MemberI want a two-tier veil that goes all the way to the ground, and edged in lace and pearls to match my dress. Would this be hard to DIY? The premade ones are so expensive.
MemberWhether or not it would be hard to make depends on your skills.
I’m a decent seamstress, but I hate hate HATE sewing netting and sheer fabric on my machine – and I’m too impatient to edge an entire veil by hand. I ended up buying my veil online from http://www.wedding-veil.com
You have a bit of time before your wedding; if you’re patient and you have some experience with a needle and thread, I would think that you could manage. Do you have an inspiration picture?
MemberMemberRaw-edged veils are by far the easiest to DIY, because of what the PP said about having to sew on tulle and net.
I also wanted a lace-edged cathedral veil. We ended up semi-DIY’ing it: I got two ready-made veils from Light In The Box and we put them together to get the look we were aiming for. (I started a thread about it here.) I found that the best veils on their website were still affordable and quite good quality (although the lower-priced ones were not so awesome). Maybe you could go that route?
Memberi dont have an inspiration photo on the computer, i found a picture of one on a flyer at Hobby Lobby, and ever since every other veil just looks so plain.
MemberDid the flyer at Hobby Lobby promote a class or products to DIY the veil? If you have step-by-step instructions that will eliminate one part of the difficulties.
Here is a link to a Bee who made a lace and pearl timmed veil: http://diy.weddingbee.com/topic/diy-2-tier-veil (She says she glued on the trim, carefully!) If you are looking for a thicker lace, like hers, that would be a less time consuming option.
