Personalizing Your Bridal Accessories: Small Details to Make your Bridal Veil Stand Out
Your wedding veil is more than just a piece of fabric; it's a symbol of love, tradition, and beauty. While you can find many "normal" veils in the salon, there are plenty of small ways to infuse your personality and style, making it uniquely yours.
Whether you're a modern bride looking for a contemporary twist or a vintage enthusiast seeking nostalgic touches, we've gathered some inspiring ideas to help you make your wedding veil as special as your love story.
Embroidered Initials or Wedding Date
Add a subtle yet significant touch by embroidering your initials or wedding date on the edge or corner of your veil. It's a sweet and sentimental detail that will make your veil truly one-of-a-kind.
Custom Lace Appliqués from your Mom's Vintage Wedding Dress
Work with a skilled seamstress to incorporate custom lace or appliqués that hold sentimental value for you and your family. Whether it's a piece of heirloom lace or fabric from grandma's vintage headpiece, these additions carry emotional significance down the aisle.
Remembrance Butterfly Veils
Consider sewing a small hidden butterfly for each family member who is watching on from heaven. The hidden butterflies will serve as a beautiful reminder that, even in their physical absence, your departed family members are always with you in spirit, sharing in your happiness, and watching over you from heaven.
It is a symbol of eternal love and the unbreakable bond between family members, even beyond the boundaries of life and death.
Sparkling Rhinestone or Resin Embellishments
If you're a fan of all things glittery and glamorous, consider adding subtle sparkling embellishments like crystals, sequins, or tiny pearls. The new favorite is the Sofia Richie inspired resin crystals that have a matte finish.
If you are a Disney - lover, you can even do a small Mickey Mouse in pearls or rhinestones.
Ombré or Dip-Dye Colored Veils
For a contemporary and artistic touch, experiment with an ombré or dip-dye effect on your veil. Choose colors that complement your wedding theme or even match your bouquet.
Covered in Flowers
Though botanical florals are a popular veil embellishment, these oversized, 3D floral appliqués feel decidedly fresh and and modern especially when placed over a chic and sleek bun.
Incorporate an Heirloom into your Bridal Look
If you have a cherished heirloom, such as a piece of jewelry, a brooch, or a veil, incorporate it into your own veil design. It will carry the history and love of generations before you.
