Did It Myself: Veil

July 23rd, 2010 by     


My veil was the first and most important DIY project for our wedding. Although the following are not specific instructions maybe they will help another DIY bride out.

I measured my tulle… you can see my former entry for estimated measurements here

For my double layered veil I doubled the length.  Then I cut it to the shape I wanted, folded it in half, and then made the top layer slightly shorter than the bottom layer.

Armed with my pearls, crystals and thread I set to decorating (the most time consuming part)
