How do I choose the right veil length for my wedding dress?

Consider your dress style and venue when selecting length. For guidance on finding your perfect match, read our comprehensive wedding veil guide. If you need additional advice, get in touch with our team.

Can I add personalised embroidery to this pencil edge veil?

Yes, you can personalise this veil with your wedding date and initials through our veil embroidery add ons. For additional personalisation options, browse our hand embroidered veil collection.

How should I store my wedding veil after the ceremony?

Proper storage preserves your veil's condition for years to come. Our veil bag and hanging clip provides the perfect storage solution. This keeps your veil wrinkle-free and protected from damage.

What's the difference between off white and ivory tulle for veils?

Off white has cooler undertones whilst ivory has warmer, creamier tones. We recommend ordering our traditional tulle samples to compare against your dress. Both options feature our signature ivory pencil edge finish.
