To the uninitiated, veil color seems a non-issue: white. Inreality, the choice is much more involved. White is actually one of severalcolors: pure white, winter white, and ivory. Each white has its own variations,but you needn't match your dress perfectly. Allow for some color variation,which will better show off your veil's detailing to guests. If you do vary thecolor, most experts recommend wearing a veil a shade or two lighter than thegown for a put-together look. Also, choose similar tones and intensities foryour gown and veil. If you have a champagne gown, for example, opt for an ivoryveil with similar yellow undertones, rather than pure or diamond white.
