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.
An ultra-sheer barely-there veil finished with a subtle crystal scatter, catching the light beautifully without overpowering the gown. Handmade entirely in Bath, this elegant piece becomes a cherished heirloom to treasure long after your wedding day.
Made in our Bath workshop, a stone's throw from the Abbey. Each piece is crafted individually—never mass-produced or imported.
We source materials from specialist mills and suppliers in England, Italy and the USA, selected for quality and longevity.
Every order arrives beautifully wrapped and ready to gift. No additional packaging needed—just hand it over. Presented in our signature keepsake box with grosgrain ribbon.
Founded by Sarah, Britten is an independent atelier seen in The Crown on Netflix, featured in Vogue and Style Me Pretty.
"The delicate crystal scattering twinkles on the veil as you move" — Sarah, Founder
Our wedding veil guide provides detailed advice on selecting the perfect length. Generally, fingertip (122cm) suits most dress styles, whilst cathedral length (300cm) creates dramatic impact for formal ceremonies.
Absolutely—samples of the crystal scatter on tulle are available here, so you can see the scale and sparkle in person. This helps you visualise how the crystals will complement your dress.
Both create a beautiful drape, but Italian tulle has a slightly crisper feel whilst silk-style tulle is softer and more fluid. Order samples of both Italian tulle and silk-style tulle to feel the difference.
Our veil bag and hanging clip keeps your barely-there veil safe and wrinkle-free for years. The breathable storage protects the delicate crystals whilst maintaining the tulle's beautiful drape.
