Making my own veil

[Isadora]

FJ that sounds lovely. I agree the typical veil wouldnt have suited your medievil dress.

Now I dont know whether to make one or buy one off the website as suggested by cookienmonster, as they are only $15.00. I guess making one would be more special iykwim? Thanks everyone for the tips & ideas.

I suppose it comes down to how time constrained you are and if you think you would make a good job of it kwim? I know it would have been special and all that, but they are really really cheap.

I know you are right Trillian, I am buying one from that site haha.

I made my own veil with help from my mum. We just cut two large semi circles of tulle (a big and a smaller size), then gathered the straight edges and sewed them onto a clear comb. Looked gorgeous I beaded the edges of the veil and the comb....

Thanks for all your help ladies. You've all done a great job making your own veils by the sounds of it. I took cookiemonsters advice and bought a veil for $15.00, our wedding is in March and I dont know how much spare time I'd have to do it.

Kristin - my mum made mine just like that!

Good luck with the wedding MadsMum

Big thanks to cookiemonster for mentioning that website. My veil arrived today, its a ripper for $15 plus $7 postage!! Not worth making one at that price..
