Veils, Veils, Veils . . .?????? (Diamond White Vs. White with Satin dresses and other ????)

Okay many questions . . .

1) Anyone that is getting a satin dress knows that satin does not always appear white, so are you getting a white or diamond white veil?

2) What is a rolled edge? Is ot the same as a pencil or ribbon edge? Are you getting an edge or just getting it plain? If you are getting an edge, what are you getting?

3) Is your dress detailed or not very detailed?

4) Are you getting accents like stones or pearls or leaving it palin?

5) If I am to get a cathedral, do I get a two later or three layer if I plan on removing the Cathedral length and wearing the rest to the reception?

6) Are you getting a comb, or are you attaching it to your tiara somehow?


I think that is it . . . I am not very good at this as you can see . . .

I think I know the answers to some of these questions. I was looking at veils and tiaras today.

1. My dress is in the satin that is a diamond white and my veil will be diamond white

2. Rolled edge is the thin white edge that finishes that type of veil. There is a thicker edge that is called rattail that finishes the veil but is a lot bigger than the rolled edge. I am getting the rolled edge.

3. Mine is a detailed dress. They told me that it is a good idea with a detailed dress to get either the plain or the rolled edge.

4. I am leaving it plain (no stones) because of the detail on my dress.

5. sorry I don't know the answer

6. A comb. It is easier to attach to the tiara.

1) My dress is Ivory/gold satin and satin organza. Veil is ivory.

2)Rolled Edge - Generally used on veiling other than bridal illusion. The veil's edge is rolled to the underside, stitched in place, the trimmed along the stitch. On fabrics that are very likely to fray, the edge is double-rolled to completely enclose the raw edge.

Wedding Veil Glossary Site I just found.

3) My dress has detailed beading on bodice and sleeves and VERY plain skirt

4) I opted for scattered pearls and sparkles on my veil - it's very subtle. But will add a little sparkle to my train.

5) I am going to bustle my cathedral veil, I think...it's 1 layer so it just depends how it feels, I may get a separate 2 tiered for reception.

6) My veil is attached to a comb, with removable (velcro) blusher. Tiara is a separate comb.

I'd suggest using weddingchanel.com's sketchbook to learn about what options you have.
