Collaboration between Veils of Ireland and The Lace Gallery

Details: Published: Tuesday, 28 January 2020 11:50

We are delighted to announce a very special new veil design which has been inspired by our American Irish and Canadian Irish brides. These brides span several generations and in each person lies the history of generations before; their culture, their heritage, their folk memory. We at Fitzpatrick’s Veils of Ireland understand that, and embrace it. After all, there are more Irish people outside of Ireland than in it. According to a census performed by the United States and Canada, there’s a total of about 37 million Irish people living in both countries.Compare this to the 4.8 million living in Ireland, and we see a culture that has more people who celebrate their Irishness through memory, than through physically living on the Emerald Isle. So, of course, it makes sense that people would want to honour their history and previous generations on their wedding day. These custom made veils are incredibly special and it’s for this reason we’ve partnered with Mary O’Neill, of The Lace Gallery, to bring you veils that truly embrace Irish heritage.

The History of Lace

Here at Fitzpatricks Veils of Ireland, we are enthralled with the history of lace. Having been working with lace for over 40 years creating

handmade wedding veils and dresses, we know a thing or two about lace! Although there is no exact date that can be attributed to the ‘invention’ of lace, most historians agree that we associate its beginnings with the early sixteenth century. Early references to ‘lace’ in English texts almost certainly refer to ‘ties’, as this was the primary meaning of the word lace until well into the seventeenth century.
