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

Consider your dress style and venue when selecting from our five lengths. For detailed guidance on choosing the perfect veil length and style, please read our comprehensive wedding veil guide. Our team is also happy to provide personalised advice - do get in touch!

Can I add personalisation to the Emma veil with my wedding details?

Absolutely - personalisation adds a beautiful, meaningful touch to your veil. Add this veil to your shopping bag, then select from our veil personalisation collection. You can add custom veil embroidery including initials, dates, handwriting, flowers and more.

What makes a semi-lace edge veil different from a full lace edge?

The semi-lace edge on the 'Emma' starts 72cm from the comb, leaving the upper section with a clean cut edge. This creates an elegant effect where lace doesn't frame your face or shoulders during the ceremony, but flows beautifully from around wrist level downwards.

How should I store my wedding veil after the ceremony?

Proper storage will help preserve your veil's beauty for years to come. We recommend keeping it flat or carefully hung to prevent creasing. For convenient storage and transport, see our veil bag and hanging clip which provides excellent protection.

What type of tulle is used for the Emma veil?

The 'Emma' is crafted from high-quality traditional tulle in off-white, chosen for its beautiful drape and durability. The tulle provides the perfect foundation for the delicate lace edging while maintaining an elegant, flowing silhouette.
