*Please note updated design as described below*
The ANDREA VEIL was an immediate hit with Brides. A fine sheer soft tulle veil with a draped cowl back this veil works perfectly with backless dresses or those with a highly detailed back. A contemporary twist on the traditional veil.
Designed to be worn alone or with a complementary headpiece the ANDREA veil works great with pins, side combs and inverted crowns. It is finished with simple snap combs and delicate handbeaded ends featuring ivory Swarovski pearls. The veil can be easily clipped into the hair.
Style it
This veil can introduce a grecian feel when worn with floaty or floral themed dresses or theme it with an Art Deco dress for an ether real vintage look. For a truly Boho look theme her with a floral crown.
The Andrea veil has a deep draped back and the veil is cut in a narrow pattern so it is light and very linear. A slightly heavier bodied version with a more shallow drape is available called ALANNAH (see seperate listing)
The ANDREA veil can be clipped onto the back of the dress to be worn as a cape perhaps for the evening celebrations.
***
NOTE: Due to repeat bridal requests this design has recently been updated to be finished with simpler ends featuring snap combs and simple beaded detailing.
Additional beaded drapes can be added in either ivory or silver lined clear crystal beads. The drapes are sewn into the veil.
Colours -
Bridal Ivory
A neutral bright ivory shade that tones in with many dresses. Please view last photo in listing to see the veil hanging amongst different bridal gowns that show how versatile the colour is.
A bright fresh and neutral off-white shade that works perfectly with brighter ivory toned dresses.
Warm Ivory
A slightly warmer toned ivory than above. The warm ivory suits dresses with a warmer undertone or cream shade. There us very little between the two shades but this colour complements warmer toned ivory gowns beautifully.

Length guide
Floor just hits the floor and trails a little behind the bride. A great choice if you want the drama of a veil but no looking after it. This length will sit on the train of a gown and the raw edge means it will almost melt into the gown so you won't see where one ends and the other begins.
Chapel a very popular choice at 90" this veil trails nicely behind the bride. Longer than most short dress trains the chapel length will sit longer than the end of the dress.
Cathedral A more dramatic choice at 110" this veil is quite long and is best suited to dresses with a longer train. Because of the soft draping of this style veil it tends to bunch together and so it is best worn nearest to the length of the dress or just slightly over, that way the veil rests on the dress and this helps it sit nice and wide.
Royal Cathedral The most dramatic length available off-the-shelf. The Royal Cathedral veil is a real regal choice. Think of any of the royal weddings and you immediately picture those long trailing veils. A beautiful choice but one that requires a little bit of minding due to the length.
