Simple Bridal Veils

No, a cut edge veil is not too plain for a formal wedding. It keeps attention on your dress, which suits gowns with beading, lace or structure. For a formal ceremony, choose a chapel or cathedral length, so the plain tulle trails behind you.

A cut edge veil has no finish on its border, while a pencil edge veil has a thin finished edge. The cut edge falls soft and almost disappears against your dress. The pencil edge draws a fine line around the veil, which shows in photos from behind. We make both: the Simple Cut Edge Veil and the Pencil Edge Veil.

Simple veils suit dresses with satin fabric and clean lines. When your dress has little surface detail, a cut edge veil keeps the look calm and modern. Simple veils also suit detailed dresses. Plain tulle lets the beading or lace on your dress stay the focus.

You only need a two layer veil if you want a blusher over your face down the aisle. The blusher is the short front layer, lifted back during the ceremony. Without that moment in mind, a single layer veil is simpler. We make two layer styles such as the 2 Layer Pencil Edge Veil.

Yes, a simple veil works well with a headpiece or hair vine. Plain tulle leaves room for detail in your hair. Place the veil comb first. Then set the headpiece or pin the vine just above it. The headpiece hides the joint, and both sit neatly.

Choose light ivory for a simple veil. Our Light Ivory is a very light shade, refined over 20 years, that sits beside most dresses, even many labeled white. We stopped making white veils because a stark white veil so often looked off next to the dress. A true bright white dress may need a white veil, but that's rare. When your veil arrives, compare it with your dress in daylight, and exchange it free if it's not right.

Yes, a sheer simple veil lets the back of your dress show through. Veils made from ultra sheer illusion tulle are soft enough to see the detail of your dress beneath them. Check the tulle description on the product page if buttons, lace or a low back matter to you.
