How do you wear a mantilla wedding veil?

The 'Adeline' offers two beautiful styling options. You can wear it traditionally at the back of your head, or in mantilla style with the comb positioned at the crown so the delicate lace frames your face. For more styling advice, please read our wedding veil guide or get in touch.

What lace edge does the Adeline veil have?

The 'Adeline' features our Ada lace edging all the way around the veil, creating an elegant border. This delicate lace edge adds subtle detail whilst maintaining the barely there aesthetic. You can view samples to see the beautiful texture and quality of our lace trims.

Can I personalise my mantilla wedding veil?

Yes, you can personalise the 'Adeline' veil with your wedding date and initials through embroidery. This adds a meaningful touch that makes your veil uniquely yours. For all available options, please see our veil embroidery add ons.

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

Proper storage is essential for preserving your handmade veil for years to come. We recommend storing it flat or hanging it properly to prevent creasing of the delicate lace edge. If you need storage solutions, please see our veil bag and hanging clip designed specifically for lace veils.
