Here, I look at the pros and cons of making your veil versus buying one.
(Sidebar: If you are listening to the video at left, you may notice a couple of
meows in the not-so-background. That is Shadow, who insists on being part of any
conversation in her vicinity.) Pros: Making Your OwnThe two major advantages to making your own veil are: (a) you can pick out exactly what you want your veil to look like, ending up with the perfect veil for you and (b) the starting price of making your own veil is more economical than buying. [Sidebar: A nice selection of discount bridal tulle, lace, and other fabrics is available at this retailer.]Cons: Making Your OwnOn the flip side, it does take a bit of talent to put on some decorations
and if you want embroidery you should be at least proficient at sewing. Also,
the cost can add up quickly. If you have a long veil, you may need two-four or
more rolls to get all the way around the edge. Pros: Purchasing a VeilWhen you buy a
veil instead of DIY, you save time versus spending hours doing the veil
yourself. Also, it could be cheaper. You may not know in the last two or three
years the supply of veils at a lower price point has really exploded. Pros: Buying a Plain Veil and Customizing With DecorAnother option you may think about is to buy a plain veil--with ribbon edging and no embellishments, for example. You can then modify it by adding your own rhinestones, beads, florals, etc. Supplies and Products for Each Option
