Choosing your veil colour

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.

If you are still not sure you can order samples; compare them in natural light against your dress.

How do you wear a drop wedding veil?

We sew a descreet comb to our drop veils so they can be easily secured in your hair. They have no gathering, creating a smooth, elegant drape. For more guidance, read our wedding veil guide.

Can I see examples of drop veils on real brides?

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

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

To preserve your drop 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 drop 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 drop veil different from other wedding veils?
