Tulle has reign as the top choice for contemporary wedding veils.  This synthetic fabric is loved for its lightness, semi-transparency and ethereal feel.  Tulle is also budget friendly and retains it shape better than natural fabric.  While lace, satin and cashmere work best as the styling and ornament of the veil.  Veils are also decorated with sequins and beading to complement the gown and add additional styling.
