Keira Knightley's wedding veil in the Waitrose Christmas advert
Keira Knightley wears a wedding veil in the new Waitrose Christmas advert, and I'm almost certain it's our 'Eleanor'.
Why I think it's ours
At the end of July an order came in from London for an 'Eleanor' veil, needed in a few days from Keira Knightleys stylist. We made it and sent it. Then they asked for a second one, exactly the same, just as fast.
One bride doesn't need two identical veils. A film set keeps a spare. We asked what they were for and never heard back, and that was that until the advert came out.
Nobody has confirmed it to us yet, which is why I say almost. We have no connection with Waitrose or the people who made the advert. If I'm wrong I'll say so here.
The veil
Eleanor is a drop veil with a cut edge and no gather at the comb, so it lies flat and very sheer. The blusher is 100cm, which is longer than usual and falls past the waist.
The two we sent to London were ivory, fingertip length, in traditional tulle. That veil is £145 today. It also comes in off white, in silk style or Italian tulle, and in longer lengths up to cathedral.
Every veil is made to order in Bath, from the first cut to the last stitch.
