Selecting the right veil to complement your wedding dress is a crucial decision in achieving your desired bridal look. At Velo Bridal, we understand that this task can be quite challenging, especially with inconsistent names for varieties of white across the industry. Today, we'll delve into the intricacies of choosing between white, off-white, and ivory veils, and provide you with options to ensure a seamless match.
Understanding the Colours
White
Pure, bright, and without any undertones, white is a classic and timeless choice. It pairs beautifully with dresses that have a bright white base. In recent years, there has been a notable shift in bridal fashion, with off-white and ivory veils gaining prominence over the traditional white and ivory, on the other hand, offer a warmth and softness that enhances the bride's natural beauty without overshadowing the ensemble. It's worth noting that there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to matching your dress to your veil.
Ultimately, it's about choosing what makes you feel most beautiful and confident on your special day.
Our White veils are our least popular at Velo Bridal, with most brides going with an off-white or ivory look.
Off-white
Often referred to as "diamond white" or "soft white," off-white has subtle warm or cool undertones. It's a slightly softer hue than pure white, making it a popular choice for brides who want a more subdued contrast. If your dress leans towards a creamy or warmer white, an off-white veil may be the perfect match. Off-white is by far our most popular range colour at Velo Bridal, with this colour being the most versatile to match with most dresses
Ivory
Ivory is a warm, creamy colour with a hint of beige. It's an incredibly versatile shade that complements most ivory gowns. If your dress is labelled as "ivory," this veil colour will likely be the best match.
