In homage to mask-wearing RuPaul’s Drag Race star Valentina, we’ve rounded up nine of the best wedding masks for brides. They’re so pretty, you just won’t want to take them off


Goodbye garter: there’s a new bridal accessory in town. While it’s not currently compulsory in Scotland to wear a mask at a wedding ceremony or three-household gathering indoors, if you are bringing together a handful of your most cherished people in the world, doesn’t it make sense to protect them by wearing one?
These masks are not medical grade by any means, but they might just have you adding a BYOM (‘bring your own mask’) clause to your invites. They are also ideal for wearing to your dress-shopping appointments.
Eliza Loves has launched a range of Love Masks [below left], all handmade in Ayrshire from French chantilly lace trims and embroidered lace. Buy off-the-peg or commission a bespoke face covering to suit the style of your dress. For every mask sold, the company will donate a mask to charitable organisations.


Available in black/ivory zebra-print, black tulle, ivory lace or spot tulle, Sassi Holford‘s sustainable Egyptian cotton face masks [below] would look stylish in any aisle, from wedding venue to supermarket. Even better, 40% of proceeds will be donated to domestic abuse charity Women’s Aid.


Disco divas are going to want to get their sequinned muzzle on with Isolated Heroes’ face masks that are made in Dundee using fabric off-cuts. A £5 donation from every sale goes to The Black Curriculum, a social enterprise founded in 2019 by young people to address the lack of Black British history in the UK Curriculum.


Kirkcaldy’s Mirka Bridal Couture has also produced a line of pretty handmade lace masks [below] in addition to more everyday styles. They are limited-edition so get in quick.
