Bridal Veil Color Comparison
The Bridal Illusion fabric used to make our veils is so sheer that it is
nearly impossible to correctly photograph them using any type of flash
phography--they all end up looking white. For that reason, we do provide the following photos as examples only of the veil colors offered by VeilShop.com.
Please do not base the color selection of your veil on the colors seen on your computer screen, especially if your are ordering a non-returnable custom veil. These colors can look quite different from computer to computer.
To be sure, we highly suggest ordering our veil fabric swatches for true color comparisons. They are priced at $5.00, but come with a $5.00 gift certificate that can be used toward your veil purchase, so they are ultimately free!
When doing a color comparison, please keep the following in mind:
- The swatches have several layers of fabric folded over to make the color more evident--if we only gave you one piece, and you lined them up side by side, you would be hard pressed to see any color differences among all 10 colors
- Most veils will not have nearly the depth of color in them that you see on this page or in the fabric swatches
- A single layer veil will have very little color to it as compared to a 3 layer veil (more fabric = darker color)
- The highest concentration of color in a veil will be where it is gathered at the comb, if a comb is used
- Base your color selection on the tones present in the swatch, NOT in the depth of color
| Color Name
| Description
| 
| White
| | 
| Diamond White
| - Off-white
- At first glance these veils appear white, but when held against a white gown the subtle color shading can look "dirty"
- Works best for white silk, which is not a pure white color
- Warning: If your gown says ivory but looks white, this color is usually too light for it (we get many exchanges for this reason)
| 
| Light Ivory
| - Very light ivory
- If your gown is called ivory but looks white, this is usually best choice
- Slight yellow tones, but no red
| 
| Dark Ivory
| - darker yellow tones, but no red
- Works best for darker, antique ivory bridal gowns
| 
| Champagne | - Almost identical to light ivory, but a bit more creamy (less of the yellow tones)
- This is NOT a brown champagne color
| 
| Light Gold
| - Darker than dark ivory, but more gold color than yellow
| 
| Peach
| - Peach color, with very slight pink tones
| 
| Oyster
| - Taupe color with light grey tones
| 
| Mocha
| - Very similar to peach, but with very light brown tones
| 
| Pink Blush
| - Very light pink tones (highly exaggerated in this photo)
- This color actually looks white until held next to a white veil
