    cheerful    September 2009 - eloped  

    When I decided I simply must have the Sara Gabriel Madison veil, but slightly shorter, I then had to face the $390 price tag. Unwilling and unable to pay so much, I put out an alchemy request on etsy for the veil and received ten bids within twenty-four hours. I ultimately went with Sarah of Goff Couture (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7051839) due to her amazing projects listed on her blog (http://goffcouture.wordpress.com/), which includes a custom nursing bra! Sarah was really wonderful through the whole process and sent me photos at each step. She first cut the veil and sent me photos so I could OK the shape, then pinned muslin strips where the hand-beading was to go so I could approve the placement. She changed the placement cheerily upon request, and then hand sewed swarovski crystals and fresh water pearls on to the veil, then resewed them when I wanted a slight change in the design. All this for $110 - and it would have been cheaper if we'd gone with glass pearls and plastic crystals. She was a delight to work with, extraordinarily prompt, and extraordinarily thorough. My veil is... simply breathtaking. I'm in love!

    Awww, that's great to hear!  I purchased my ceremony veil from an Etsy seller, as well -- for about half the cost of purchasing a similar style from a bridal salon! 

    Can you post a picture?

    I'd be really curious to see a pic as well. I plan on being a 2 veil bride and was recently quoted $375 for a catherdral and a fingertip. There is some beading and the bridal shop will make this 2 piece veil for me but I feel that's a bit more than I would like to spend. Maybe I would be better off using your reference from Etsy?

    Okay! - here are pictures of the veil on Sarah - they really don't do justice to it. The veil is so light and ethereal and the beading patterns make it sparkle really gently.
