Have you looked on Etsy? You can probably find someone who will make it in the same colour as your dress.

What about asking a dressmaker to make one if you get some coloured organza fabric?

Google the wedding veil shop. It's based in Blackpool but they make bespoke veils and will post it to you

Buy the tulle to match your dress and make your own. I did mine and was surprised at how easy it was. Go on Rock My Wedding for the tutorial before you buy your tulle and then you can work out how long it needs to be, the tutorials for cathedral length, but if you want shorter adjust accordingly. I then decorated mine with diamantes. Honestly, it was so easy. I got a diamante cathedral veil for about £30 xx

Try a haberdashery for coloured net and maybe make your own? Lovely personal touch too x

Could you dye a veil x

You could buy some magenta tulle and hot glue it to a hair clip

Had the exact same problem. I suggest you search for the painted veil shop on Etsy.

She made me a colour matched veil and then I took it to my seamstress for them to add some or the beadwork my dress had.

Dye a white one the same colour as your dress

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 15 Feb 2018

Please don’t be offended but I think i veil the same colour as your dress will be way over the top and to much . I’d not bother with a veil z

There are companies that dye bridesmaids shoes to the exact colour of their dresses so perhaps they do veils too? http://dyedtomatch.com/

Buy a white one and get some fabric dye

Such a beautiful dress, if it was me I'd go for a pretty tiara instead of a veil.. But thats just my opinion, sure you will look stunning.. Agree with others about making your own or dying 1..

You can get a dip dyed one from crown and glory (I think) which is a hint of colour but mostly white. There are some beautiful facinators and birdcage veils out there too

Stacey Hutchinson

I would find a dressmaker or a veil shop where you can create your own. I would advise against just buying a white one and dying it as the material won't take colour properly.

Crown and glory... they do coloured veils and they are amazing.

UKbride Administrator

Dye a white one if you cannot make your own. I would suggest a cold dye mainly because it takes better to tuile and net. If there are sequins or crystals on the veil they usually stay their original colour sometimes a tint will occur however. Just need to match the colour, get dye salt and a bucket add water and voila! Matching veil.

You can get the materials from somewhere like abakhan and get a dress maker to do it how you want. Make sure to take you’re dress though so you get a right colour or something close to it xx

Could you dye a white veil to match?

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 15 Feb 2018

Really easy to make. You just need to sew some matching material like tulle onto a hair grip or clip

Teresa Burns

Lovely dress, would go for tiara, veil would be overkill xx

UKbride Administrator

Why not take out one of the underneath layers of the netting/tulle, and ask whoever is doing your alterations to sew it on to a hair slide and turn it in to a veil? Then it would be a 100% perfect colour match
