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

'Valentina' is a floral lace mantilla wedding veil edged with bold guipure lace flowers, with the lace edge running all the way around. Blooms in raised relief alternate with delicate scalloped rounds, so the lace frames the face and falls along the train as if it were hand-drawn. Below the lace, sheer, lightweight tulle lets your dress show completely. It is romantic and sculptural, and made to be remembered.

  • Single-tier mantilla style sits at the crown with hand-sewn comb underneath the lace.
  • ✨ Personalise with your wedding date and initials. For more options see veil embroidery add ons.
  • Available in traditional tulle in off white or ivory colours.
  • Made to order in our Bath workshop - a bespoke item crafted specifically for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you wear a floral lace mantilla veil?

Mantilla veils sit just back from the hairline or at the crown of the head, held by a hand-sewn comb underneath the lace. They're sometimes called Spanish veils and have no gathering, so they drape smoothly with the lace framing your face. For more guidance, read our wedding veil guide.

Which length should I choose for Valentina?

Cathedral length (300cm) shows off the floral lace best, with flowers trailing along the full train behind you. Fingertip and ballet lengths suit more relaxed dresses or a lighter look. If you're unsure, please get in touch and we'll help you choose.

How should I store my mantilla wedding veil after the wedding?

To preserve your mantilla veil, we recommend our veil bag and hanging clip. It keeps the lace protected and stops creasing, so your veil stays beautiful for years to come.

Can I add personalisation to my mantilla veil?

Absolutely - you can have your veil embroidered with your wedding date, initials, or other meaningful details. It turns your veil into a personal heirloom.

What makes Valentina different from your other mantilla veils?

Valentina has a bolder, more sculptural guipure lace than our classic mantillas, with large raised flowers that stand out against the sheer tulle. It's a statement veil for brides who want the lace to be part of the look. If you need help choosing, please get in touch.
