WEDDING ARTICLES, TIPS & ADVICE






How To Make A Wedding Veil
Making your own wedding veil really isn't that hard to do! Take a look at these simple tips:

Having a wedding veil that you made yourself (or that a friend or family member made for you) is precious. It becomes a precious wedding heirloom to pass down for your daugter to wear at her wedding...and it saves you money now! Even if you feel challenged by using a needle and thread - making a wedding veil really isn't that difficult!

The average veil in a bridal boutique can run you upwards of $50-$200! (Of course, designer veils and those with extra embellishments will cost even more). If you go to a craft store and buy the materials needed to make a wedding veil it will probably be around $30 or less!

There are so many different veil styles and decorations you can choose from! The first step really is selecting the style of veil you want. The way you make your veil will depend on the style and embellishments you select. (Make sure the style goes with your gown style). So, how to go about making your veil?:

1. Search around the Internet for wedding veil styles. Print out a photo of the style you have selected.

2. This is a common list of what you will need to make most veils. Most of these can be found at your local arts and crafts, fabric or floral supply stores.
* White floral wire
* Heavy button hole thread to gather top edge of tulle (tulle is the fabric used in most veils)
* Silk flowers/pearls/beads (depending on what you will be using)
* Velcro (if veil is to be detachable)
* Fabric from dress or similar fabric to cover head frame
* Wide ribbon to cover the inner portion of the headpiece
* Batting to add dimension if using a headband or barrette
* Plastic combs to keep headpiece/veil in place.

Once you have decided on the style and you have gathered the items necessary to make your veil, it is time once again to get creative. If you know how to sew, then you probably won't have a lot of problems. But, if you need some help, talk to some family members and see if there is anyone who can give you a hand. Your craft store can also be a great help. Sometimes they even offer classes - or may be willing to give you a class - on how to make a veil.

Jo-Ann Fabrics is a great resource and fabric/crafts store, they carry tulle, and other veil components at very reasonable prices.

Another tip: If your wedding dress has beads or sequins on it, see if you can get some extra from the store you buy your dress. That way, you can use the exact beads or sequins used on your dress on your veil.

Remember - this is supposed to be fun and to save you some money! If you get too stressed out or just aren't enjoying it, find a good friend and ask for help! Or, go out and buy your wedding veil.
