All our veils are hand gathered onto a metal comb from nylon bridal illusion tulle. They come either standard or bouffant style and are available in elbow, fingertip, chapel and cathedral lengths. Additional lengths are available on certain styles. The following edgings are available: plain cut, machine rolled, soutache, rattail, Swarovski's rhinestones and crystals, scalloped, satin ribbon in various widths, gold/silver trimmed and many more. Custom lengths and additional tiers are available in addition to our standard lengths. Scattered crystals, rhinestones and pearls may be added for an additional charge. |
| Bouffant comb is hand gathered all the way across. The finished veil has more fullness and appears to be two layers. |
 |
|
| Standard comb is hand gathered only in the center of the veil. The veil is similar to a circular veil with a beautiful drape and less fullness at the top. |

We currently use 72-inch wide bridal illusion tulle, because we feel that it's the most flattering and doesn't make the veil too poofy and thick. We only use the 108-inch wide tulle for cathedral length. We don't recommend the 108-inch width tulle with shorter veils simply because it is too full and it obscures the back of the gown and overshadows the bride.
Elbow Length: Can be worn with short or long gowns with or without a train and will show off any detailing at the waist of the gown. Used for formal and semi-formal weddings. Great choice for petite brides. To achieve the same look for a bride who is over 5' 9" tall, we recommend the fingertip length veil.
Fingertip Length: Can be worn with any gown longer than tea length. It falls right at the fingertips of the bride if her hands are at her side. Not recommended for brides shorter than 5' 4"( the petite bride) because this length will make you look disporportioned and smaller.
Cathedral Length: Only recommended with cathedral length gowns. They are used for formal weddings and generally the veil will extend onto the floor at least six or more inches past the train of the gown.
Blusher: A shoulder-length layer of the double layered veil that is worn over the face. Typically combined with other lengths and can be used for both formal and semi-formal weddings. Blushers should not be longer that 34 inches or they will tangle in your flowers.
Single Tier Lengths: 30"(blusher), 36"(elbow), 42"(fingertip), 90"(chapel)--- available in 72" wide tulle
Cathedral 108"---available in 72" and 108" wide tulle
2 Tier Lengths: 25/30"(elbow) ; 30/36"(elbow) ; 30/42(fingertip) --- available in 72" wide tulle
Cathedral 30/108"---available in 72" and 108" wide tulle
IF YOU DON'T SEE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR, PLEASE ASK. WE DO CUSTOM LENGTHS, SPECIAL EDGINGS AND ATTACHMENTS.
Our veils come in white, diamond-white or ivory. Diamond is just barely off-white and matches most modern gowns that are called off-white, natural, pearl-white, or diamond-white. The ivory veils match most modern gowns called candlelight, ivory, or cream.
Our veils are attached to a metal comb and can be worn in the front or back of the head. Most modern brides today chose to wear her veil just below her up-do like a soft and translucent waterfall leaving the headpiece (tiara) to be admired from the front without distraction.
Although veil length is a matter of personal preference, the veil should accentuate and be porportional to the dress and you, not take away the focus of your gown or any lavish designs on the back of the gown. We recommend single layer tulle veils simply because of its' sheerness and etheral romantic look, especially the cathedral length. It's our favorite style.
