This is often referred to as accents or scattered embellishments. You might decide to have the veiling plain with an edging. Or you may choose to have an edging AND scattered embellishments. Or, even another choice is to have a plain edge with scattered embellishments. In any case, you can choose from a variety of embellishments to dress-up your veil. Embellished veils are often heavy, especially on cathedral length veils. So, you might elect to have your embellishments done on a shorter length, and possibly on a single layer veil. PLEASE NOTE: The three different prices in each category represent the three different WIDTHS available, which will determine the fullness of each layer at its gathering point. (54" - 72" - 108")
Sequin Clusters...
If you want your veil to sparkle, the ultimate step to take would be for embellishing it with sequin clusters. Creative Expressions sews sequin clusters to the veil with clear filament by hand for the best look possible. Clear sequins are the most common sequins used on dresses, but sequins with a rainbow-like or iridescent look can also used if those are what are used on your gown. Be certain you can specify the type of sequin for your veil (ask your bridal consultant when you order your dress). These prices are PER LAYER:
Shoulder = $40 $50 $60 Elbow = $55 $65 $75 Fingertip = $70 $80 $90 Cathedral = $110 $120 $130 Cathedral Plus = $125 $135 $145 Cathedral Long = $140 $150 $160
Scattered Pearls...
If your gown contains few embellishments itself (few if any pearls or sequins), a pearl embellished veil would work great with your total look without overpowering your dress. And, if your dress does have lace, with little if any pearls/sequins, one option would be to have Creative Expressions custom embellish your gown (in the same manner that your veil will be done) by adding pearls to it over the lace. This would indeed accent your gown while coordinating with your embellished veil beautifully. Check with me on the pricing of embellishing your gown. Synthetic pearls are sewn on by hand with white beading thread and each knot is glued on the underside to help prevent it from unraveling . These prices are PER LAYER:
Shoulder = $40 $50 $60 Elbow = $55 $65 $75 Fingertip = $70 $80 $90 Cathedral = $95 $105 $115 Cathedral Plus = $110 $120 $130 Cathedral Long = $125 $135 $145
Scattered Crystals...
World renown for their quality and beauty, Swarovski Austrian tin cut crystal beads or Aurora Borealis round cut beads are very pretty when attached to your veil. Because the crystals are made of leaded crystal, they are the heaviest embellishment available, but well worth their weight if you can handle it, at least for the duration of your wedding ceremony (detachable). Crystals are sewn by hand with white beading thread or monofilament and each knot is glued on the underside to help prevent it from unraveling. There are different sizes available, so just ask for a quote on the pricing of the different sizes. You will have to pay for the crystals separately, as this cost is not added to the pricing below. I will attach the crystals to your veil for the following PER LAYER prices:
Shoulder = $35 $45 $55 (plus materials) Elbow - $50 $60 $70 (plus materials) Fingertip = $65 $75 $85 (plus materials) Cathedral = $105 $115 $125 (plus materials) Cathedral Plus = $120 $130 $140 (plus materials) Cathedral Long = $135 $145 $155 (plus materials)
Appliqués
Appliqués sewn onto your veil can replace the lack of embellishment on your gown. Or if your gown does have appliqués of lace with or without pearl/sequin embellishments, having this done to your veil will serve the purpose of complimenting its design. Small lace motifs, fabric flowers, even re-embroidered ribbon or lace can be used. A swatch of material or a really good photograph of the design of the appliqués is highly recommended, as the style of appliqués can greatly vary. (i.e.-leaves, flowers, scrollwork, tiny pointy flowers, or large round shaped flowers, etc., etc.) You might decide to only use appliqués on a single layer veil. It is not recommend for use on the blusher, if a blusher is desired, since you would see the raw underside where the appliqués were sewn on when it is pulled over your face. Similar to laces, appliqués come with a wide price range, which is why you will pay for them IN ADDITION to the following PER LAYER prices:
Shoulder = $20 $30 $40 (plus materials) Elbow = $30 $40 $50 (plus materials) Fingertip = $40 $50 $60 (plus materials) Cathedral = $50 $60 $70 (plus materials) Cathedral Plus = $60 $70 $80 (plus materials) Cathedral Long = $70 $80 $90 (plus materials)
Combinations of These...
You may decide that you would like a combination of the above. For instance, you may want appliqués with sequins and pearls. Or, you may want sequin clusters with scattered pearls. Or, you may want scattered crystals and pearls. Since the possibilities are endless, I will give you a special quote depending on your wishes.
