Go For A Mantilla Wedding Veil

First let’s find out about the beginnings of the mantilla veil. The history of this veil is something you will want to know all about as it is going to be one of the big focal points of your special day. 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. The mantilla veil is also a popular choice for first holy communion services.

The tradional shape of a Mantilla veil is round. It used typically, to be made of Chantilly lace but today you will find them made of tulle or chiffon with a lace border. The mantilla wedding veil is not necessarily just 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 large decorative comb which stands on top of the bride’s head with the mantilla veil draped over it. You will often see a black mantilla veil worn like this in a traditional flamenco costume. 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.

I hope you understand a bit more about  mantilla veils and their history now. A mantilla veil will complement most bridal gowns as they can be short and simple or long and intricate lace, incorporating pearls or crystals. If you want to add a bit of sophisticated elegance to your bridal look you would do well to consider one of these charming veils.
