The Bandeau Veil
Ensure all eyes are on you with a bandeau veil. Covering the eyes and upper face with a delicately translucent tulle or light Russian netting, the bandeau veil adds an air of mystery and sophistication to complement an alternative look. Achieve a couture inspired look without needing to manoeuvre the length of a full veil.
The Barely There Veil
Fuss-free and floaty, a barely-there veil is versatile and suits most bridal looks. If you’ve chosen a vintage style wedding dress or a dreamy bohemian aesthetic, a barely-there veil is a subtle enhancement that won’t overpower your dress.
The Full Lace Veil
A traditional Spanish wedding veil, the mantilla is characterised by its lace detailing and scalloped edging. Worn over the head and held in place with a comb, alternative brides can achieve a differently dreamy look or enhance the appearance of an understated vintage gown with the intricacies of a lace design.
The Full Lace Edge Veil
Romantic and bohemian, the vintage veil features finely textured tulle and delicate embellishments, adding an ethereal yet timeless appearance as you say your vows. A silk style single veil with eyelash detail lace will help any alternative bride looking to perfect a vintage look.
The Off-White Veil
Add a hint of colour with an off-white veil. Perfect for brides who aren’t taking a white wedding approach to proceedings, the off-white veil offers an unexpected take on a traditional look, contrasting and co-ordinating with a wide variety of distinctive and alternative wedding dresses.
The Juliet Cap Veil
Named after the eponymous Shakespearean character, the vintage-inspired Juliet cap veil features a cloche headpiece and works beautifully with hair worn long for a stunning classic look. For alternative brides looking for a boho-chic touch, a Juliet cap veil is the perfect accessory.
The Russian Net Veil
Popularised in the 1950s, brides looking for a sophisticated vintage aesthetic will enjoy the delicate and nostalgic netting of a birdcage style Russian net veil. Designed to cover the upper face and eyes, Russian net birdcage veils come in a range of shapes and styles from a full headpiece or ornate headband to a bandeau shape complete with a simple comb.
The Personalised Veil
Truly one of a kind, ensure your wedding veil is like no other with a personalised veil. Brides longing for an out of the ordinary veil can add monogrammed initials, the date of the wedding ceremony, or a personal touch that is undeniably and completely you.
The Wedding Cape Veil
Draping the shoulders, and available in a variety of lengths, a wedding cape veil is dramatic, different, and destined for the non-traditional bride. Combining the benefits of a bridal cover up with the beauty of a veil, the wedding cape veil allows the offbeat bride to enjoy the swish and feel of a veil alongside the comfort and convenience of a cover-up.
The Two Comb Veil
Double the style stakes with a two-comb veil. The two-comb veil is a chic way to add an individual twist to a full veil look, and is the veil of choice for alternative brides seeking to enjoy the drape and feel of silk style tulle whilst celebrating her own unique style.
