I found it!!! Go to this website: <a href="http://www.lorilondon.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.lorilondon.com/</a> Then, click on Collections (towards the top).  After that click on veiling.  If you scroll through the images they it is the second and last ones.  Hopefully you can buy from a store near you and if not, call them and see what they can do. Hope this helps!

I am doing the same!  I have envisioned this veil for almost two years, and when I saw that Katharine Mcphee wore it in her wedding (I didn't even know who she was), I was so relieved to finally have a picture so I can show people what I'm talking about!  It looks so beautiful!

Maybe you and I can start a trend!?!!?!!  <img src="/my-plugins/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/icon_smile.gif" /> As far as the hubby lifting the veil - yeah - I think he just folds it back like any other veil. And about attaching it - some people use hat pins.  I'm going to experiment with a comb (seeing if it is noticeable - and if it lays flat).... or bobby pins.  We'll see what happens.  Good luck!

I just googled Grace Kelly and Katherine McPhee and definitely see how it works. I just love it, it's perfect. THANK YOU, you guys are the best!!! (if anyone else has pictures as well, I'd love to see them)

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE those pictures! I have new hope. For those of you who wore / are going to wear "drop" mantillas (like in the grace kelly picture), how does it work when your hubby lifts the veil? Does he just fold it back and away?

Sorry - one more thing - I also  liked the mantilla but wanted something covering my face - like you I wanted the whole romantic - lifting of hte veil thing.  The bridal store thought it was strange - but I don't care - I think it will look nice.

I am having my mantilla cover my face!!! Yay - another person who might do this!! My AMAZING veil JUST came in YESTERDAY!!!  It is a Tony Frederici cathedral length veil and I'm going to wear it over my face - like a drop veil.   I had them not put a comb on it - so I will figure out where i want to attach it and do it myself. For another picture of a person who did this - Katharine McPhee did it - and you can kinda see it in the pictures of her in the People magazine - if you go onto their website they have the picture.  Or i have a picture in my knot bio - sarahandandy  I will be posting pictures of me in my actual veil sometime soon - if you want to check back and see what it looks like. I have also seen people who just attach another veil and have it over their face - but just don't love how that looks.
