Veil Information - ** Please read **

Except for our Chiffon styles, our wedding veils are are made from a soft bridal illusion material
(a
very fine polyester netting).

 

Standard Cut Veils: Our standard veils are cut in a rounded shape and are also referred to as "Top Gathered".  The top straight part of the veil, as shown in the drawing on the left, is gathered all the way and then attached to a comb. The veil edging goes all around the veil, up to sides of the face. (See pictures below)

 

Circular Cut Veils: Most of our 2-layer veils are also available in a "Circular Cut". This type of veil is also known as "Center Gathered". The veil is cut in a circular shape, folded, gathered in the middle and then attached to a comb. The sides of the veil fall in soft folds. The veil edging does not go up to the face. This type of veil is not suggested if you want to wear a "Blusher" (the veil you pull over your face).  Additional charge: $5.00.  (See picture below)

Cascade Cut Veils: Cascade veils are cut from a special pattern that creates a cascading side effect (gentle waves down the sides). They are made from 108" or 72" wide, soft Bridal Illusion material and are available in single layer styles only.

Angle Cut Veils: Angle Cut veils are similar to Cascade veils, except the bottom of the veil comes to a point. They are cut from a special pattern that creates a cascading side effect (gentle waves down the sides). They are made from 108" or 72" wide, soft Bridal Illusion material and are available in single layer styles only.

108" wide veils are the standard veil fullness found in most Bridal Shops.  Due to the wider veil material, 108" wide veils are fuller (have more "poof") than veils made from 72" wide or 54" wide material when gathered and sewn to a comb.. Thus, less of your dress will be seen through a 108" wide veil.  If you want more of your dress to show through the veil (or just want less veil fullness), then we suggest ordering either a 72" width veil or a 54" width veil. The less veil width, the less fullness or "poof" will be seen once the veil is gathered and sewn to a comb.

Our standard veils are available in: White, Diamond White (also known as Off-White, Natural White, Winter White, Antique White or Silk White), Ivory or Pink (sample colors below). Our Ivory color (also known as Candlelight) is a light Ivory (not a dark yellow Ivory).  If your gown is called "Ivory" then our Ivory color veiling should work with your gown just fine.

Due to the differences in computer monitors, room lighting, video cards and screen settings, the below sample veil colors will vary from computer to computer.  If you're not sure of your dress color, we would suggest ordering our free sample veil swatches for your in-person comparison of our veil colors before ordering from us.

** Sparkle Veils **

We now offer "Sparkle Veils". What exactly is a sparkle veil?. The manufacturer takes a standard, high-quality bridal tulle and applies a glazing to the veil material which causes the fabric to sparkle. The glazing is what gives the veil a subtle sparkle.  The real sparkle shows only through flash photography or bright sunlight. If you are in a reception location with lots of bright lights, the veil will have a slight sparkle to it.  In normal, indoor lighting the sparkle is very subtle. But, when you exit your church or ceremony location in the bright sun you will be encircled by a soft, radiant glow of sparkle. Sparkle Veils are $15.00 extra.

** Scattered Pearls and/or Rhinestones **

The following veil accents are optional: Scattered 4mm Pearls, Scattered 4mm Rhinestones or Scattered 4mm Rhinestones & 4mm Pearls.  Adding such accents to a veil will make the veil a custom order, and thus exchangeable for same style and color only. No Refunds

** Type of Comb **

Unless ordered with a headpiece that requires the veil to be attached, all our veils are sewn to your choice of either a 4" Satin Covered Plastic Comb (Free), a 3" Satin Covered Plastic Comb ($5.00) or a 4" Silver Metal Comb ($5.00). A plastic comb works with any type of hair. A metal comb works best with normal to thick hair. The veil is sewn to the end of the comb making the comb invisible once placed into the hair.

** Measuring before ordering **

We suggest having someone measure you using a cloth measuring tape to determine the length of the veil you would like. Depending on the Headpiece you've chosen (and/or where the veil will be placed on your head), will determine if you measure from the middle or the back of your head.  Also, we recommend that you allow 1 to 2 extra inches to allow for the gathering of the veil and the flow of the veil from the comb. If you have any questions about how to measure, please write or call.

If you don't find the veil length that you're looking for, we can custom make a veil in any length you would like.  Please E-mail us for information and pricing.

** Blusher **

If you are wanting to wear a "Blusher" (the veiling that you pull over your face), you can use the first layer of our standard cut 2 layer veils as a blusher (just as long as it reaches your bust line). Before ordering your veil, measure yourself using a cloth measuring tape (from where the veil will be attached) down to the middle of your bust line.  If the first layer of our 2 layer veils is a bit longer, this is okay.  You just don't want the blusher to be too short.  If you have any questions, feel free to E-mail us.

** Veil Lengths **

Shoulder:  This type is not usually worn as a single layer, but rather combined with other lengths.   It's normally used for semi-formal and formal weddings.

Elbow:  This style is best worn with short or informal gowns.

Waist:  Like above, this style is best worn with short or informal gowns.

Fingertip:  This style is best worn for semi-formal and formal weddings.

Knee:  This style is best worn for semi-formal and formal weddings.

Floor:  This style is worn for semi-formal and formal weddings.  The veil reaches the floor and is often combined with one shorter layer.

Chapel length:  This style is worn for semi-formal and formal weddings.  The veil reaches the floor and is often combined with one shorter layer.

Cathedral length:  This style should only be worn for formal weddings with gowns that also have cathedral length trains.   One foot or more of the veil should extend onto the floor, past the train of the gown.
