Wedding Veil Series: Single Layer Veil

Last weekend Paul's best friend Brandon married his gorgeous wife Kaylie and I had the privilege of making her wedding veil. Kaylie chose a single layer tool veil that she wore below her gorgeous up-do.

We are so happy for them and wish that we could have joined them on their special day!

See my Etsy shop Sew Help Me by Marissa to purchase your own wedding veil!

Sew Help Me by Marissa

Today I opened my Etsy shop Sew Help Me by Marissa! I am SO excited to have a few bridal veils and accessories currently listed there. You all know how many veils I have been making recently!

Please stay toned for additional items.

Wedding Veil Series: Double Layer Dazzling Veil

I love Paul's cousin Bree and was ecstatic to make her wedding veil, a double layer veil edged with rhinestones. I hand sewed the rhinestone trim onto the veil and, similar to my wedding veil, added elastic loops to slip over the decorative comb's teeth so the veil could be removed at the reception.

Bree and her husband had a gorgeous day and we were happy to be a part!

Wedding Veil Series: Second Mid-length Veil with Blusher

I had the pleasure of meeting Kate through our husbands, who were friends in high school. Kate was a beautiful bride and I was honored to make her wedding veil. But it wasn't just any veil. Do you recognize it? It's the same pattern I used to make my own veil!

Kate made her veil original by adding a gorgeous floral and feather hair accessory. Later at her reception she removed the veil but left in the floral hair accessory, which accented her french twist beautifully.

Here's to wishing them many happy years to come. We look forward to being a part of it!

Wedding Veil Series: Mid-length blusher with trim

I am so happy for my long time friend Megan and her new husband Kevin. She looked radiant on her special day and I had the pleasure of enhancing her beauty with a mid-length blusher veil trimmed with ribbon.

We enjoyed a veggie pizza and caught up while I made Meg's veil one night last month. Wishing them all the love two people can share and praying they will have a blessed union.

Wedding Veil Series: Cathedral Length with Lace

I had the pleasure of meeting Kate through our husbands, who were best friends in college. In fact, Michael and Paul were each other's best men in our weddings!

I had a lot of fun making Kate's veil for her and we got to know each other a lot better during her fittings. Kate's veil was my first Cathedral length veil and it was trimmed with a elegant lace trim that accented the lace on her dress beautifully.

Thank you for making us a part of your special day and here's to wishing you two a life time of happiness!

Birdcage Veil Accessories

Many birdcage veils are beautiful without any adornment, but if you're looking to make your birdcage veil a little more trendy a floral hair accessory at the base of the veil can be just what you're looking for. I had a lot of fun making this rose and feather hair accessory!

Wedding Veil Series: Birdcage Veil

After trying my hand at a mid-length veil with a blusher I decided to try my hand at a birdcage veil. I was very torn between the traditional veil and this hip/trendy veil when deciding what to wear at my own wedding because the birdcage veil is so beautiful!

Here is the tutorial I used from The Dapper Bun. Which of these veils do you like best?

Wedding Veil Series: Mid-length Veil with Blusher

I have had the pleasure of making three wedding veils in the last year to help my friends (and myself) cut a few corners on wedding costs. 


The first veil I made was a mid-length veil with a blusher, for my own wedding! I was especially proud of myself because I borrowed a beautiful comb from my friend and brides-maiden, Stephanie, that she wore on her wedding day. I wanted to wear the comb to the reception without the veil. In order to do this I made elastic loops to slip the comb teeth through. All I had to do to take the veil off was take out the comb, slip off the veil, and replace the comb.
