A bridal veil is a unique part of your wedding day, a beautiful mix of tradition and elegance that gives brides their distinctive look on their special day. We offer veils in a wide range of materials, lengths and with various accessories such as personalised embroidery.
At Britten we handcraft thousands of wedding veils every year and we take pleasure in playing a small but vital part in each of our bride’s weddings. We always love to hear from (and see pictures of!) our Britten brides after their big day.
It doesn’t matter if you’re having a quirky bohemian wedding, a traditional church wedding or a country mansion affair, we have a huge range of styles that blend traditional and modern elements for a truly stunning effect.
Every wedding veil is handmade in the Georgian city of Bath. Whether you want a long or short veil, full lace, ivory veil, pure silk or traditional tulle fabric, we will have the right fit for you to match the rest of your outfit.
Our collection includes a beautiful range of wedding veil styles to complement every dress and vision. From classic single tier veils to elegant two tier with blusher veils, each design offers something unique. Our minimal barely there veils—a registered design created in 2016—are perfect for brides wanting to showcase stunning open-back dresses. We also offer romantic drop veils, timeless mantilla veils, vintage-inspired Juliet cap veils, and dramatic wedding capes.
Choose from different wedding veil lengths to suit your ceremony: flowing cathedral length veils for grand churches, graceful chapel veils, floor length, delicate ballet, practical fingertip, or shorter elbow length styles.
Our veils are available in several tulle fabrics. Traditional English tulle, soft Italian tulle, luxurious silk-style tulle, or pure silk tulle. Select from full lace edge wedding veils, semi-lace trim, elegant satin binding, delicate pencil edge, simple cut edge, structured horsehair edge, or beautiful lace motifs scattered throughout.
Choosing a wedding veil comes down to three key considerations: your dress style, your venue, and your comfort. A cathedral veil creates drama in a grand church, while a fingertip length suits an intimate setting beautifully. Consider your dress details too—if you have an open back or intricate lace detailing, a barely there or single tier style lets your gown shine.
Colour matching is essential for a cohesive bridal look. Our veils are available in ivory, off-white, and white, and the difference between ivory vs white wedding veil shades can be subtle but significant against your dress. We offer veil samples so you can see and feel the fabrics and colours at home, ensuring your choice is perfect before ordering.

Every handmade wedding veil in our collection is individually crafted in our workshop just outside Bath, using the finest materials we can source. We work exclusively with Somerset tulle and English lace from an eighth-generation supplier established in 1858—the same heritage firm trusted by royal couturiers. Our luxury bridal veils are finished with silver, gold, or rose gold plated combs, chosen for both their beauty and durability.
Sarah personally oversees quality control for each veil, ensuring every stitch meets our exacting standards before it's carefully packaged and sent to you. This hands-on approach to creating quality wedding veils means you receive something truly special—not mass-produced, but made with care specifically for your wedding day.
All of our wedding veils can be made to custom lengths at no extra charge, ensuring the perfect proportion for your height and dress. If you're looking for something completely unique, our custom wedding veil service lets you work directly with Sarah to create a one-of-a-kind design. We offer personalised wedding veils with custom embroidery options—add your initials, wedding date, or a meaningful phrase in your choice of thread colour.
