Make Your Own Vintage Wedding Veil

Make Your Own Vintage Wedding Veil

Finding an authentic vintage wedding veil is cumbersome and an uphill task. In a lot of cases, they tend to be expensive.

If you are a bride on a budget, but you don’t want those store bought off the rack veils, why not make your own customized one.

Making a simple wedding veil is very easy and requires only a few steps. But we know that the stress of putting together a wedding may not give you the privileged of time to make a bridal veil.

So, if you feel that making your own wedding veil seems too daunting and overwhelming for you at this stressful time, why not assign the duty of making the veil to your mother, sister or maid of honor.

All they need for the work are a pair of scissors, a comb (or a tiara with a comb inset), faux pearls or diamante, fabric glue, needle and thread, and most important of all, tulle. Tulle can be found in major
fabric stores in a variety of types and color.

Choose the soft tulle, and not the stiff and scratchy types.

Decide what length of veil you want.

• For a shoulder-length veil, you will need 24 inches of fabric.
• Waist length will require about 32 inches.
• For fingertip length, you will need 40 inches.
• Floor length will vary by your height.
• You can also have a longer, cathedral-length veil that goes onto the ground.
