Waterfall Veil Edged in Silver: Medium Length Crystal Veil

Waterfall Veil at Medium Length

By Roxanne Buffone Google

A waterfall veil edged in silver highlights this silver wedding dress. At medium length, this crystal veil reflects the silver in her bridal gown. A veil length of 48 inches lets this waterfall veil fall between knee and fingertip length. It’s long yet well above the ground allowing the waterfall cascades and curves along the sides to flow freely.

silver seed bead waterfall veilWhat is a waterfall veil?

A waterfall veil is cut so the sides of the wedding veil flow down in soft cascades. Notice how the sides curve in and out. The waterfall veil narrows at the bottom, great for allowing a beautiful skirt or bustle to show through. For the best waterfall effect choose a veil length from short to medium including our: Shoulder, Elbow, Fingertip, or Waltz length wedding veils.

Outdoor Wedding and a Crystal Veil

An outdoor wedding can include a breeze. Your veil will look beautiful flowing in the wind, but there are ways to tame it a bit. Adding weight can help keep your veil from moving around too much. The longer the veil the more the weight of the fabric will help it stay put. Crystals, silver pencil seed bead edge wedding veilSwarovski rhinestone crystal with silver pencil edge veilbeads and trims like lace also add weight, so a slight breeze wont have it moving around wildly. In this instance the crystal veil has clear Swarovski rhinestone crystals scattered throughout, adding weight and more silver to highlight the silver on her wedding dress. This waterfall veil adds to that with the silver lined glass seed beads sewn once every inch all the way around on the metallic silver pencil edge. The lightly beaded veil added the right touch of silver and a bit of weight to work with her dress and wedding venue. Order your silver edged veil like this one or we can partner with you to design your own unique bridal veil!

Here’s What Our Bride Said!

Before: “I confirm the order and am sure my veil will be beautiful. I must commend you on your service, you are so prompt and helpful. Have a great day and thank you.”

After: “I have attached a photo from our wedding showing how my veil hangs. Everyone commented on how beautiful my veil was and the quality of the workmanship – even the dressmakers from the bridal shop!!! I was so pleased with the look of the veil, my outfit was not complete until I placed the veil on. Thank you so much.”

Veil Review “You’re the BEST!”

Just wanted to say a quick “You’re the BEST!”.  Stephanie and I opened the Veil last night and it is just beautiful.  The way the crystals catch the light is fantastic.  She likes it so much in fact that she is returning her other shorter veil and just wants to wear yours all by itself.  I cannot wait to see it on with the dress!  Anyway, wanted you to know how pleased we both are and also to thank you for the fun extras you included. We will send pictures as soon as we can. Have a great day!

This veil was purchased by the customer and her mother, but they felt it was too long and too plain. They arranged to send it to me so I could shorten it and add Swarovski rhinestone crystals and faux pearls staggered along the edge. The original cathedral pencil edge veil was transformed into a chapel length with an embellished edge. They sent photos after the wedding too! One is here, see more in our Design Gallery here https://veilsbyroxanne.com/2014/12/09/veil-alterations-we-can-change-or-add-to-your-own-wedding-veil/. The last photo is one I took before it shipped out.

It was Truly a Georgeous Veil & I Received countless Compliments!

“Thanks again Roxanne and you’re welcome. Feel free to use the photo. I will definitely recommend you in the future, it was truly a gorgeous veil and I receive countless compliments!”

This is for a cathedral length mantilla, a large oval 120″ by 108″ with a lace edge using our L1849. We still have some of this lace, just enough for a short or elbow length veil. The veil is made of ivory glimmer illusion with the ivory lace.

See her wearing her lace mantilla veil!

Veil Alterations: We Can Change or Add To Your Own Wedding Veil

Chapel Veil with Crystals & PearlsBy Roxanne Buffone Google

This customer asked us to alter her own wedding veil purchased from a bridal shop. She bought the veil because it was a perfect color match with her dress, but it wasn’t exactly what she wanted. The purchased veil was very long and only came in the one length, she wanted chapel length, just to the floor. The purchased veil was also very simple, just a pencil edge and no embellishments.

