Bridal illusion is the norm and I think that is all barrons carry. It is the rougher of the two. Silk tulle is less see through but much softer and I am sure more money.

Oh, I mean I am only wearing it for a couple of hours, so I might just go with the cheaper of the 2

Would love to see the difference though

Top Tips when choosing your Veil



1. Remember the veil is part of the Bridal outfit, not something that is ‘plonked’ on your head as an after thought.

2. Try lots of different styles and lengths of veil in different fabrics to find the one that best compliments your outfit.

3. Don’t have a heavily patterned veil with a very ornate dress as one will ‘fight’ with the other.

4. Your guests should say ‘YOU look stunning’, not your outfit looks stunning’.

5. Don’t have a veil that cuts across detail at the back of the dress. Let the veil finish below the decoration. Silk tulle is sheer enough to alow decoration to show through.

6. If you are petite, don’t have a veil that swamps you such as a high bouffant veil. It will only make you look smaller

7. Think of adding colour eg. embroidery, to the veil to link in with your bridesmaids and/or bouquet.

8. A veil can transform the simplest dress into a stunning Bridal outfit.

9. Don’t forget to take your veil with you when you have your hair trial.

10. If you are nervous of pressing your veil, ask the store where you bought it if they will steam it a couple of days before the wedding. You can transport it home covered in a pillow case or duvet cover depending on its length.

11. Don’t wear something because you think you should, wear what YOU want.

12. Don’t make a decision about whether to wear a veil or not until you have tried some on with your dress. A long veil can create a wonderful ‘aura’ around you.

13. Don’t forget you can have a veil made to measure just as you can a dress. You can have the exact length and decoration that YOU want.


14.You only wear a veil once so make the most of it and enjoy it!

Re: Silk Tulle vs. Bridal Illusion

I'm thinking the Illusion looks better..but they are very similar, no? now i'm even more confused

Re: Silk Tulle vs. Bridal Illusion

The silk one is very soft. The bridal one can feel rough. There are so many things to consider that it is getting on my nerves

imo , french tulle is by far the most pretiest & most um relaxed kinda tulle for a veil, but may not go with certain gowns.. I happen to love chantilly lace , but it would never go with my gown,, but french tulle is pretty universal

I had my veil made with the bridal illusion . It's really sheer, but that is what I wanted. I love my veil! Picture in my Album ;)

You know Eee, you saw my veil, I'm not even sure what it is. All I know is that it cost mommy 400 buckaroos . I think it's the bridal illusion though. Not sure, because it's sooooooooooo soft

I am going for BI... I like it really sheer.
