And in a puff of tulle, she vanished....







I saved this picture months and months ago because I love it. I don't particularly like veils but this one is so crazy I'm smitten. I can just see the bride ordering it from a veil maker (veilier? Tulle Artist? Froth Fancier?) "no bigger, I want it bigger. Big I tell you! Big! Huge! Enormous! Yes, now you've got it. Thank you."

The fact that she is fixing the veil in place with hairspray is just too brilliant.


After a long hibernation I'm starting to feel stirrings of interest in weddings again. It's been a while but I think I'm back.

  2. I was never a "veil person" either, but then I tried on this long Vera Wang number made of tulle that looks exactly like that picture. It was just too beautiful not to buy. Oh, and the pictures...

  6. Veils are fabulous. Weddings are fabulous. I'm glad you're back, BUT, I also love all your non wedding posts too. Don't feel boxed in. x

  10. That is fantastic.

    I have gone for the complete other option: silk tulle so soft it is like 'vintage candy floss' (quoting my sister in law the designer who is acting as my veilier (?!))

    But I do love that image nonetheless.
