Hannah & other vintage styles
The Hannah, Mary, Heather & Other Vintage Style Veils
The Hannah two layered veil
This veil was commissioned by Hannah (and so named for her) - to be made for her wedding- from a 1970's pattern she had sourced. It is basically two veils sewn together the top layer slightly shorter to give the cascade effect of the layers- then and a circular shape of elastic is sewn onto the crown to cup the head- it is made specifically for a coronet to be placed over.
Hannah had a distinctive Hannah Belinda vintage dress and so wanted the veil making in honey gold tulle.
This veil is featured on Love my Dress blog.

The Heather, open back draped cowl veil.
This veil is very different than other style veils. It has an open back, draped cowl effect. It is fixed into the hair with toupe clips, or small combs if you wish, at the side of the head so allowing the open cowl to drape down and leave the back of the bodice exposed. The lovely details of the dress can be seen through this open back. Photos by Maddie Farris Photography

The Mary Veil
The "Mary" veil.
This is really a variation on a normal two layer veil but I have attached a band of the "Mary" lace to the top of the veil instead of a comb. This lace is then used to secure the veil in place around the head.
There is two layers, so the top layer can be worn over the face as a blusher.
Other laces could be used.
The Heather Drape veil
The "Heather" draped back veil.
This is a veil which is made to give a cowl effect of tulle at the back. It is secured to the head with two combs or clips at the edges. Its especially effective if the bride wants to show the details of her dress at the back.
The bubble 50's style veil
A 50's style bubble veil.
This veil is a very short two layer veil, cut very wide. Its also known as a bubble veil.
Although it is a short veil it is a "big" veil. It can be made with any of the edges featured on the veil pages.
