With many wedding veil styles to choose from, it can be confusing to know which one will work best for the big day. Today, the topic is mantilla wedding veil.

Mantilla is a long Spanish-style circular veil usually made from lace, or lace edged tulle. It is secured with a comb which frames the face and drapes over the head and shoulder. Smoother, dressier hairstyles will look superb with this style.

These veils are traditionally made of delicate white Chantilly lace and are perched atop an ornate head comb called a peineta. While popular in Spain and Latin America, as well as among persons of Latino descent, a mantilla may be worn by any woman that wants a traditional, semi-formal look. Now, a white mantilla is appropriate for a church wedding but can be worn at other ceremony locations as long as it coordinates with the vintage wedding gown. Available lengths for this type of veil range from shoulder length to below the knee.

A mantilla veil, as one of the elegant bridal accessories, cascading about your hair and down over your shoulders is a beautiful way to frame your face during your wedding ceremony.
