Veil Colors
To the uninitiated, veil color seems a non-issue: white. In reality, the choice is much more involved. White is actually one of several colors: pure white, winter white, and ivory. Each white has its own variations, but you needn't match your dress perfectly. Allow for some color variation, which will allow your guests to see the veil's detailing. If you do vary the color, most experts recommend wearing a veil a shade or two lighter than the gown for a put-together look. Also, choose similar tones and intensities for your gown and veil. If you have a champagne gown, for example, opt for an ivory veil with similar yellow undertones, rather than pure or diamond white. White wedding veilThis is the true "stark" or bright white with no tinting. Wear it only if your gown is simply white. This color looks beautiful with a white satin gown but also goes well with white lace, cotton, or chiffon. Diamond, winter silk or off-whiteThis shade has a different name depending on the material or designer: diamond, winter silk, off-white, or light ivory. Whatever the name, it is a soft white, between pure white and ivory in color. This white goes well with white silk and other gowns with a natural or lightest ivory appearance. Ivory veilIvory is an off-white, yellow-tinted hue. Variations range from light eggshell to a cream color. Lighter shades go well with light ivory gowns, while creamy ivory or champaign gowns look beautiful under the darker shades. Colored and blush veilsThe traditional shades above are most common, but you have other options, such as light blush tints and darker colors. You can even order black and red bridal veils online! Some other, less intense shades you might consider include:
