The Second Look

A two tier blusher veil that falls to the shoulder, edged with a beaded pearl trim worked along the outline. The pearls sit close to the face, which is where a short veil is actually seen. In the reveal at the top of the aisle and in every photograph taken at arm's length. Worn forward it reads traditional; flipped back it becomes a reception shape, which is why it works as easily over a mini or a corset dress as it does at the ceremony.

This veil comes in three colors. Ivory, a soft warm white, is held in stock and ships within 3–5 business days. Cream, a deeper and creamier ivory, and Champagne are made to order for you: each adds $20, ships within 2–4 weeks, and is final sale.

We photograph our veils in daylight, so what you see here is close to what arrives, though every screen renders tone a little differently. If you are unsure which shade suits your gown, email us a daylight photo of your dress and we will tell you honestly which one we would choose.

For this veil: pair it with bridal minis, structured corset dresses, strapless reception looks, and simple after-party styling: dresses that are short or sharp enough for a long veil to fight with.

• Soft bridal tulle, two tier with a blusher layer. Comb attachment. Ivory as standard; Cream and Champagne made to order.
• Beaded pearl trim worked along the veil edge.

• Blusher layer: 50 cm (19.5 in) from the comb
• Main layer: 60 cm (23.5 in) from the comb

At 23.5 in the main layer falls just past the shoulders, at or above the collarbone at the back.

Deciding between lengths? The Veil Length Guide shows how to measure the drop against your own height, and the reception and second look guide covers how to plan a shorter veil for later in the night.

Shipping. Ivory is in stock. Your order leaves our warehouse within 3–5 business days and we email you a tracking number the day it goes out. Standard shipping is free on every US order with no minimum (USPS Ground Advantage, 3–5 business days in transit), so most orders arrive inside two weeks. We ship within the United States only at this time.

Made-to-order colors. Cream and Champagne are made for your order and ship within 2–4 weeks. Because they are made to order, they are final sale and cannot be returned.

Returns. You have 14 days from delivery to start a return. The veil needs to come back unworn, with tags attached, in its original packaging. Return shipping is a flat $15, deducted from your refund; prepaid return labels are available inside the US only. If a veil comes back with makeup, foundation, perfume, stains, or hair on it, a $20 cleaning fee is deducted as well. If it comes back damaged, we email you before we process anything. What we deduct depends on whether the piece can be restored.

Store the veil loosely folded in the bag it arrives in, away from direct sunlight. Tulle takes a crease from tight folding and from heat, so give it room.

To release fold lines, hang the veil in a bathroom while you run a hot shower for 20–30 minutes, or steam it from about 20 cm (8 in) away on the lowest setting. Never press a hot iron directly onto tulle, lace, pearls, or fabric flowers.

Spot clean only, with cold water on a white cloth, testing an inside corner first. For anything larger than a small mark, take it to a dry cleaner who handles bridal pieces rather than washing it at home.
