DIY Veil

My dress was taffeta and I had a satin edge on my cathedral-length veil! No help on DIYing though. I've heard lots of girls have good luck buying on etsy, though!

@annakay511 that's beautiful! You look stunning! I'm definitely going to try a satin trim now. And if I don't have luck I'll order off of etsy. Thanks!!

Wow Annakay you look like you could be in a bridal magazine. So pretty!

Wow Anna you look amazing

My veil is cathedral length and is simple tulle. I bought mine off of lightinthebox.com. I paid $12 for it. They had one for $8 but it didn't have a comb. I wanted the comb LOL.

@maggie P thanks!! I'll check that out

I've bought many things from overseas and have no complaints. I bought a two tiered lace trim catherdral length veil and I love it BUT it's shorter than my dress ;-( and now I am going to attempt to make my own. I would also appreciate the advice from anyone who has made one. Youtube has a lot of tutorial videos as well. I visited a local fabrics store and bought the tulle for $1.50/yard and I bought a lace trim which now I do not like much cause it's too ivory (it was only $.50/yard)

At bridal salons the ivory veils always look almost white, I'm worried that my ivory tulle may be too dark.

Where is the best place to buy Alecon Lace Trim for the veil? Has anyone ever gotten them at a Michaels or Joann fabrics?

Almost_MLF made her own lace-trimmed cathedral length veil and it's beautiful. Check it out at https://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-forums/veil-regret/8a779117d7b7633f.html

A cathedral veil shorter than your dress??? How did that happen LOL???? I would be upset. Does your dress have a really long train? My dress has a train but not a very long one and my veil is way longer than my train on my dress. It doesn't have a trim either; I didn't want any. I wanted just a light weight simple tulle veil. I am sorry the veil was a dud.

Going to get supplies to start this process this weekend I think - so excited! Planning to buy the tulle in person so I can get a good feel for a sturdy one and applique that matches the style of my dress. I love the applique on the edges of the veil. I'm going to do a pretty long one because my dress will have a long train.

Happy to have a veil making buddy!
