When your handcrafted veil appears in the pages of Vogue, it's a moment that reminds you why you do what you do. We're thrilled to see our Juliet cap veil, finished with delicate Millie lace, featured in Dominique and Vincent's stunning wedding in New York — our second Vogue feature in just six months.

Dominique chose a custom floor-length juliet cap veil from our collection, finished with our signature Millie lace edging. But what made this veil truly extraordinary was a deeply personal finishing touch — Vincent's grandmother hand-sewed vintage silk flowers onto the cap's sides just days before the wedding. It's the kind of detail that gives us goosebumps, and exactly why we love what we do here at Britten.

This is our second feature in Vogue in six months, following Arianna's cathedral veil on the wild Kerry coast late last year. To see our handcrafted wedding veils celebrated on this stage — twice — is incredibly meaningful for a small family studio in Bath.

A Juliet Cap Veil with History Sewn Into Every Stitch

Juliet cap veils have a timeless romance about them. Inspired by the Renaissance-era caps worn by actresses playing Shakespeare's Juliet, they sit gracefully on the crown of the head and frame the face beautifully. They're one of the most distinctive veil styles we make, and they carry a sense of old-world elegance that few other designs can match.

Dominique's version took this heritage and made it entirely her own. By choosing our Millie lace — a delicate French-inspired lace with a softly scalloped edge — she created a veil that felt both classic and contemporary. The floor-length cut gave the veil real presence and movement, trailing behind her as she walked.

But it's the story behind the finishing touch that truly sets this veil apart. Vincent's grandmother hand-sewed vintage silk flowers onto the sides of the cap just days before the ceremony. That kind of intergenerational detail — a grandmother's careful needlework woven into a bride's veil — is what transforms a beautiful accessory into a genuine family heirloom. It's a reminder that the most meaningful wedding details are often the ones you can't find in a shop.

"When brides take one of our veils and add their own personal details, it becomes something so much more than an accessory. Knowing that Vincent's grandmother sat down and sewed those flowers on by hand — that's exactly the kind of love story that makes this work so special. Our Juliet cap veils are designed to be a canvas for moments like this." — Sarah, Founder

Styling a Juliet Cap Veil

One of the things we love about Juliet cap veils is their versatility. They look stunning with a wide range of hairstyles, from loose vintage waves to structured low buns. Because the cap sits on the crown rather than attaching with a comb at the back, it creates a completely different silhouette to a traditional veil — one that frames the face and draws the eye upward.

Dominique's choice to wear hers at floor length is a lovely example of how this style can carry real drama without feeling heavy or overwhelming. A shorter Juliet cap veil — say fingertip or waltz length — gives a more relaxed, bohemian feel. At floor or cathedral length, it becomes a statement piece that photographs beautifully from every angle.

If you're considering a Juliet cap veil for your own wedding, think about how the cap itself can be personalised. Like Dominique, many of our brides add their own details — from hand-sewn crystals to family brooches. It's a style that invites personal touches, which is partly why it has endured for centuries. For more guidance, our comprehensive wedding veil guide covers every style, length and fabric option to help you find the right match.

Two Vogue Features in Six Months

We'd be lying if we said we weren't pinching ourselves. Seeing our veils featured in Vogue Australia comes just months after Arianna's cut edge cathedral veil appeared in Vogue Adria, photographed against the dramatic Kerry coastline in Ireland. Two very different veils, two very different weddings, but both sharing the same handcrafted quality that every Britten veil is made with.

For a small, independent studio run by our founder Sarah from our workshop in Bath, these moments are genuinely overwhelming. Sarah founded Britten in 2011, and every single veil is still handcrafted by our small team using couture-quality materials sourced from England and Italy. We don't mass-produce, we don't cut corners, and we never will. These Vogue features feel like a recognition of that commitment — and of the incredible brides who choose to wear our veils on their most important day.

Whether your veil ends up in the pages of Vogue or simply in the hearts and memories of the people who matter most to you, it's made with exactly the same care and attention. That's a promise.

Completing Your Bridal Look

A Juliet cap veil like Dominique's pairs beautifully with understated accessories that let the veil take centre stage. Our bridal earrings collection includes delicate drop and stud designs that complement a vintage-inspired look without competing for attention. For brides going for the romantic, heirloom feel that Dominique achieved, a pair of simple pearl or crystal earrings is often all you need.

If you're drawn to the vintage aesthetic of a Juliet cap but want to explore other veil styles too, have a look at our lace veil collection for veils featuring Millie lace and other edging options across different lengths and styles. We also offer a bespoke veil service where you can work directly with Sarah to design something completely unique — just as Dominique did.
