With years of experience making custom-made bridal veils and accessories for brides with unique tastes, Madame Tulle is your go-to place for your exquisite veil needs. Our team of craftsmen can produce a bridal veil that speaks to you and gives you peace of mind on your wedding day and long after.
Among our exquisite offerings include a mantilla veil, a wedding veil rich in intricate embroidery that can be designed in most lengths. Keep reading to know more about this veil.
The word “mantilla” comes from the Spanish word “manta” or “blanket.” In the old days, women wore mantilla veils whenever they went to church, whether for a regular mass or wedding, as it was customary at the time.
The defining feature of these veils is their ornate patterns straddling the veil’s edge. The list of possible design characteristics is lengthy, if not endless, ranging from a scalloped lace edge to floral embroidery. Some wedding veils incorporate multiple features, making them unique.
Today, the tradition of wearing a mantilla remains at weddings, though exclusive to the bride. If you want a veil that screams classic, a mantilla veil is for you.
A mantilla wedding veil can be crafted out of silk or lace. At Madame Tulle, however, we favour the lace mantilla veil because it’s easier to work with and keeps costs down for you, all while enhancing your natural look with the wedding dress. Timeless elegance doesn’t need to carry a hefty price tag.
These veils can be crafted in various lengths. However, bringing out the full spectrum of their decorative elements requires a large enough surface area to accommodate them. Because of this, we recommend a minimum of shoulder length for a lace mantilla veil, which is at least 20 inches (51 cm) long.
As for the maximum length, the sky’s the limit. We can create mantilla wedding veils as long as cathedral length and custom lengths. We can also provide the right accessories to complement the veil and hold it in place should you require them.
Chapel length mantilla veils typically extend to the floor, while cathedral length veils trail behind. Consider your gown's train and venue size. For a classic look, opt for chapel length, and for added drama, choose cathedral length. Measure carefully to ensure the perfect lace edge complements your dress.
