Can I Iron My Veil
A mistake made by most brides is to iron their veil. unfortunately due to the fine quality of veiling that is required to produce a wedding veil they often get creased in transit, so it can be tempting for brides (or helpful friends) to iron their veil when they receive it. However there are two reasons why brides should not iron there veils:
1. For most of our decoration we use heat-sensitive bonding which is broken down when ironed or steamed causing the decoration to be removed.
2. Due to the fine nature of veiling it is also very easy to burn a veil whilst ironing it. Even low-temperature irons can discolor , burn or even melt the veiling.
All of this can be easily avoided however, by collecting your veil from the shop in plenty of time and hanging it in a safe place away from pets and small children. After a few days hanging, the creases will fall out and you will have a perfect veil for your big day.
Another great thing to do is, hang your veil, in the bathroom while you take a nice hot steam shower, the steam will release the wrinkles or creases.......
Can I Dye My Veil ?
We use dye on veils to produce colors that are not available elsewhere. Veils are dyed before decoration is added, as trims and gathers mean that the color varies over the veil. therefore we do not recommend dying completed veils yourself. instead , you should ask your bridal shop to show you color swatches.
Will I be able to wear my tiara all day?
Tiara bands are extremely comfortable, much more so than pressed bands which are the normal from most manufactures, They are so comfortable that you'll probably forget that you are wearing your tiara!
If i have a long veil will it get in the way?
A long veil is a beautiful way to finish off your dress. You can ask for a detachable train which enables you to wear a long veil during the ceremony and whilst your photographers are being taken, but then can be removed from the comb leaving a smaller, easier to manage veil for you to wear for the rest of the day. You can also choose to have each tier on a separate comb so that your hair is not completely covered, and you are still able to remove tiers during the course of your day.

Can I dye my veil?
We use dye on veils to produce particular colors that are not available elsewhere. Veils are dyed before decoration is added, as trims and gathers mean that the colour varies over the veil. Therefore we do not recommend dying completed veils yourself. Instead, you should ask your bridal shop to show you our colour swatches or they can send us a swatch of the colour you require and we can match this as closely as possible before decorating and completing the veil for you.
Will I be able to wear my tiara all day?
Tiara bands are extremely comfortable, much more so than pressed bands which are the norm from most manufacturers. They are so comfortable that you’ll probably forget that you are wearing your tiara!
If I have a long veil won’t it get in the way?
A long veil is a beautiful way to finish off your dress. You can ask for a detachable train which enables you to wear a long veil during the ceremony and whilst your photographs are being taken, but then can be removed from the comb leaving a smaller, easier to manage veil for you to wear for the rest of the day. You can also choose to have each tier on a separate comb so that you hair is not completely covered, and you are still able to remove tiers during the course of your day. We have recently created a blusher that is entirely on its own comb and has a unique fullness and shape, giving the full halo effect of a veil without being attached to the back tier.
I don’t really like net; are there any alternatives?
You might not have looked closely at our veils you can choose organza, chiffon, soft veiling (also known as faux silk) or millinery net as an alternative. There is also the possibility of having a single tier veil, which can be worn at the back of the head, cascading to the shoulders or all the way to the floor, without covering the face. Finally, our trails are an interesting alternative to a traditional veil.
