Falling in Love with Handmade Veils ...

There are so many details we continuously go back and forth about for our wedding day, whether it is the color of the bridesmaids' dresses, the shape of the cake, or even the decision to wear a veil as we walk down the aisle. Some brides don't like the look of a veil and just wear a simple flower or headband in their hair, while others love the drama the veil adds to their wedding gowns. When you see these gorgeous veils from Amy-Jo Tatum Bridalyou might fall in love and make that decision today, to veil or not to veil....
VEILED...
"When Chelsea Clinton donned a long, flowing veil at her July 2010 wedding suddenly classic veils were in the spotlight once again. Exactly a year to the day Chelsea said, "I Do," a long shot of white tulle was seen trailing a beautifully gowned and tiaraed Zara Phillips as she emerged from her limo. If you want to look like a traditional bride in all her romantic and time-honored splendor, by all means top your look off with a veil. It's the absolute finishing touch that says, Bride. From the ethereal beauty of the drop veil to the Oh La La! of a small tulle head pouf, here are a few chic looks worth perusing . . . ."
"Above: Waltz length double layered white tulle edged in satin ribbon."
"Going vintage doesn't necessarily mean sticking to a particular era. Above, an Art Deco-inspired gown is paired up with an authentic 1960's era veil. Layers of tulle attached to a lace and jewel embellished Juliet cap give this bride a timeless look. "
"A gown with exquisite back details like the one above calls for a shorter veil like the petal or fly away in gathered tulle tacked to the back of a chignon."

Amy-Jo'sdesigns inspire new ideas and feelings that make me wish I was planning my own wedding day all over again! The lace and the delicate fabrics are just so romantic.

i LOVE handmade veils! so special!

Gah! These are incredible! I don't know which style I prefer more - long or short. They are all so gorgeous! :)

wow, these are so beautiful!

So cool to see different styles! I love the style Kate wore over her face like on the page 1 here. Very romantic! I handmade my veil... 10 days before the wedding. I didn't think I needed one until I saw a venetian style. Just a strip across the eyes... I thought it was very necessary!

These are all gorgeous! My favorites are the 1960s one and the tulle pouf!
