Wedding veil is one of the traditional wedding items for brides. Embellishments such as pearls and small crystals can make a wedding veil look glamorous and special. Below are some ideas.

Scattered Pearls

Scattered pearls offer a lovely, classic look. This style is best suited to a dress that already has pearl beading. It can be difficult to find a veil maker that uses genuine pearls, rather than artificial ones, on a veil, but if the bride wants to save the veil for posterity, genuine pearls are preferred.

Scattered Flowers

Silk flowers can be sewn to a veil to create a gorgeous garden-party look. This is especially lovely on chapel and cathedral length veils, where the bulk of the petals and flowers can be concentrated near the bottom of the veil, away from the face, where such a dramatic element can distract from the bride.

Scattered Rhinestones

Rhinestones are often seen on bridal veils, adding extra detail and sparkle. Scattered rhinestones should always be very small, no more than 3mm in diameter maximum. Because scattered rhinestones are flat-backed, larger rhinestones can catch the light from flash photography badly, and show up as black dots on the veil. If you are gluing the rhinestones, use only fabric glue, as other types of strong-hold glue will discolor the back of the stone and cause it to appear yellow.

A homemade bridal veil appeals to many brides who are having a formal or fancy wedding because they can be dressed up appropriately. However, don't add too many embellishments to your veil because it may become too heavy, which could be uncomfortable and might make the veil slip during your wedding. Add hair clips to the underside of your veil or sew a thin piece of elastic into it and cover it with your decorations. This will help hold the veil on your head during the ceremony and reception.
