Silk Veils are luxurious in nature. When a wedding veil is created in Silk Tulle it has a very soft drape and therefore there will be no body in the veil. 

It is possible to order  Silk tulle in two different finishes and two different widths.  We have soft silk tulle available in  (15 colours) and in the firm silk tulle in 5 colours; Ivory, White, Black, Champagne, Rose Red and Pale Pink.

The firmer silk tulle can have an edging added to the veil. 

Both types of silk tulle can have swarovski crystals added to the veil. 

If this Royal Wedding Veil has inspired you look no further than Visionary Veils as we can create bespoke Silk Tulle veils edged with Ivory French Leivers lace.

Kate Middleton Veil

We are able to create our Kate Middleton Veil from Soft Silk tulle and we can add French Lace Edgings to the veil. Soft silk tulle is a very delicate fabric but the laces shown in the image below are either French Leivers Lace or Antique French Lace. The weave is very delicate and therefore it does not plucker or pull the silk Fabric. All of our edgings are applied by hand with  extreme care and delicacy.

Chosing your Kate Middleton Veil

1. Decide your length. We can make the length to your requirements see wedding veil info

Kate's Veil was a drop veil fingertip length as shown above. You can also chose to have the fingertip Veil gathered on a comb which creates a slightly shorter length. (see gallery) or you can have your veil tailored to your requirements.

 How to wear a soft silk tulle wedding veil over your face

The Duchess of Cambridge wore her Silk tulle veil mounted on a beautiful halo tiara. This worked well as the soft silk blusher section was lifted slightly off her face. If you are thinking of chosing a tiara be careful that the headpiece or tiara does not have any rough edges to the diamante, stones or crystals finish as the soft silk can get tangled on the headpiece and pucker. Smooth lines on the headpiece or tiara will reduce this risk.

You can of course select not to wear the front blusher section and have a two layer veil worn behind your head or a one layer veil.
