lace veil

Sheer wedding headpiece

A lace veil is a head covering made of delicate openwork fabric, traditionally worn by women at weddings, funerals, or religious services.

Bridal veils are often elaborate lace pieces that trail behind the bride.

In Catholic tradition, women once wore lace veils called mantillas to Mass: She pinned the lace veil to her hair before entering the cathedral.
