The technical name for the part of the veil that covers the face.

Corded Lace
Lace that has a thin ivory cord so to speak sewn into the pattern. A lot of lace patterns sometimes come in both options, the corded version a little bit more decadent. The ones below are the same pattern for example, one with cording and one without. The one on the right has also had it's eyelashed edge removed. (see below)
Eyelashing
Lace edging/trim that has little threads along the edge, like eyelashes. (see pics above)
Juliet Cap
A style of crown where the veil crown is either made of lace or tulle fitted to the head. Also spelt Juliette cap and has many different variations!

Scalloped Lace
When the lace edge has a repetitive curved shape. So most laces!
Train
