You can book your veil appointment online You’ll need to know the colour of your dress first!
How to choose a veil
My personal opinion: These days, most brides are looking for something simple that does not compete with the dress since there are a lot of lace and other mixed-fabric gowns. Cut edge veils go with everything, and for those who like a trim, rattail (a round cord) is very popular. With a plain dress, you can have some fun with lace trims, applique and other options!
For drama… nothing beats a chapel or cathedral length veil. Two popular options are a cut edge – so it can blow in the wind, or lace edged/applique to create a train.
Some Sweet options for your veil
- Colours: white, diamond white, light ivory, creamy/dark ivory
- Trims: cut edge, ribbon (satin or organza), satin cording (rattail), lace
- Embellishments: Swarovksi crystal can be scattered on your veil to pick up some sparkle and light
- Lengths: waist (29″), butt (32″) fingertip (36-40″), waltz (54″), chapel (7ft) and cathedral (9ft)… and anything in between.
- Tiers: 1, 2 or more! Detachable blushers (2nd tier) are also available on elastic loops
- Cuts: top hem (standard), drop veil/centre cut.
- Fullness: most veils have standard fullness (72″ wide)

A note about lace: It’s tough to pair a lace veil with a lace dress, and very easy for the two to compete. I offer two types of lace veils; those with a very lightweight lace all the way around and a top hem, and veils with a heavier Alencon lace that starts almost as it hits the ground. There are also many options with lace applique.
Custom Pieces: Some variations of what we already offer on the racks are available to be made; e.g. if you want two tiers instead of one, a different length, increased fullness (108″ tulle) or crystal added. I will only take on orders that include in-stock materials; although if you want a veil in a specialty colour tulle, you can bring that to me. Extra charges apply.
We also have lots of feather fascinators and birdcage veils for that vintage look. Check the Accessories section of our Shopify store.
