Veils Information, prices and YouTube videos to help you.
Here on the left, I have created an infograpic on a few steps to help you in your journey to find and create your Dream Veil.
REMEMBER my veils are all HANDMADE - specifically to your order- a true handmade bespoke veil.
Description of the veils and how they are constructed.
The "Normal" two layerd veil.
The 36", 48", 54" and 72" veils are circular. The 108" and larger veils are oval.
A veil usually has a portion about 25" from the end, which is folded over and gathered onto a comb. This creates the top layer or "Blusher" layer. The remaining length of the tulle falls down the back. So to give an example a 126" veil - the blusher portion could be 26" so giving the underlayer of 100" to fall down the back to the floor.
This shorter, "blusher" portion can be folded back over the head to cover the face to enter the wedding ceremony to walk down the aisle. This practice dates back to times of old when some say the bride and her attendants had veils to cover their faces so that evil spirits wouldn't know which was the lady to be married, so thwarting any curses that could be put upon her! The groom stands to the right to receive his bride to enable him to accept her on his left arm, so keeping his right hand free to brandish his sword should the need arrise!! Such Chivalry !!
A Single layerd Veil.
Single layerd veils are cut differently - they are cut in a U shape and then completely gatherd along the top of the U and sewn onto the comb, Therefor you can't have a flat single layerd veil.
You order the length you want as all the tulle length drops down the back.
A variation of a single layer veil is the Cascade cut, sometimes known as an Angel Cut, single layered Veils.
These can only be single layers as they have a specific cut to make the sides cascade down at the sides. I have noted on the photos of any cascade cut veil.
A note about "Drop" veils
I love drop veils. They can only be two layered veils as they are sewn flat onto a comb with no gathers.
SEE BELOW Youtube video showing these different styles of veils.
ALSO BELOW are the prices grids for the Veils I make.
For any furthefr help on lengths, prices etc contact me.
Sizes
There is a rough guide to the usual "normal" style sizes of veils, shown below- however all my veils will be made to your own specific order, so allowing you to have the length and width that you want. (Max width 3mts/118" -SILK only comes in widths of 70")
THESE MEASUREMENTS ARE FOR A GUIDE ONLY - I WILL MAKE THE VEIL EXACTLY THE LENGTH YOU WANT. TALLER GIRLS MIGHT WANT A LONGER VEIL.

The Combs & Clips
Here are the combs used on all the items on the site.
Top one is the large 4" (11cms) comb I normally sew onto the long veils,
The next one is the 3" (8 cms) comb which I sew onto the shorter veils and the full faced birdcage veils.
The bottom two are Toupe clips - which are used for the birdcage veils,
The larger one - 1+quarter inch or 3+half cms is the one I normally use for the "Brooke" veil - or sometimes the "Rebecca" and the smaller one - 1" or 3 cms- is the one I use for the "Amy" visor veils.
