Finished reimagining my mom's wedding veil!

Tina, on May 13, 2019 at 10:20 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 23
It's taken me approximately 20 hours of work but I took my mom's 50 year old lace chapel length veil and added 3d floral appliques throughout to make it my own and add a unique touch to go along with my lavender wedding gown. The pics aren't the best as I don't have a big space to lay out the veil and I don't want it to be a cat toy either. Lol All the appliques had to be cut out and then pinned before I hand sewed every one. 13 appliques per side and 13 scattered across. Right now I have one hair comb attached but that might change as the veil is heavy. Anyways I thought I would share!

    This is simply stunning. You should do something with veils on a regular basis! There are a lot of people who sell them on Etsy. I bought mine from there for only 60 dollars and I absolutely adore it! It gives brides other options than having to pay an arm and a leg for them! You would be great at that! Smiley heart
