Let's take a break from small talk and get serious about weddings: Let's post veils!

But I don't have one yet. I am thinking of a cage style or none at all. I am looking into antique 20's style headpieces to wear on the back of a low sitting bun. My dress is very simple elegant so I don't want fussy hair.

I'm on the fence about this as well. I don't know what kind will NOT clash with my dress. I bought one from ebay to use for trials- it is a single layer, elbow length.

if I get the dress that I am thinking of getting (going in two weeks ) it has a flower on the skirt, so I would probably do a flower in my hair

Re: Let's take a break from small talk and get serious about weddings: Let's post veils!

seeing as how I don't have a dress, I should not be thinking of veils. but I do.

I like "antiquey" looking things - almost spanish/italian old-school style.

Mantillas are just lovely...

so are things like this:

Either way, I may obsess over getting silk-tulle instead of regular. pricey, but the difference is huge!

Re: Let's take a break from small talk and get serious about weddings: Let's post veils!

I don't have one yet, but I definitely want a cathedral length veil with Swarovski crystals on it, maybe cascading so they start with a few on top and get more toward the bottom.

Bunnymonkey--I'm veil ignorant, what kind of material/style is the picture you posted? Thanks!

It's silk tulle - what a "real" veil is supposed to be made of, and was in the olden days. It's pricey though! I think I am goig to buy it wholesale and have my mother make it for me. Doesn't it fall so amazing!?

I am going to use my MOH's as my something borrowed, but I don't have a pic of it. It is a tiara with 2 or 3 tiers of tulle if I remember correctly.

Oh, Bunny, I SO love that pic and the hair! I am not a flower in hair fan but that so fits with your Italian vineyard proposition!
Also, I think you can do silk much less expensively with a little easy how to.

Re: Let's take a break from small talk and get serious about weddings: Let's post veils!

All I know is that I want a Cathedral veil. I'm thinking about a Mantilla one, but the one my designer makes is about $800. UGGH. I really love it though. I'm hoping that I can take a picture of my dress to Barrons and they make me one.

Diva:
Bethsiar posted a great way to do it -- FM her, she is totally helpful -- she actually got it for like $25 from the UK and had it made here, cheaper than tulle.

Re: Let's take a break from small talk and get serious about weddings: Let's post veils!

I haven't even really thought about it yet. I am still trying to figure out how I want to wear my hair so I can determine where the veil will sit on my head. Not sure if I want to be a "veil" bride or a "hair" bride!!

Are there any good websites out there that explain all the different types? I hear all kinds of terminology and I have no idea what it means!!!

That is a rip! There are alot of great online stores that will sell you a cathedral length mantilla for more than half that price.

Re: Let's take a break from small talk and get serious about weddings: Let's post veils!

No pics but mine is a 2 tier (top tier 24" and 2nd tier 45") and the 2nd tier has 35 scattered crystals on it. I had it done that way so when the top one is over my face, the pictures dont show the little dots.

I don't have a pic but I'm getting it made by SewDeb. It's going to be cream silk tulle, single layer, ending at my hip. Very simple.

That's very clever! I'll have to remember that
