Bride of Color

Finally Color! I was thrilled a couple weeks ago to receive the Jun/July issue of Modern Bride and see our Antique Gold veil on the inside story "Plaza Suite." Better still were the calls and emails from brides asking about Antique Gold!

One bride from New York mentioned that she wanted the color to match her shoes and the accent colors of her wedding; her dress was Ivory. I absolutely LOVE the creativity and uniqueness of this idea. Also....I have seen Antique Gold photographed and it is stunning!

As a bridal veil designer one of challenges I face is finding tulle to match all of the wonderfully colored gowns designer's are putting out. I always enjoy the challenge and currently Veil Trends carries 20 bridal colors!!

Putting the Look Together

Recently InStyle Weddings did a great story in their Spring 2008 issue entitled Veil Call. One of the veils features was our own V105. This Veil was pictured as a great option for a short dress.


Although I completely agree that the Russian Blusher works perfectly with a short dress, it is also very classy with a Silk or Chiffon mermaid style gown.

I am going to share with you a story I put together for Iowa's Event Planner entitled The Finishing Touch. This story encompasses 4 unique looks all using the same gown. I love this story because it gives you an idea of how you can drastically change your bridal look simply by changing out accessories.

The Finishing Touch
"When looking for a veil it is important to find the right piece to compliment your dress. An extravagant gown may need something sinple on top so as not to distract from the design of the dress. or perhaps your dress is simple and you are looking for just the right look to put it all together. Whatever your style here are some creative ideas to give you that finishing touch."


Elegant and Simple
This elbow length, ribbon edged veil is the perfect accent for an elegant yet simple look. The veil ties in the beautiful ribbon detail in the gown. The ivory flowered ring and simple pearl earings pull the look togther for a soft finishing touch.


Traditional

This full lace mantilla is sure to make a statement. For brides who are searching for a traditional look but want something unique this veil is a perfect piece. You may want to look for a dress to accent your veil!


Fun & Flirty

For those who do not want a traditional veil, the ostrich feather hair piece is a great way to tie your look together and have fun doing it!

Trendy Bride
Russian Blushers are a hot trend. A look that flatters your face and shows off your style.
