Learn how to wear a two-layer French lace veil with blusher, from placement and comb security to flipping the blusher for the ceremony and photos.
Why a blusher changes your veil plan
A blusher is the shorter layer that traditionally covers the face during the ceremony. On a two-layer veil, it adds a second piece of fabric to manage alongside the longer train, so placement and comb security matter more than they do with a single-layer veil. The goal is to keep both layers comfortable and controlled from the walk down the aisle through the last photo.
The Regal French lace veil with blusher (Style #2459) is a cathedral veil with a 36-inch blusher and a 108-inch train, made from bridal illusion tulle and trimmed with two kinds of French imported lace. It is sewn to a gold plated wire comb and comes in ivory or light ivory. Those dimensions tell you the blusher is long enough to drape over the face and past the chin, so you will want to test how it feels before the wedding day.

How to place and secure the two layers
Work with your hairstylist to anchor the comb where your hairstyle feels stable. The steps below focus on the blusher and train because those are the parts unique to a two-layer veil.
- Anchor the comb: Set the gold plated wire comb into your hairstyle at the crown or wherever your stylist recommends for balance. The comb holds both layers, so it should feel secure before you adjust the tulle.
- Arrange the blusher over your face: Bring the 36-inch blusher forward so it falls over your face. Check that the lace trim sits where you want it and that you can see and breathe comfortably through the bridal illusion tulle.
- Spread the train behind you: Let the 108-inch train fall behind you. Because the veil is 94 inches wide at its widest point, smooth it across your shoulders so it does not bunch on one side.
- Test the flip before the ceremony: Practice lifting the blusher back over the comb so it rests on top of the train. Do this in front of a mirror and with your shoes on so you know how the veil behaves when you move.
When to flip the blusher, and who can help
Traditionally, the blusher is lifted after the ceremony or at the moment the couple is presented. Decide in advance who will do it—often a parent, attendant, or your partner—and show them how the blusher sits over the comb. A gentle lift from the front edge keeps the lace from catching on earrings or a headpiece.
If you plan to wear the blusher for photos, leave it forward until the portraits you want are taken, then flip it for the reception. The Regal veil’s lace trim is the detail most likely to show in close-ups, so check that the blusher is centered before the camera comes close.
Blusher veil tips for comfort and photos
- Check visibility through the tulle: Bridal illusion tulle is sheer, but a 36-inch blusher still puts fabric between you and the room. Practice walking and looking down the aisle with it forward so you are not adjusting it mid-ceremony.
- Keep the lace trim off your face: The Regal veil is trimmed with two kinds of French lace. Position the blusher so the lace edge falls below your chin or at your shoulders rather than across your nose or mouth.
- Coordinate with your headpiece: If you are wearing a tiara or comb, place the veil comb behind or beneath it according to your stylist’s plan. The gold plated wire comb is the structural anchor, so it should not fight with other accessories.
- Plan for wind and movement: A wide, long veil catches air. If you are outdoors, ask your attendant to help settle the train after the blusher is flipped, and keep a hand free for the front edge if needed.
Color and timing decisions before you commit
The Regal veil comes in ivory or light ivory. The supplied information notes that light ivory is currently ready to ship and ivory is made to order in 5–7 weeks as of 3/3/2026. If your wedding date is close, that timing difference may decide the color for you. The listing also suggests purchasing a tulle swatch if you are unsure of the color, which lets you compare the tulle against your dress before ordering.
The supplied information does not include care instructions or specific guidance for securing the comb to different hairstyles. Ask your stylist to test the comb with your final hairstyle, and follow any care directions that come with the veil rather than guessing.
