A short wedding veil keeps the focus on the dress, the shoulders and the back of the gown. This collection brings together our short and fingertip wedding veils, handmade in Paris: two tulle veils with a blusher, and two birdcage veils in soft French netting.
Fingertip and short tulle veils
A fingertip veil ends around the tips of your fingers when your arms rest at your sides. It frames the whole silhouette without trailing on the floor, which makes it easy to move in, easy to sit in and easy to photograph. Pour Toujours is our fingertip veil: premium English tulle, 78 inches (2 m) long including a 35 inch (90 cm) blusher, and 118 inches (3 m) wide for a soft, full drape.
Toi et Moi is shorter still: 44 inches (110 cm) long including a 20 inch (50 cm) blusher, in the same English tulle and the same 3 m width. Both are mounted on a light silver comb, and the blusher can be worn over the face or flipped back.
Birdcage veils
A birdcage veil is the shortest option: a structured piece of netting that sits at the hairline and grazes the cheek or the eyes. Colette and Édith are both made from soft French netting and attach with a comb. They suit city hall weddings, tea-length dresses, jumpsuits and vintage-inspired looks.
