That, and i'm allergic to cigarette smoke. </p> <p>&nbsp;AOEBuckeye- Thanks for the input!! I just need to find a good seamstress in my area now.&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/veil-white-dress-ivory#post-65478 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 11:26:10 +0000 bearbride 65478@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>my coworker said that she dyed her veil by hanging it the basement of her house, and smoking cigarettes with her fiance.. gross!!!&nbsp; seriously i had a very similar problem, because my dress is a pale grey.&nbsp; i ended up buying a swatch sample set from veilshop and got the oyster color veil.. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/veil-white-dress-ivory#post-65476 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 11:11:49 +0000 AOEBuckeye 65476@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Tea dying does work well!&nbsp; I had it done, to my mother's white vintage veil.&nbsp; My seamstress did it, and very quickly too.&nbsp; She matched the exact shade of my dress (which is just a shade off of white, like most ivories).&nbsp; I'm not sure of the exact cost of just tea dying it, but having my mother's veil modernized from a Juliet cap to a comb and tea dying it was like $30.&nbsp; </p> <p>My advice would be get it tea dyed.&nbsp; It's cheap, quick, and makes the veil not stand out like a sore thumb (even if only you notice it!)</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/veil-white-dress-ivory#post-65450 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 08:49:27 +0000 SoCalBeachGirl 65450@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I don't think anyone will notice unless yuor dress is really more of a darker champagne color than ivory.&nbsp; </p> <p>For your own sanity, though, how about trying both on at the same time, and taking a picture to see if you can really tell the difference or not?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/veil-white-dress-ivory#post-65436 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 01:35:34 +0000 mamamiya 65436@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>PinkyJules- I can't exchange the veil, and Occansy.com (where I got my veil) is actually 5 dollars cheaper than Veilshop.com </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/veil-white-dress-ivory#post-65332 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 08:24:17 +0000 PinkyJules 65332@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Can you exchange your veil?</p> <p>Do you have both the dress and veil yet so you can actually see them together to see how it looks?</p> <p>I think your best bet is veilshop.com to get a new one.&nbsp; </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/veil-white-dress-ivory#post-65325 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 03:51:33 +0000 mamamiya 65325@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>December- does tea really work? Do you know anyone who has tried? I am definitely going to ask my seamstress if she can do it, if not... i'm going to put it on the line and attempt the tea dying. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Niki- I spent about 50 for my veil online since it's cathedral length... i don't want to spend another 50 if i don't have to. So we'll see. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/veil-white-dress-ivory#post-65273 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 14:45:07 +0000 Niki 65273@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Veils online are really cheap, can you just buy a new one?&nbsp; My seamstress made me on for $35 and it looked just like the ones in the bridal shops. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/veil-white-dress-ivory#post-65261 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 12:12:56 +0000 QueenoftheClick 65261@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I would get it dyed. I recently saw a bride with a gorgeous ivory dress and gorgeous white veil, but they didn't match. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/veil-white-dress-ivory#post-65253 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 11:30:25 +0000 December 65253@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>If you're brave, dye it yourself with tea! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/veil-white-dress-ivory#post-65239 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 09:51:11 +0000 stressgirl615 65239@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I had the same problem and when my seamstress saw me wear it with the dress, she told me she could dye it ivory to match.&nbsp; I really doubt it would really have shown up in the pictures, but since she was only charging me $5 to dye it, I got it down anyway.&nbsp; You should ask your seamstress if she has a similar service or find a store that can do it for you if it really bothers you.&nbsp; </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/veil-white-dress-ivory#post-65225 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 05:21:55 +0000 mamamiya 65225@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I bought my veil without having my dress, or a sample of the swatch. So now i have a White Veil and an ivory dress, will this make a big difference in pictures? Will it be really obvious to people, or just me? Is there anything I can do? </p>
