Confessions of a Veil Cheater

February 22nd, 2009 @ 12:05 pm by Mrs. Spring Roll

The title tells no lie; I am in fact, a veil cheater. It started off innocent, looking at pictures of other veils. I couldn’t help myself; the beautiful lace, the length, the fullness.

While I loved the veil that sister Spring Roll and I made, I couldn’t stop thinking about how I wished it were longer. Ultimately, I couldn’t resist merely looking at other veils, and ended up getting the veil of my dreams: a long, ivory, beaded mantilla.

You are adorable, SR! I too am a veil cheater… I made myself a birdcage veil, but I find myself being a peeping tom at the bigger more dramatic bc veils.

Your “cheating” definitely paid off though… it is BEAUTIFUL!!

Wow, definitely LOVE your new veil!!!
And might I add, I’m sooo jealous of your dress! It’s gorgeous! If you wanted to find a way to incorporate both veils, I agree with heather25! :)

I love the new veil. The lace peeking out the bottom of your dress (at least with a colored-carpet background) echoes the lines of the mantilla veil! The effect is beautiful! Great choice.

My dream veil is antique lace all over, like a table cloth but not so thick or busy. I saw one once and I about died!

Wow, so pretty! Wish I had gone that route with a veil. Is it something that can be a DIY part II?

Gahhhh! I wish I would have known that’s what you wanted! I have the same *exact* veil (even in ivory!) never worn from David’s Bridal. I couldn’t return it and wasn’t able to wear it — it poured buckets and so my hair had to be worn up.

Nevertheless, it looks gorgeous on you!

You look stunning, and look at that smile on your face, you’re SO happy to have that veil on. Mantilla veils have to be my favorite too, but I opted for a simple veil with a satin ribbon trim. I thought it looked better with my dress.
