"Something Borrowed" Veil!

Michaela, on August 5, 2019 at 5:15 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 6

So, I'm at work and my coworker friend just came over to give me her veil from her wedding!! Veils came up last week in conversation when I showed her pictures of me in my dress. I was wearing a veil (that I didn't purchase) in the picture, and she says "I wore the same kind, you can totally have it if you want." I told her about my idea of using a veil as something borrowed, so that would be perfect!! So now I'm "borrowing" her veil with the intent of "forgetting" to return it LOL

It was such a fun surprise! I knew she was pretty serious about letting me have it, but I didn't expect her to bring it in for me so soon!

On another note, anyone have any tips on how to lightly wash a veil?? It's been sitting in a box for a few years lol Smiley laugh

    That's super nice of her!

    I used my mom's veil - it was 45 years old, and had been stored in a plastic bag - and it didn't need washing (though the 1970s headband had to be replaced with a comb lol) - have you aired it out and looked at it? Maybe it doesn't need washing? If it does, I would talk to a professional about doing it.

    Yeah maybe just a good airing out will suffice Smiley smile

    I love your something borrowed! And depending on how much cleaning the veil needs, I would just take it to a professional. Not worth messing it up, in my opinion!

    It's 36 inch I believe or fingertip at the longest, not 100% sure since I didn't try it on while sitting at my desk LOL. It's plain with a small bead border. It's exactly what I would've bought if I had purchased one!
