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.
This style is offered in three 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.
Champagne — warmer still, with a soft golden tone. Pairs well with champagne, blush or warm-ivory gowns.
This style is offered in ivory only — a warm, creamy shade best suited to gowns with a soft or traditional ivory tone.
Off-white is shown alongside in the image for reference, so you can see how ivory compares.

If you are still not sure you can order samples; compare them in natural light against your dress.

"I love this polka dot veil, a great alternative to lace edged veils. The scattered dots create such beautiful movement and catch the light wonderfully." — Sarah, Founder

Proper storage is essential for preserving your veil's delicate polka dot tulle. We recommend storing it flat or carefully hung to prevent creasing. If you need a storage solution, please see our veil bag and hanging clip designed specifically for wedding veil care.
A barely there veil like 'Dorothy' has no gather at the comb, creating a natural, effortless drape that moves beautifully with you. The polka dot pattern adds subtle texture without overwhelming your dress details. This style is perfect for brides wanting veil tradition with modern, understated elegance.
The scattered polka dots on 'Dorothy' are deliberately subtle and complement rather than compete with dress details. The barely there style with cut edge finish ensures your gown remains the focal point while adding a playful, vintage-inspired touch. The pattern photographs beautifully and catches light without being overwhelming.
