Wedding Veil

Through my last couple weeks of posting about my dress, a lot of people suggested that I may feel more “bride-like” with a really great veil.  I think that is exactly what I need.

My dress is more sleek and modern so a mantilla veil or anything traditional may be a bit too much.

For the past while, I kept thinking of those incredibly edgy veils that are really high fashion.

You know, like these ones:

Although these beautiful veils would be a bit too much for my dress, I think it’s a good starting point.

What I’m thinking of is more of a short, spunky, bubble veil.

These Romona Keveza veils are so awesome! I just love them.  They have a playfulness about them but still “bridal-like.” It is the perfect combination for what I am going for.

What I’m picturing in my head is something very similar to the ones shown above but is a bit shorter (above my shoulders), is much fuller and more 80’s (Did I just say 80’s?!?)

Does anyone have any great Bridal veil websites or blogs that I could use to find more inspiration and has anyone had any experience with getting custom veils made?

we heart your comments!

I loooooove the Sara Gabriel veil on the right! I think a style like that would actually look great with your dress.

Other than that, I didn’t wear a veil so no personal experience. Good luck though!

I love these veils and I too want to see more. I have seen very few above the shoulders veils but I want to see more. The closest I’ve seen are these 18″ veils http://weddingveil.com/veils2/catalog.php?category=2a

I had a whole infatuation with puffy veils a while ago – I still love them! A bubble veil would be so pretty with your dress. There are a few on Etsy that might work for you – I just noticed them in passing, so I don’t have a link handy.
