This is an Organza Veil
This is a Chiffon Veil
So I'd say Charlotte's veil is Organza ....

Re: On the topic of veils, I need veil experts
Bahhh, now I just found this ... So maybe it is Chiffon ...
Chiffon - A fine, semi-sheer fabric that has a slightly stiffer hand than bridal illusion but still drapes beautifully. It is more opaque than bridal illusion, so generally a veil made of chiffon doesn't have a blusher. (See example below) It is available in almost any color. Unless otherwise noted, our chiffon veils are made of silk. See also 'Silk Gauze.'
Organza - An opaque fabric with a stiff hand that tends to be slightly iridescent. Like a chiffon veil, an organza veil usually doesn't have a blusher. (See example below) It is available in a range of colors. Unless otherwise noted, our organza veils are made of silk.
Silk Gauze - A very fine, very lightweight version of chiffon. If you like the opaqueness of chiffon but you want something lighter and more transparent, then silk gauze is for you. It is less than 1/2 the thickness of silk chiffon, and it seems almost as light as air. Silk gauze won't obscure the details of your wedding gown, and it is so light that you can wear it as a blusher. This is a great, less expensive alternative to silk tulle.

it looks like chiffon to me b/c it looks sl. opaque. i had ordered a chiffon one, but wanted a blusher and it was a little difficult to see through. that's why i went with silk tulle.

Re: On the topic of veils, I need veil experts
Thanks!! It looks like organza, but as I researched organza, it tends to have a 'stiffer' look. But all the pics with chiffon looked too opaque. I just saw that SITC episode the other day and you could clearly see charlotte when the veil was draped over her face, so I knew it just couldnt be chiffon. Now Im leaning more towards silk gauze. Thanks for the help!!
