White
Bright, crisp white
Best with true white gowns. White tulle has a clean, cooler look and will appear noticeably brighter beside warmer bridal fabrics.
BRIDAL VEIL GUIDE
How to Choose a Wedding Veil
Choosing a wedding veil is easier when you break it into four things: length, colour, layers and detail. This New Zealand veil guide explains the differences so you can find a veil that complements your dress rather than competing with it.
Choose the right length
Shorter and fingertip veils create a softer, lighter look, while longer cathedral styles add drama and movement. Your dress silhouette, train and ceremony setting can all help determine which length feels most balanced.
Match the veil to your dress
If your gown already has lace, beading or statement detailing, a simple soft-tulle veil can keep the look refined. Minimal gowns can carry more detailed lace, pearl or cathedral-length veils beautifully.
Think about colour
Match the veil to the overall tone of your gown rather than relying only on the colour name. Bridal whites can vary between fabrics and designers, so use your dress fabric as the guide. White is the brightest option, ivory is softer and warmer, while champagne has a noticeably deeper creamy-golden tone.
Ivory
Soft, warm off-white
Our softer bridal shade with a subtle warmth. Ivory works beautifully with ivory, off-white and many warm-toned gowns without looking yellow.
Champagne
Deeper warm ivory
A deeper, warmer ivory with soft creamy-golden undertones. A beautiful match for champagne, warm ivory, nude-lined and other warmer-toned gowns.
Screen colours can vary, so use this as a guide rather than an exact colour match. If you can, compare your veil with your dress fabric in natural light. Champagne is warmer and more golden than our standard ivory — it is not a beige veil.
Single layer or double layer?
A single-layer veil gives a clean, light look and is a beautiful choice when you want the back of your gown to stay visible. A double-layer veil adds softness and volume. If the shorter top layer is designed to come forward over the face, it is usually called a blusher. Sarah and Eva are examples of layered veils with a blusher option, while Hayley is a simple single-layer cathedral style.
Plain tulle, lace or pearls?
Plain tulle is the most versatile option and works especially well with dresses that already have lace, beading or a statement back. Lace edging adds a traditional romantic finish, while pearl detail gives a softer modern texture. If your dress is minimal, the veil can carry more detail; if your dress is highly embellished, a simpler veil often keeps the overall look balanced.
