veil

by Heather

Saturday my mom, my sisters, my moms friend and I are going to LA to hit up the flower mart, the fabric store and the giant Michael’s-ish store. I am super excited. My mom will be looking for material for my veil :)  Today she sent me some pictures of veil pattern coers and I fell in love with the look of this one. Look at the little hat things. So old school. Me? I will be sticking with a cathedral length veil, simple, without lace or anything sparkly, and a blusher. Because for whatever reason I really want to have one :)

My mom’s veil — that I plan on wearing!! — is just like #3 above. I am 99% sure I will be detatching it from the “hat” as it is so funny looking and I plan to wear my hair up … but it so old school and great! How fun, veils! :)

I think the veil cap/hat is so cute, you could totally rock it by blinging it out with some rhinestones or mini sequins. These are totally making me rethink a veil.

I bought a cathedral and blusher from Etsy for only $40!! I LOVE it, and had a blast with it at my Bridal portrait. It’s cut edge, with no lace, pearls or anything fancy. It’s simple and perfect!

It’s the next thing on my list. I want it super full and over-the-top, of course. I wish my mom could make it!

I wish I knew someone who could make a veil! I decided in David’s Bridal the other night that it would be the best way to get that “exact” one that I’m looking for. There are so many different kinds/styles etc… but it’s so hard to just find that one that really does it for me.

Dawn, there’s an *awesome* veil tutorial on Wedding Bee, if you’re so inclined to give it the ol’ DIY try… :)

My matron of honor ordered her wedding veil from this website and it was beautiful and affordable — always a great combo.

Holy cow! My veil (my mom’s from 1978) is soooo similar to number 3 there! Craziness!

[...]  My mom mentioned that she could probably make one so off we went to Joann’s.  She found a pattern and we bought a bolt of tulle, a comb and a little bit of fabric to put over the comb.  Once she [...]
