Veil Fabrics & Colors |
|
| Tradewind Tiaras is pleased to offer veils in three exquisite fabrics: bridal illusion, English netting, and silk tulle. Please refer to the descriptions below to learn more about these fine materials. |
|
Bridal Illusion | ||
| Our standard veils, and the vast majority of veils on the market, are made from a fabric known in the industry as bridal illusion. This tulle is essentially a very fine polyester netting. Soft & sheer, bridal illusion exhibits a diamond-shaped weave. Veils made from bridal illusion have slightly more body than those made from silk or English netting. Bridal illusion is available in white, diamond white, and ivory. We offer bridal illusion veils in each of these colors in 54", 72", and 108" widths. | |
 |
| ||
English Netting | ||
| We also offer veils in English netting. This tulle is made from cotton and features a hexagonal pattern weave. Veils made from English netting fall with a slightly heavier drape than those of bridal illusion. We offer English netting veils in white at 43", 72" and 108" widths. Ivory is available in 43" width only. | |
 |
| ||
Silk Tulle | ||
| Silk tulle is exceptionally sheer and luxurious. Like English netting, silk tulle also features a hexagonal weave. Silk, however is more soft and fluid than either bridal illusion or English netting. Silk veils have been a hallmark of bridal elegance for centuries. We offer silk veils in silk white (similar to diamond white bridal illusion) and ivory. Silk veils are available in widths up to 70". | |

Tulle Colors |
| Most brides choose veils to match their gowns in color as closely as possible. The photo below shows bridal illusion in the three available colors: white, diamond white, and ivory. White is true, stark white. Choose white tulle to match gowns that are not made from silk and that are labeled 'white' by the manufacturer. Diamond white was created to match the creamy white color of silk. Real silks, like real pearls, don't come in bright, stark white. Instead, silk white is a warmer, more complex color. Choose diamond white tulle to match silk gowns that are labeled 'white,' or any gowns labeled 'candlelight,' 'pearl,' 'natural,' or 'diamond white' by the manufacturer. Ivory is much creamier than white or diamond white. Choose ivory tulle to mach gowns of any material labeled 'ivory' by the manufacturer. |
