veil question

Hi ladies:

I have been looking at veils and am getting discouraged. All of them to be so poufy on top and I hate the way it looks on me. Is there a special term for the type of veil that is not as poufy?????????????????????

TIA

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S AN OFFICAL TERM, BUT MINE IS CALLED A 'SINGLE TIER' VEIL. THEY ALSO COME IN 2 TIER AND POUF.

I could also try a drop veil or circular veil. These veils don't have combs (which is what makes other veils puffy. You hold it on with a hat pin.

You can get a single tier or 2 tier. The more tier.. the poufier.

Also, look for the placement on your hair. A veil on the 'top' will be more pouffy.

Personally, I am placing my veil on the back so it just falls straight (not pouffy!)

another factor that affects the poufyness of a veil is how wide it is cut. the wider, the more poufy it is!

Yeah, part of it is the cut and how its attached to the comb. I went to barons in tri-county and she helped me with that b/c I also didn't want a poufy veil.

try a less wide veil. i think it's like 56 inches .

I would also try different fabrics - silk and english netting are heavier and drape differently than bridal illusion, which most veils are made of. There are great pictures of this on www.tradewindtiaras.com. Or, get a circle cut/cage veil - not having the comb helps.
