Voilette: bold accessory for cool brides

If you are looking for a striking look for your wedding ceremony, how about changing the traditional veil for a modern accessory?

O voilette it matches all styles of weddings and gives the bride an air of mystery. Despite the accessory’s versatility, it appears most often in daytime miniweddings, always as a daring alternative to the long veil or mantilla.

The piece appeared in France and was widely used between the 1910s and 40s. The voilette is nothing more than a small veil that covers the entire face or just part of it. It can be attached to a hat, comb, fabric flower or headband.

There are no absolute rules when it comes to marriage. And this includes the choice of accessories. When using voilette, the only recommendation is not to use another type of veil simultaneously, so as not to pollute the look.

Guipir lace and fabric flowers are voilette’s greatest allies. Prefer smooth and pearl models for a more classic look. Daring brides can abuse the details with feathers, bows and lots of volume.

The voilette can be combined with a beautiful gemstone tiara attached to the bun. In this case, prefer a smooth tulle, without appliqués of flowers or other details.

For brides who don’t give up the traditional veil, but were delighted with the charm and delicacy of the voilette, the option may be to keep the veil long during the religious ceremony and save the short accessory for the party.
