Here are some places which are fairly inexpensive to buy them:
I remember a bee on here making her own mantilla, or maybe her mom did it? I would do a search in the blogs. I remember it was very long (cathedral) and AMAZING!
I also remember seeing a blog on here about making a mantilla veil. Check the DIY section on this site.
My sister in law made my mantilla veil and she did an amazing job. She also made her own for her wedding. It was beautiful and I got so many compliments on it. If you run into any problems I can ask her since she has experience with them and really knows how to work with the materials.
Mine was medium length down to my upper thigh in the back. I wore my hair all down since I wanted to wear the veil further back to have a flower in my hair. It was all very much spanish inspired. I attached a pic below for the style I went for.
Good luck and I hope you get exactly what you want for your big day!! I love that you are doing a mantilla with your beautiful dress!

They are soooo easy to make. I'm not very crafty and I made mine with a little help from a craftier friend :) You need bridal tulle, a hair comb, lace, and I used clear thread. I then trimmed the tulle to the right shape and length (i rounded my corners and made it a bit narrower towards the top) and gathered the top part together, stitched it, and then sewed the gathered part to the underneath part of the comb, then pinned the lace around the edge, and stitched using the clear thread. The lace I used had pearls and sequins so the clear thread blended in. It took a long time, but worth the money saved!

Well i found a mantilla veil that is realllllllllllly expensive. I was wondering if anyone made their own mantilla veil? I want a really long mantilla veil and i dont know at all how to start making it.
Also, does anyone have suggestions on how to wear a mantilla veil? Hairstyles? I really liked mrs chapagnes mantilla veil.
Well, thanks in advance!! My wedding is coming up in two weeks and since i already have a veil im cutting it pretty close but its just a last minute thing that i reallly like now that i see them more and more.
Also, here is my dress it has clear sequins and some tiny pears. i lurrrrrrve it
