Fingertip Mantilla Veil with Plain Cut Edge

May 16, 2013

Notice how this fingertip mantilla veil is almost invisible.

This mantilla veil is a bridal illusion 40 inch diameter circle. Mantilla veils are not gathered across the top leaving them very sheer and light.

There are several options for attaching mantilla veils to your hair such as combs or hair pins. This fingertip mantilla has our metal comb sewn to the edge with invisible thread.

What color to get for an “Eggshell” or very light ivory dress? Diamond white is often the best match. Diamond white is an off white, not a pure bright white and not a creamy ivory either.

Lace Mantilla Elbow Length Veil with Venice Lace Edge

April 25, 2013

This lace mantilla is an elbow length veil. The lace edge is done with a Venice lace the customer sent to us. This mantilla is a 36″ circle of ivory bridal illusion and it lets the back of the dress show through. A 3″ clear plastic comb is hidden under the lace. We offer lace veils like this where the bride finds the lace herself or we stock some lace you can choose from. When shopping for lace look for designs that are scalloped on both sides, this allows it to smoothly curve around the edge of the veil. Venice lace works great!

1 Tier Chapel Length Veil with Ribbon Edge at Medium fullness

February 15, 2013

This is what a 1 tier chapel length veil with a ribbon edge looks like at medium fullness. The wedding veil is 84 inches long at the medium fullness of 72 inches wide. Notice it is done in the traditional shape. The ribbon used on the edge is our ivory 1/8 inch wide polyester ribbon on ivory bridal illusion.

A chapel veil is a floor length veil. It is important to measure yourself with shoes on (and hopefully with the dress on too) because we are all different heights and the dress is a factor too. This dress is quite full and the veil at 84 inches matched up well with the back of the dress. Where you position the veil on your head can change the length too, notice her’s is up high. If you wear it lower the veil will be longer.

Oval Shape Cathedral Veil a Blusher Veil

November 6, 2012

This is our oval shape cathedral veil, a blusher veil. Our oval shaped veils are 2 tier veils that are formed by folding them to from the 2 tiers. Unlike our traditional shape veils the oval veils are only gathered across the center of the fold leaving around 18 inches on each side not gathered. This results in less folds and puffiness. Notice the blusher is quite transparent yet this veil is at full width of 108 inches. The oval shape allows a full width 2 tier veil to have less bulk at the comb. This veil has a cut edge and the cathedral length is 120 inches and the blusher is 30 inches.

: This cathedral veil is long enough to train out down the aisle over the dress. It stays spread out allowing the wedding dress to clearly show through.

Cathedral Veil at Medium Fullness

September 28, 2012

This cathedral veil is at the medium fullness. Cathedral veils work best at full (108″) or medium(72″) fullness. Fullness is the width of the veil and effects the number of folds from the gathers, full is puffier and medium is more transparent (sheer 54″ is better for shorter veils as it looks too thin and skimpy on long veils). Notice this wedding veil is wide enough to spread out, yet it’s quite transparent near the top where it’s gathered. The bride and I created this designer veil with ivory bridal illusion at 120″ long featuring a pencil edge and Swarovski rhinestone crystals scattered throughout.
