“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!
“I received my veil today, and I absolutely LOVE it! It’s perfect and looks just how I imagined/hoped it would look! Thank you, thank you!”
See her wearing her lace mantilla veil!
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.

See our bride wearing her lace edge mantilla, a silk chiffon wedding veil. Notice how it is more opaque than the typical wedding veil, silk chiffon is a solid thin flowing fabric. The chiffon veil is a good match with the chiffon sash on her dress.
This veil was ordered as an elbow length mantilla, but notice it actually falls almost to her fingertips. The veil is a 36 inch diameter circle and on many of us that can be a fingertip length. 36 inches is a good size for a chiffon mantilla, shorter can end up looking too small and the long ones will be more of an elongated oval because the chiffon is not as wide as illusion.
We offer lace veils with lace we supply or with lace the bride supplies, so options are endless. This bride chose our lace, a wider white lace trim, L2117. Narrower lace trims work well on this size veil too. We’ve made some long veils with this lace too, so as of this moment there’s enough left for another veil this size or a bit longer. We have the same lace trim in a champagne color too. To see photos of our current lace trims email us with the color of your dress customstitchesbyroxanne@yahoo.com
To check prices and learn how to order a lace edge veil use our veil quotation form. Coming soon we will have pages showing photos of all our lace trims by color. After that we will be adding regular items to our shop for lace edge veils. Stay Tuned!

Roxanne, Roxanne, Roxanne!! What can I say??
I received my extra extra sparkle veil yesterday and I am completely blown away. It is better than I had EVER imagined. I love how you know how to make a bride-to-be feel special, and your personal touches are just timeless! Thank you for the speedy communication, where every single detail was taken into account. I will be sure to send you an update on how the veil looks and, don’t worry, I’ve already told all my friends! Though I live in the UK, your services were well worth seeking from thousands of miles away! 11 out of 10!
This is for a drop veil. She found a photo of a veil an wanted a similar look with extra sparkle. The veil is a mantilla a 48″ diameter circle with the comb sewn back 20″ from the front edge so part can be used as a blusher. It was made of English net with a pencil edge and double the normal amount of SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS rhinestone crystals scattered throughout.

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-
thank you again for the beautiful veil i got back in October!
we finally got our pictures back and i wanted to send you a picture!
Our day was beautiful. It rained Friday…we had clear beautiful sunny skies on saturday(wedding day) then sunday it rained again…we caught a break 🙂
thank you so much for getting me the perfect veil for our special day!”
This 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.
This 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.

This royal length mantilla is being worn as a drop veil. A drop veil turns your mantilla into a blusher veil. This mantilla is actually being worn as a cathedral veil. The blusher takes up 30 inches, so the lengths end up at 120 inches in the back, not the total length of 150 inches. A regular mantilla is worn attached at the edge, which would give it a length of 150 inches in back. If you want to wear a drop veil you need additional length.
A simple cut edge mantilla still has impact because of it’s size. Notice how transparent the diamond white bridal illusion is. The bride chose to attach her veil with our 2 inch straight pins, allowing her to position and reposition the veil however she wants.

This long mantilla veil with Swarovski crystal beads staggered along the edge is elegant yet transparent. Notice in the photos how the veil has a presence yet the dress remains visible. A mantilla is a great wedding veil style when you need the back of the dress to be seen. Also notice that this veil is long enough on her that is lays on the floor, that is key to keeping it as transparent as possible. When a veil does not touch the floor it will not spread out as much.
The chapel mantilla here is made of ivory glimmer illusion with a pencil edge and Swarovski crystal beads staggered along the edge. The veil is essentially an 84 inch diameter circle. It’s flat, not gathered like other veils, making it very sheer – transparent. This bride wanted to attach her mantilla with a metal comb sewn at the edge. That worked well with the updo wedding hairstyle to the back of the head, with decorative comb she added for a beautiful accent. If you want a blusher, the comb can be sewn further back allowing part of the veil to cover the face; that style is called a drop veil.
The Swarovski crystal beads add a subtle sparkle. The beads are not the very shiny mirror back rhinestones. These beads are clear in round like faceted shape 4mm beads. Swarovski is the highest quality crystal in the world developed and perfected through the years in Austria.
Do you want a very simple wedding veil that will not hide your dress? Maybe you want to wear a veil but don’t want any of your dress hidden. Maybe you don’t want to wear a veil but family really wants you to. There is a solution!
Consider a short to medium length cut edge mantilla veil. This is simply bridal illusion cut in a circle that is not gathered at all. The veil will attach to the hair at the edge and just hang down very light and transparent blending in with your dress. You can see right through it. Bridal illusion works best for the simplest most transparent look.
A comb can be sewn to the edge. We use a clear mono filament thread so it’s hidden when worn. You can also attach it with a hair piece clip or bobby pins. We offer a 2″ straight pin so you can simply position the veil and weave the pin in and out through both hair and veil…and then just slide the pin out when the ceremony is over. We’ve also had brides hold it in place with a headband or tiara.
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.
