Short Lace Face Veil on a Headband - 'Vita'

Vita is a short voilette in soft Italian tulle, set on an ivory satin headband and finished with our Siena lace. This face veil sits just over the eyes, framing them with a delicate eyelash-lace edge. It has all the romance of a blusher without the lifting back, and there are no pins or combs to worry about. Mounted on a satin-covered headband — no comb, no pins, no repositioning through the day. Soft Italian tulle falls lightly over the eyes without hiding your expression. Edged in our Siena lace, a fine scalloped lace with a delicate eyelash fringe. A modern alternative to a traditional long veil, for a church, civil or registry office wedding.

The Siena lace does the work: it catches the light right at the eyes, so the tulle can stay soft and simple. Putting it on a headband means it sits exactly where it should all day." — Sarah, Founder Specifications Materials: Italian tulle edged with Siena lace, on an ivory satin-covered metal headband Colour: Ivory Drop: Approximately 15cm from headband to lace edge Design: Voilette face veil, permanently mounted to the headband Origin: Entirely handmade in Bath by one artisan Frequently Asked Questions How do you wear a face veil headband? The 'Vita' slides on like an Alice band, so there is no comb to work into your hair. For more styling advice, please read our wedding veil guide or get in touch. Will the 'Vita' stay in place without pins? Yes. The satin-covered headband grips in the same way any Alice band does, and because the tulle weighs almost nothing there is very little pulling against it. For an outdoor or clifftop ceremony, slide one grip through the tulle and into your hair at each temple and it will not move. It sits comfortably over an updo, a chignon, braids, a bob or cropped hair. What is a voilette? A voilette is a short veil that falls just over the eyes. The 'Vita' is made in soft Italian tulle, which is finer and more fluid than the crisp Russian net of a birdcage, so it falls gently over the face. It is edged with our Siena eyelash lace and drops approximately 15cm from the headband. How should I store my voilette after the wedding? Store your voilette loosely and never folded flat under weight, so the lace edge and fine eyelash fringe are not crushed. Keep it somewhere dry and away from direct sunlight. If you need storage solutions, please see our veil bag and hanging clip. What makes Britten Weddings veils special? All our veils are entirely handmade in Bath by one skilled artisan, ensuring exceptional quality and attention to detail. Each 'Vita' is edged by hand and mounted to its headband individually, never mass-produced or imported. This approach means your veil is a true piece of craftsmanship that will remain beautiful for generations.
