Veils are available in different lengths, and 7 of them were given their own distinctive name. At Poirier there are veils available in different lengths, from 75 cm (elbow-length) all the way up to 4 m (queen-length).

• 75 cm • Choose authenticity with a modern twist, because this is what elbow-length veils are all about. This type of veil is an elegant way to have a cover without wearing a full-on bolero or scarf.

• 120 cm • Fingertip-length veils are very popular, because they show the details on the skirt of a bridal gown. Not too short, not too long, but elegant nonetheless!

• 210 cm • You take this type of veil off at the reception.

• 280 cm • A veil with chapel-length creates the illusion of wearing a train.

• 300 cm • Slightly more spectacular than the chapel length and more practical than the cathedral length.

• 350 - 400 cm • Opt for a royal entrance with this type of veil.

At Poirier we also have a circular type of veil available. This veil type has its origins in Spain, and is also known as a “Spanish veil” or “mantilla”.

At Poirier there is always a veil that seamlessly matches your wedding dress. The most popular colour is ivory.

When designing a veil, the best type of tulle for the particular veil is considered. Should the veil fall a little narrower, soft tulle is used. Should the veil have a bit more body, or heavier lace or applications, then medium tulle is used.

Veils come in different varieties, it is up to you to choose a beautiful veil without or with blusher. A blusher is a double-layered veil that covers the face before the vows are said. You can also opt for a mantilla, a Spanish veil.

♥ Single layer (1 layer) = without “blusher”
♥ Double-layered (2 layers) – with a “blusher” that can be worn in front of the face

At Poirier we offer veils made of...

TULLE – LACE – 3D FLOWERS & ORNAMENTS – SEQUINS – RHINESTONES – BEADS – EMBROIDERY – And much more...

At Poirier, we have a special system to quickly identify which veil we are talking about. You can see the standard for this in an example below:

• article number ‘S75500-280/1/MD’

• S75500 = model number

• 280 = length in cm

• /1 = number of layers

• /MD = medium-tulle

If two types of items combine beautifully with each other, it is Poirier's veils and hair accessories. Pair a veil of your choice with one of our gorgeous tiaras, diadems or hair combs.

The use of bridal veils has its origins in the history of arranged marriages. Back in the day a veil would prohibit the groom to see his bride before the marriage was final, so a groom would first lay his eyes on his wife when the marriage was finalized. This origin story comes from the Middle-East. In ancient folklore bridal veils are meant to hide away brides from evil spirits. A veil would be lifted when the bride was in the presence of her groom, so he could protect her.

These days brides wear all sorts of veils, either long or a veil that has a long train, but short and hip bridal veils are being worn as well.
In the photo slider on the right you can see veils that have been worn by British Royals: The Queen Mum, Elizabeth II, Princess Diana, Kate Middleton, and Meghan Markle.
