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

Consider your dress style and venue - fingertip length (122cm) suits most styles, while cathedral length (300cm) creates drama for formal ceremonies. Our traditional tulle samples help you visualise the colour match. For personalised advice, please get in touch.

What is horsehair edging and why choose it for wedding veils?

Horsehair edging creates gentle structure and beautiful movement without stiffness, giving your veil a sculptural quality that photographs beautifully. Our horsehair edge samples show the elegant finish. It's more delicate than traditional horsehair braids while maintaining that coveted bounce and flow.

How do I wear and style a two-tier wedding veil properly?

The blusher sits over your face during the ceremony and lifts back afterwards, while the main veil drapes behind. The silver plated comb secures easily into updos or half-up styles. For comprehensive styling guidance, read our detailed wedding veil guide.

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

Proper storage preserves your veil's beautiful drape and horsehair structure for future generations. Our veil bag and hanging clip provides the ideal storage solution, preventing creasing while maintaining the veil's shape and allowing air circulation.

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

Every veil is entirely handmade in our Bath workshop by one person, ensuring exceptional attention to detail and quality. This individual craftsmanship means each piece has subtle variations that make it uniquely yours. For more insight into our approach, explore our wedding veil guide.
