A Cathedral Mantilla in Calais Lace
“Avec Toi”, meaning With You, is a cathedral-length mantilla wedding veil defined by its circular shape and lace-edged finish. Designed to frame the face and shoulders without gathers or volume, it offers a calm, architectural presence.
Made in France, this mantilla veil is crafted from fine, lightweight tulle and edged with authentic Calais lace woven on historic Leavers looms.
Traditionally worn for church ceremonies, the mantilla veil carries both cultural and symbolic significance. Today, it is equally chosen for its timeless silhouette and the way it complements both minimalist gowns and more elaborate dresses without overpowering them. Marrying in church? See all our Catholic wedding veils.
The Lace: A Wide Floral Border
Avec Toi is framed by a wide floral Calais lace border, 8 inches (20 cm) deep, running along the entire edge of the veil. Woven on Leavers looms in northern France, the lace carries a raised floral motif that stays visible from every angle, down the aisle and in your photographs.
Which Dress to Wear It With
With such a generous border, the lace becomes a feature of your look. It shines with minimalist gowns, where the veil brings the detail, and with fitted or A-line silhouettes. If your dress is already richly embellished, the finer scalloped edge of Mon Amour may keep a better balance. See our guide to choosing a veil for a lace wedding dress.
Length and Fit
- Length: 3.5 meters (138")
- Width: 2.2 meters (87")
- Mounting: silver comb, suitable for all hairstyles
- Color: natural white silk tone, designed to pair harmoniously with ivory or pure white gowns
- Light and comfortable to wear, the Avec Toi mantilla veil is designed to remain effortless throughout the ceremony
Worn as a single circular layer with no blusher, it sits securely from a low bun to hair worn down.
Avec Toi or Mon Amour?
Both mantillas share the same fine tulle, circular cut and cathedral length. Choose Avec Toi for a wide 8-inch (20 cm) floral border with real presence, or Mon Amour Mantilla for a lighter 6-inch (15 cm) scalloped lace edge.

The Avec Toi mantilla is cut from a fine, lightweight tulle and edged entirely in authentic Calais lace, woven on the historic Leavers looms of northern France rather than stamped onto a plain net. Leavers lace holds a raised, textured motif and a soft, slightly irregular hand that machine-embroidered lace cannot copy. The veil is hand-finished in our Paris atelier.

What is the difference between a mantilla and a regular wedding veil?
A mantilla is a single circular veil worn draped over the head and shoulders, with no gathers at the comb, unlike a traditional cathedral veil which is fuller and often layered with a separate blusher. It's the shape historically worn for church weddings, though many brides now choose it simply for its clean, romantic silhouette.
Can I wear this veil for a civil ceremony, or is it only for church weddings?
While the mantilla shape has religious roots, it's now worn just as often for civil and destination weddings. Its simple, gathering-free silhouette suits both traditional and modern dresses.
Does this veil come with a blusher?
No, the mantilla is worn as a single layer with no separate blusher. If you'd like the same lace and fabric with a blusher included, see our Avec Toi veil with a Blusher.
Will the comb hold in fine or thick hair?
The mantilla is mounted on a lightweight silver comb designed to sit securely across a range of hairstyles, from a low bun to hair worn down, without pulling or slipping during the ceremony.
