Stumped about which veil colour to choose? You’re not alone!
This is one of the most common questions we get from brides, and we’re always happy to help. If you’re unsure, our go-to recommendation is our Classic Veil in ‘Off-White’—a beautifully versatile shade that complements most bridal gowns. It’s softer than stark white but lighter than ivory, making it a perfect match for both white and ivory dresses, as well as the many shades in between!
Understanding Bridal Veil Colours
Bridal gowns come in a huge variety of white, off-white, ivory and champagne tones, which is why choosing the right veil colour is key to achieving a seamless look.
The biggest mistake we see? Brides assuming a ‘White’ veil is the best match simply because their dress is white. In reality, ‘White’ is a bright, cool-toned shade—think snow white or Arctic white. Unless your gown is an exact match, a stark white veil can stand out in your photos and on your special day.
A Simple Trick to Find Your Perfect Veil Shade
Want an easy way to determine the best veil colour for your gown? Try this:
- Grab a plain white printer paper.
- Hold it next to your dress or a swatch of your gown’s fabric.
-
If your dress looks warm against the paper → Off-White or Ivory is your best choice.
- Think of Off-White as a soft, light ivory, while Ivory is a richer, more traditional ivory.
- If you need an even richer, warmer colour then champagne is the colour for you!
- If your dress looks cool-toned and blends with the paper → A White veil will be the best match.
