement while maintaining clean lines that won't compete with your dress details or overwhelm petite frames.

Can I add personalisation to make my cotton edge veil more meaningful?

Yes! You can personalise your Lila 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.
