How do you wear a mantilla wedding veil?

Mantilla veils sit just back from the hairline or at the crown of the head with a hand-sewn comb underneath the lace. They're sometimes called Spanish veils and have no gathering, creating a smooth, elegant drape. For more guidance, read our wedding veil guide.

Can I see examples of mantilla veils on real brides?

Yes, you can see pictures our mantilla veil brides have uploaded by scrolling through the product images. For more inspiration, visit our blog here.

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

To preserve your mantilla veil properly, we recommend using our veil bag and hanging clip. This keeps the delicate lace protected and prevents creasing, ensuring your veil remains beautiful for years to come.

Can I add personalisation to my mantilla veil?

Absolutely - you can have your veil hand embroidered with your wedding date, initials, or other meaningful details. This creates a truly personal heirloom piece that's uniquely yours.

What makes a mantilla veil different from other wedding veils?

Mantilla veils are single-tier with no gathering, creating a smooth silhouette that allows your dress to show completely. The lace edge frames the face beautifully when worn at the crown. If you need help choosing, please get in touch for personalised guidance.