Chapel Length Veil Ends at FloorWe were able to shorten her veil to chapel length which worked great with her dress. We also added Swarovski rhinestone crystals and faux pearls staggered along the edge to get the sparkle and embellishment she wanted from hip level down.

We have altered and remade vintage and heirloom veils for brides wanting to wear their mother’s or grandmother’s bridal veil. We have removed headpieces from veils, remade headpieces, shortened veils, removed a blusher or layer and added lace from a mother’s dress. Let us know what you want and we will see how to transform what you have. Just email customstitchesbyroxanne@yahoo.com.

Crystals & Pearls Along a Pencil EdgeThis is now a chapel length veil of bridal illusion at medium fullness with a pencil edge, and clear Swarovski rhinestone crystals and ivory faux pearls staggered only from hip level down.

Long Traditional Wedding Veil

Short Ivory Wedding Veil with Champagne Ribbon Edge

Ivory veil with Champagne Ribbon EdgeBy Roxanne Buffone Google

This bride requested a champagne ribbon edge on her ivory bridal veil, to match her dress. As you can see the colors worked great! Let us know if you have a special color request for your veil.

This bridal veil is a 1 tier short veil at 25 inches long. It’s found in our “shoulder length” category, but as you see it’s elbow length on her. Notice the comb is placed low on the back of the head with her hairstyle, that will affect the length of the veil you need. Be sure to decide on your hairstyle and measure the veil length on yourself, especially important for short veils.

Short Ivory Elbow veil with RibbonThis traditional style veil is a medium fullness wedding veil made of ivory bridal illusion with a ribbon edge of 1/8 inch wide polyester ribbon in champagne color. The veil attached with our 3.5 inch clear plastic comb below her updo.

Read what she has to say about her veil here: Veils by Roxanne Review.

Traditional Shape Short Ribbon Veil

The Veil was Absolutely Beautiful and I Couldn’t be Happier

Hello!

I wanted to send you some pictures of the veil you made from the wedding… It was absolutely beautiful and I couldn’t have been happier. I ended up attaching it with bobby pins because I did not want a comb to show since it was one layer (in case someone else ever asks you how it could be done) Also, please feel free to use the photos as needed/wanted.

Thank you again for having a part in our day!

She had us make a chapel length mantilla veil. You can see photos of it here in our design gallery. Chapel mantilla with crystals and pearls along the edge. As you can see using bobby pins worked great with her hair and this type of veil.

By Roxanne Buffone Google

Here is our happy customer wearing her mantilla veil at her sunny wedding! This mantilla has our heart lace edge and it is at elbow length. Notice how the mantilla makes the veil very transparent. This veil is a 36 inch diameter circle made of white bridal illusion. She chose our lace trim for the edge, it’s our LW2 lace which is about an inch wide. This lace is a white Venice lace with a heart design. Very pretty with her chiffon dress!

Here is what she had to say: “Roxanne-

Lace Mantilla Veil – A Chapel Veil with Lace Trim Edge is Transparent

lace mantilla veil in an ovalThis lace mantilla veil is a chapel veil with a lace trim edge. Chapel length veils are floor length. If you want a wedding veil that is transparent, mantilla veils are the sheerest. A mantilla is a flat circle or oval that is not gathered, so they don’t have all the folds traditional tier veils have. You can see right through an illusion mantilla.

oval shape mantilla veilThis bride requested a custom oval shape for her mantilla veil. She wanted it to be very light and transparent, see all the buttons on the back of her dress? Most mantillas are circles, but this one is an oval 90 inches long and 72 inches wide. Our veils are all custom made so you have a choice for any size mantilla as a circle or oval. The sides on the circles wave in and out as they hand down while the ovals hang down smooth with a gradual curve.

This lace veil is made with our lace. This lace is gone but we have similar lace, email us for photos of our current lace selection in the color you need: white, diamond white, ivory or champagne: customstitchesbyroxanne@yahoo.com. The veil attaches to her hair with our 3.5 inch clear plastic comb. The comb is sewn hidden under the lace at the top center of the long edge.Long veil an oval mantilla
