How do I choose the right length for a polka dot wedding veil?

Our polka dot veil 'Dorothy' comes in six lengths from 72cm elbow to 300cm cathedral. For detailed guidance on selecting the perfect length for your dress and venue, please read our wedding veil guide. You can also get in touch for personalised advice.

Can I personalise my polka dot wedding veil with embroidery?

Yes, you can beautifully personalise 'Dorothy' with your wedding date and initials. The delicate embroidery complements the polka dot pattern perfectly. For the full range of personalisation options, please see our veil embroidery add ons.

How should I store my polka dot wedding veil after the wedding?

Proper storage is essential for preserving your veil's delicate polka dot tulle. We recommend storing it flat or carefully hung to prevent creasing. If you need a storage solution, please see our veil bag and hanging clip designed specifically for wedding veil care.

What makes a barely there veil different from other wedding veil styles?

A barely there veil like 'Dorothy' has no gather at the comb, creating a natural, effortless drape that moves beautifully with you. The polka dot pattern adds subtle texture without overwhelming your dress details. This style is perfect for brides wanting veil tradition with modern, understated elegance.

Will the polka dot pattern work with a detailed wedding dress?

The scattered polka dots on 'Dorothy' are deliberately subtle and complement rather than compete with dress details. The barely there style with cut edge finish ensures your gown remains the focal point while adding a playful, vintage-inspired touch. The pattern photographs beautifully and catches light without being overwhelming.
