WEDDING VEIL COLOURS

Veils are available in a wide variety of colours to suit the diverse tastes of bridal fashion. Although the veiling cannot be an exact colour match, the veil when draped in a single layer over the gown should be almost invisible, taking on much of the gown colour through it, unless of course you prefer a contrast!
This photograph will give you an idea of the shades and how they compare to each other. If you are not totally sure which colour to choose then please telephone for a veiling swatch. We will issue two colours free of charge 0845 4662266 - but if you would prefer the full selection of 8 colours then please purchase these from the sample menu on the main website here.

These photographs and colour descriptions are for guidance only. The choice of colour that you order is totally your responsibility. As veils are made to order they cannot be exchanged or refunded if they do not match your wedding dress.

HALF GATHER - is more traditional, where the combed area has fullness of veiling which hangs in gathers around the shoulders. This is sometimes referred to as the ''Drop Shoulder'', as the sides of the veil fall onto the shoulders in folds.

Choosing a Scatter bead
Scatter beading is a way of adding decoration to your wedding veil. fairly plain veils can be enhanced with a little scatter beading. If your gown is beaded then you could match your wedding veil to the beading on your wedding dress! Scatter beading is available in pearls, crystals or diamante.

The pearls are available in white, ivory or black and will be added to match your veiling colour, unless specified otherwise.
ie; a white veil would be scattered with white pearls etc.

The Crystals are AB swarovski crystals. This means that they are predominantley classed as clear but shine with the colours of the spectrum (like a rainbow). These are particularly sparkly, but don't look too obvious against the gown.

The Diamantes are flat backed crystals mounted onto silver backs, therefore giving an overall silver appearance. These are sometimes referred to as Rhinestones.
They are more visible than crystals, and are better suited to silvery themes.
