Weddings are a celebration of love and commitment in all its countless forms. For LGBTQ+ couples, veils may play a significant role in expressing these themes. While in the past legal marriages were constricted to couples of the opposite sex, LGBT+ couples (as well as throuples, and other polyamorous family systems) have been pushing the boundaries of weddings within their communities for decades. This includes bridal fashion and accessories such as the wedding veil. 

At Tara Bridal, we understand that brides of all orientations deserve to feel unique on their big day. With over 3,000 brides served across 39 countries, our exquisite handmade veils crafted by skilled artisans in Vietnam reflect the rich cultural significance of Vietnamese embroidery. In this post, we’ll explore how veils contribute to LGBTQ+ weddings, emphasizing personal expression, contemporary aesthetics, and the importance of meaningful elements. Embrace who you are and do what makes you happy!

Personal Expression

Individual Style

For many LGBTQ+ couples, the choice of a veil is a powerful statement about their identity and personal style. A veil can be a canvas for self-expression, allowing brides to showcase their individuality in a way that resonates with them. For instance, a bride may opt for a colorful or patterned veil to complement her non-traditional gown, reflecting her vibrant personality.

One beautiful option is the Kaitie Colorful Veil, which features enchanting peony and cosmos flowers in soft pink and yellow hues. This veil symbolizes happiness and warmth, making it a radiant choice for couples who want to express their love story through their attire. With delicate dark green petals and branches, the Kaitie veil adds a natural charm that perfectly complements various wedding styles.

We can also create the Kaitie veil in the colors of the LGBT flag, allowing couples to express their pride and love in a meaningful and vibrant way.

Redefining Norms

LGBTQ+ weddings often challenge traditional norms, and the use of veils is no exception. Many couples feel empowered to break away from conventional wedding traditions, including who wears what. Both brides can wear white veils, or they may choose to contrast with one white and one colorful veil.

To illustrate these options, consider the Kaitie Colorful Veil and the Ela Lace Wedding Veil. The Kaitie veil features enchanting peony and cosmos flowers in soft pink and yellow hues, symbolizing happiness and warmth. Its vibrant colors allow couples to express their individuality while maintaining a romantic touch.

On the other hand, the Ela Lace Wedding Veil offers a breathtaking vision of romance. Made from soft ivory tulle, this veil is adorned with clusters of lace roses tracing the edges, creating an ethereal beauty. The unique shape of the train resembles a gently budded flower petal, adding a romantic touch. The gentle ivory hue envelops the bride in a timeless atmosphere, making her feel as if she’s walking through a garden of love on her special day.

Both veils beautifully complement various wedding styles and themes, allowing couples to express their love story in a way that feels authentic to them.

As the wedding industry evolves, designers are increasingly offering veils that resonate with diverse aesthetics, particularly for LGBTQ+ couples. From whimsical short veils to dramatic cathedral styles, there are countless options available.

For those looking to make a bold statement, the Audrey Black Wedding Veil is a striking choice. Inspired by the timeless elegance of Audrey Hepburn, this veil combines classic charm with modern boldness. The deep black hue symbolizes individuality and confidence, making it a versatile option that can be beautifully paired with both white and black dresses. Delicate cosmos flower motifs add a touch of romance, creating a stunning contrast that speaks volumes about the wearer’s unique style.

To further complement the Audrey veil, consider the Kaitie Veil. This cathedral-length embroidered floral veil draws inspiration from enchanting peony and cosmos flowers that bloom abundantly across the Americas. The peony symbolizes happiness and warmth, while the cosmos flower represents the flourishing love between the couple.

The Kaitie veil features meticulously handcrafted details embossed on delicate organza fabric, resulting in an ethereal and romantic appearance. It can serve as a beautiful contrast to the boldness of the Audrey veil, allowing the bride to express her individuality while creating a breathtaking bridal look. If you’re seeking a dramatic, sweeping silhouette, the Kaitie veil makes a truly elegant statement as you walk down the aisle, embodying the joy and vibrancy of your love story.

Colorful and 3D Options

Couples can also explore colorful veils that break from traditional white. The Emma Veil, with its light ivory base and dark green embroidery, features beautifully crafted flowers like peonies and wildflowers. This design offers a fresh take on the veil, allowing brides to embrace their love for nature while standing out from conventional choices.

Another stunning option is the Bella Floral Wedding Veil. This delicate and feminine 3D masterpiece is crafted from soft ivory tulle, adorned with delicate 3D floral designs that bloom gracefully across the veil. Each petal unfolds like a quiet promise of love, creating a sense of movement as the flowers cascade down, gathering in clusters at the base. With its lively yet soft floral motifs and subtle ivory hue, the Bella veil captures the essence of spring, feeling pure and timeless.
