What is this called...? Veil Questions

ipuella · February 2010

You girls are all such a wealth of information- I'm hoping someone will know the answer to this!

I know that a veil with lace all around the edges is a mantilla. Does anyone know what it's called when the lace only goes part of the way around, like this pic? Is it just lace-edged?

And part two: where can I find one?

I am looking for one where the lace will start at the same spot as the top of my strapless dress (does that make sense?)...basically I just don't want the lace edging to be next to my face or on top of my head. Thoughts?

There are several veil sellers online... have you tried just looking through their selection? You can also try calling bridal shops that sell veils, have a seamstress make you a custom veil OR see if an etsy vendor can duplicate that picture for you.

EDIT: Sorry, I forgot to answer your first question. I have no idea what its called but by describing it the way you did and showing that picture you should be able to find what you are looking for.

GL!

Hi, I have searched around a bit online but just didn't know if there was a specific thing I should be searching for that would make it any easier.

Thanks!

I would call that a lace-edged veil. I know that Occansey Veils can definitely make a veil like that for you (and they won't charge you an arm and leg, either).

Maybe something like this (with the lace sort of closer to the top)?
