Customized Headpieces for Weddings & Other Celebrations

Welcome to The Veil Lady, a female-owned, Latina family business. My name is Rosemarie, and I design custom headpieces and handmade veils to work with each person’s face, hairdo, and dress for their wedding, quinceañera, or first communion.

Tailored to Your Needs

My veils and headpieces are one-of-a-kind creations. They are cut to length for your waist, wrist, fingertip, etc. I use bridal illusions. Any color of netting and metallic threads is available to accent your veil's edge. Veils can be edged with a fine line of thread or satin ribbon, which vary from 1/16-inch to 3 inches wide. They can also have a soft to ruffled edge, with or without a satin ribbon. Any layer can be detachable.

Restoring Heirlooms

I can also "refresh" your mother’s or grandmother's headpiece or veil for your wedding. Family heirlooms require delicate attention. Usually, the veiling does not survive, but the laces and beads do. Set up an appointment with me so I can view the headpiece and give you a quote.

Designing Accessories

I can also design face veils, beaded combs, headbands, bows, halos, floral sprays, or wreaths for you, and your wedding party.

Repairing Existing Veils

If you already have a veil and headpiece and are unhappy with them, I can repair or alter them. Sometimes, minor changes can solve the problem, such as adding a ribbon edging to the existing veil or even layers of bridal illusion.

Reshaping to Suit Your Face

Perhaps you bought a headpiece that matches your gown, but the shape is wrong for your face — worry not; I can reshape it for you.
Maybe someone you love dearly gave you a veil and headpiece that don’t suit your taste; I can subtly alter them to your satisfaction, so you can be confident and feel beautiful while wearing them. Don't despair; there are lots of options.

Beginnings

Verify the Color of Your Dress
Before selecting a veil or headpiece, verify the color of your dress to match the veiling. White satin dresses usually fit white bridal illusions; white silk fabrics are not the same bright white color. For these dresses, you need a diamond white, silk white, or eggshell bridal illusion. Fabric swatches are important to match the color.
Beadwork Check
Checking the beading on the dress is also important. To help me create the veil and headpiece of your dreams, provide me with the necessary details by answering these questions:
  • Are there pearls or crystals?
  • Is there a silver or gold accent in the beads?
  • What about rhinestones?
  • Are there sequins?
  • Are the sequins clear or iridescent?
  • Is there a definite type of flower on the dress?
Ensure Balance
Shy individuals might feel uncomfortable with an elaborate crown covered in rhinestones and monofilaments with a cathedral veil trailing behind. Choose a headpiece with the same elements as your dress, such as sequins, pearls, beads, flowers, and more. Your headpiece must have the same sparkle as your dress so it is balanced and won’t appear overwhelming. The dress, headpiece, and veil should frame you on your wedding day.
Proper Veil Fitting
Your veil and headpiece will raise the focal point from your dress to your face. Remember when you tried on a veil at a bridal fair, and all you saw was a veil? That was natural since you were dressed casually, probably in jeans or a miniskirt.
The wedding veil and dress are larger than life. To try on wedding dresses, dress up a bit — curl your hair and put on light makeup, some blush and eye shadow, or the wedding dresses will overpower you.
Let’s Consider Beading
Your wedding dress is dramatically designed and possibly heavily beaded. Most of the beading and appliqué work will be concentrated on the bodice, across the neckline, and over the shoulders of your dress. The sparkle (from pearls, beads, or sequins) in your headpiece and the color contrast between the veiling and your hair will draw attention to your face and balance your dress. Your headpiece must contain the same elements as your dress to raise the viewer's focal point from your skirt to your face. It does not have to be ornate but must contain the same elements. Beads in your headpiece will bring out the beading on your dress. Satin ribbon edging and the absence of beads in your headpiece will accent the fabric of your dress. Although, a few discreetly placed iridescent sequins can add a “spark” to your headpiece.

Contact Me for Custom Bridal Headpieces

What do you want for your wedding day? Let me help make your dreams become a reality. I'll design and coordinate your headpiece with your facial shape, hairstyle, veil, and dress’s neckline to create a picture-perfect look. If you already have a headpiece or veil, I can alter them to coordinate with you and your dress. If you select a simple headpiece, like a beaded comb, the veil can be removed after the wedding, leaving you with a hair ornament that you can use again because it does not look like a bridal item. You may want to make a plain wedding gown unique by adding some embroidery or beadwork. It just takes some planning.
