Choosing the Perfect Monogram or Custom Initials & Wedding Date for Your Wedding Veil
Your wedding veil is more than just an accessory; for some brides it's a cherished keepsake that symbolises your love, for others it’s a way to inject personality into their bridal look and for others it’s a way to create amazing and memorable wedding photos!
Whatever your preference may be, personalising your veil with a monogram, custom initials, or your wedding date adds a unique touch that makes your wedding day even more memorable and personal to you. Here we’ve put together a guide of little notes to help you choose the perfect custom initials design for your wedding veil.
Reflect on Your Personal BRIDAL Style
Before diving into specific designs, consider your personal style and wedding theme. Are you drawn to classic elegance, vintage charm, or modern minimalism? Your veil should complement your overall bridal look and be cohesive with your chosen gown or bridal outfit and your décor.
Classic Elegance: Opt for timeless monograms with intertwined initials or classic script embroidery that never goes out of fashion.
Vintage Charm: Choose designs with delicate embroidery and add romantic motifs such as meaningful flowers or symbols.
Modern Minimalism: Go for sleek, simple initials and a subtle date.
Choose a Meaningful Monogram or Initials
Monograms are a popular choice for brides who want to incorporate their and their partner’s initials into their outfit and makes their veil special and unique without overwhelming their dress. These are some ways we add your names and initials to your veil
Single Initials: Your single initials together or intertwined into a heart or embroidered border.
Combined Initials: Intertwined initials that symbolise unity and can be embroidered extremely small if you’d like them to be delicate and hidden within your veil.
Full Names: If you prefer, you can also use your full names in a stylish script to make a large statement.
For a beautiful example, check out our Forget Me Not Embroidered Monogram Pearl Wedding Veil with Initials and Date . This veil made at Natasha Nicole Studio elegantly combines initials and the wedding date, making it a perfect keepsake. With optional pearls or any other bespoke beading or embroidery, it’s the perfect way to make your veil unique to you.
Incorporate Your Wedding Date
Adding your wedding date to the veil is a lovely way to commemorate the day you said, “I do.” Here are some ways to do it:
Numerical Date: The most classic option, such as 07.08.2024. This can be embroidered very small or large and can be mixed with your initials.
Written Out Date: A more romantic option, like July 8th, 2024. This is best if you are adding more text or script such as lyrics, a poem or meaningful phrase.
Roman Numerals: A unique and sophisticated touch, such as VII.VIII.MMXXIV.
Select a Design that Complements Your Veil and bridal aesthetic
Consider the design and length of your veil when choosing your customisation. The placement and size of the monogram or date should enhance, not overpower, your veil and your gown or chosen bridal outfit. For instance:
Pearl and Embroidery Details: The Pearl Love Hearts Tied with Vintage Bow Embroidered Wedding Veil features charming pearl hearts and a vintage bow, perfect for a romantic and elegant look. It’s large enough to be seen but still subtle and delicate.
Heart Motifs: The Intertwined Hearts Wedding Veil showcases delicate intertwined hearts and is an example of classic initials that aren’t overwhelming and match many themes.
Simple and Sweet: The Loveheart Wedding Veil is ideal for brides who prefer something minimal and classic. This type of design is also lovely for shorter veils, such as elbow or shoulder, where the heart makes a great statement.
Consult with a Designer
If you’re unsure about what would look best, consult with a wedding veil designer! Asking questions or for advice on what would suit you perfect is what we’re best at!

Consider Future Heirloom Potential
When personalising your veil, think about its potential as a family heirloom! A beautifully customised veil can be passed down through generations, carrying with it the story of your love and commitment.
Personalising your wedding veil with a monogram, initials, or wedding date is a beautiful way to add a personal touch to your bridal look. By considering your personal style, the meaning behind the design, and the overall look of the veil, you can create a unique piece that will be cherished for years to come.
We also offer the option to add more embroidery to your bespoke wedding veil at the time of an anniversary or if a family member is also wearing your veil to their wedding, to create a story of your family in embroidered dates and symbols.
