Frequently Asked Questions
Will a light ivory veil match my ivory dress?
This is one of the most frequent concerns we hear! Rest assured, a light ivory veil typically complements most wedding dress shades beautifully, from pure white to deeper ivory tones. The sheer nature of veil tulle allows it to blend seamlessly with various dress colors.
Should my veil be the exact same shade as my dress?
Your veil should be a close match for your gorgeous dress.
When you wear your veil, it will drape smoothly and naturally, creating an elegant single layer of sheer tulle.
Typically, you'll want to choose a veil in the same shade as your gown. If you're between colors, like light ivory or ivory, go for the lighter option (light ivory) over darker (ivory).
