in June 2014 Weddings

Are any of your wearing veils? If so did you get yours yet? Where did you get yours?

My dress came in last week so I am going to visit it today (squee) so I can get an idea about jewelry and a veil.  I only plan to wear the veil through the ceremony so I don't want to spend a lot. Just curious as to what you guys did....

Anniversary

    My veil is my something borrowed. It is my FSIL's and the lace and embellishment around the edge looks like it was made for my dress!

    That's great.  @artemischief I wish I could just borrow one but i don't think any of my friends will have one that matches my dress.

    I think my mom and I are going to make mine. She is very crafty/good at sewing (she made her own wedding dress), and I think that will be an extra special thing to make and keep.

    I made mine. Actually I made two.  I don't know yet if I'll wear both (one is blusher length, the other is cathedral) or just the cathedral (pics below)image

    I love veils :-)image

    @wabanzi I love the appliqués! They would look really cute as a sort of hair piece too! Awesome job on the veil, cathedral length is my favorite.

    Thanks! My dress has no train (but I love it), so I made a long veil to make me happy :-)

    I cut that piece out from some lace and beaded it by hand.  I'm not sure how to make a hair piece out of it, but I should give that some thought...

    Beautiful! What kind of fabric did you use for your veil?

    108" ivory tulle from JoAnn's.  I think I bought the whole bolt for less than $20 (with a 40% off coupon and the extra 20% they give when you finish off the bolt).  

    The wider tulle is softer -usually called Bridal tulle as opposed to the craft tulle.

    @wabanzi that is amazingly beautiful!!! I'm so jealous of your skills. I just got back from seeing my dress.  I love it. The veils that I loved were 200-$300 dollars, so yea onto Plan B.

    Yep, sticker shock on those veil sent me right to the fabric store and $1 per yard tulle.  Veils are easy to make--very easy if you don't want edging/beading (that soft/floaty look).  And if you mess up the cut, you only blew about $5 maybe.

    @wabanzi link to the blog, am I completely missing it? For someone who is not very DIY savy is it hard to sew a comb into a veil?

    I didn't post it above.  Here it is. I mainly write it to keep track of everything. 

    Sewing the comb in is very easy.  I actually didn't post how to do it on the above link, but here is a good source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLIchE4VrZc

    I did have a hard time finding the size comb I wanted.  I ended up buying one off of Ebay I think (only a $2 I believe).

    @wabanzi That is some amazing skills.  It looks absolutely beautiful

    I'm think about making my own too after seeing some prices.  It's only going to be used during the ceremony  I want a birdcage veil style, so I have a jewler friend on the look out for a hair comb/piece.  Through blogs and such I saw they are pretty easy to make with the right netting and a standard comb.  If it works it will be a large savings, if it doesn't work I'm out about $10.

    I got mine off of Etsy. After seeing the ones in the store I knew I was never going to spend that on a piece of tulle. I paid $30 and I love it! Some of them on there aren't that great but I was able to find one I love :)

    I do have a veil, it's a little past my finger tips. It is made by the same designer as my dress (Alfred Angelos) and matches perfectly :) I got it the same time I got my dress (last June)

    ETA: I'm only wearing mine during ceremony, but it was like $200.

    I already splurged a little on my dress (and the belt/sash that goes with it), so I just can't justify spending a ton on a veil. But I definitely want a multi-tiered one with a blusher and some detailing. So, I will be busting out my DIY skills...

    I actually found a decent one on etsy I'm probably going to get a two tiered fingertip with beading for $50

    I bought mine on eBay. It's a hand-made birdcage veil with scattered crystals and a brooch on the comb. It was $25 with free shipping, and I think it was totally worth it. I had such a hard time finding a birdcage veil that wasn't either completely plain or with a giant fascinator attached. It is similar to this, but with a different brooch.

    It's lovely!

    Mad skills on making one! You should go into business!

    I went to a consignment shop, found one I liked, didn't like that they still wanted over $100 for it. It had nice beading but had obviously been worn with some loose beads etc. I have a hard time spending that much on some tulle, let alone used tulle.

    So when I went in for my dress fitting at a local shop I tried some one and found one I loved... for cheaper. I think it was about $90- the shop gave me a discount since I bought the dress from them too.

    I almost went without the veil but I figured heck, when else am I going to wear one? It might make for some really nice pictures too.
