How do you wear a Spanish mantilla veil?

Mantilla veils are single tier veils that sit just back from the hairline or at the crown of the head. A comb is hand sewn to the underneath of the lace, and mantilla veils have no gather in them. For comprehensive styling advice, read our wedding veil guide.

Can I add personalisation to my mantilla veil?

Yes, you can personalise this veil with your wedding date and initials. Add this veil to your shopping bag and then add custom veil embroidery from our veil personalisation collection. Add initials, dates, handwriting, flowers and more.

What length mantilla veil should I choose?

Our finger tip length veils are 122cm long, ballet length veils are 150cm, floor length veils are 200cm long, church length veils are 250cm and cathedral length veils are 300cm. The choice depends on your dress style and personal preference—longer lengths create more drama whilst shorter lengths offer easier movement.

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

Proper storage is essential for preserving your mantilla veil's delicate lace and tulle. If you need a way to store your wedding veil, please see our veil bag and hanging clip. This will help maintain its shape and protect the intricate lacework for years to come.

What makes a mantilla veil different from other wedding veils?

Mantilla veils, sometimes called Spanish veils, are distinguished by their single tier design with no gathering and beautiful lace edging that frames the face. They sit elegantly at the hairline or crown with a hand-sewn comb attachment. If you'd like to explore more about veil styles, please get in touch with our team.
