A Mantilla Veil For Your Wedding Day

Let’s have a look first at the history of the mantilla veil. The veil is a big focal point of your wedding day and if you choose a mantilla veil you should know some of the history behind it. The mantilla veil originated in Spain hundreds of years ago but it was thanks to Queen Isabel II that it became fashionable in high society during the nineteenth century when she encouraged ladies to wear them at court. They used to used as head coverings at religious services and be made from black lace. Indeed, the mantilla veil is a popular choice for first communion services as well as weddings today.

A his traditionally circular in shape. It used typically, to be made of Chantilly lace but today you will find them made of tulle or chiffon with a lace border. Your mantilla wedding veil can be white, ivory or cream in color but it is necessarily exclusively worn by the bride. In some countries it can also be worn by other female members of the bridal party, such as the bride’s mother, but in this instance the veil would be black.

There are several options when it comes to how to wear a mantilla veil. You can simply drape it across the top of your head and let it cascade down over your shoulders and back – it can be kept in place with a comb or decorative clip. Using a peineta is the tradinal way of wearing it. This is a high Spanish comb which stands on top of the head with veil draped over. If you think of a Flemenco costume you will see that there is often a black mantilla veil worn with it. Traditionally mantilla veils did not go below the hips but these days modern brides opt for many different lengths with some even extending as a long train.

Hopefully you will now have learnt a bit more about mantilla veils which should help you decide whether it is the right choice for you. A mantilla veil will complement most bridal gowns as they can be short and simple or long and intricate lace, incorporating pearls or crystals. These stunning veils will add chic sophistication to your bridal outfit. To learn more about the mantilla veil please check out some of my other articles.
