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.

How do I choose the right veil length for my wedding dress?

Our veils range from fingertip (122cm) to cathedral length (300cm), each creating a different bridal silhouette. For detailed guidance on selecting the perfect length for your dress style and venue, please read our wedding veil guide or get in touch for personalised advice.

Can I add personalised embroidery to my wildflower wedding veil?

Yes, you can beautifully personalise your Ophelia veil with your wedding date and initials. We offer various veil embroidery add ons to complement the existing wildflower design. You can also explore our full range of veil hand embroidered options.

How should I store my embroidered wedding veil after the ceremony?

Proper storage is essential for preserving your veil's delicate embroidery and tulle fabric. We recommend our specially designed veil bag and hanging clip, which allows your veil to hang naturally without creasing. This protects the colourful wildflower embroidery and maintains the veil's beautiful drape.

What makes Britten wedding veils different from mass-produced alternatives?

Every Britten veil is entirely handmade in our Bath workshop by one skilled artisan, ensuring exceptional attention to detail and quality. The wildflower embroidery on the Ophelia veil is carefully hand-stitched, creating a unique piece that reflects true British craftsmanship. You can meet our friendly team to learn more about our artisanal approach.

How do I determine which tulle fabric is right for my veil?

We use traditional tulle for our wildflower veils, available in both off-white and ivory to perfectly complement your dress. To help you choose the ideal colour match, we offer traditional tulle samples. This allows you to compare the fabric against your dress before making your final selection.
