Custom made cathedral mantilla veil is a long veil. This mantilla veil can be up to a 120 inches long by 60 inches wide oval. It can also be worn as a drop veil, part will fall over your face. Your mantilla veil will be made to order just follow the steps below.
This item is for a veil with a Cut Edge (also called plain edge or no edge).
Cut edge is nice because it disappears into the gown and it's economical.
Convo me if you want a different edge, you will need to order from a different item.
Design your veil step by step (I'd love to help, just ask!)

Step 1: Wedding Veil Length
How to find Your Specific Length:
1 - order Find a friend to help you, a full length mirror is helpful too
2 - Wear the same shoes (or same height) as your wedding day. If possible try on your gown
3 - Place a string or tape measure on your head where you plan to wear your veil
4 - Run the string down your back and out straight behind you
5 - Mark where you want it to end
6 - Measure the string
7 - For a drop veil start the string in front where you want it to end, run it up over your head and down your back, measure the entire length
Some Cathedral Wedding Veil lengths to try:
120 inches
108 inches
96 inches
Note that the widest the veil can possibly be is 60" because that is the widest the English net is made.
If you want more than 120 inches or less than 85 inches convo me because the price is different, we do make all lengths.
For a Drop Veil:
Need a blusher?
Your mantilla will need to be longer. Place the string over your head so one end is in front where you want the blusher to end, run the rest up and over your head and mark it in back where you want your veil to end, measure. Or convo me for more mantilla blusher options.
Step 2: Bridal Veil Fabric
This item is for an English net veil. Convo me for other fabrics like bridal illusion, organza and chiffon. Most veils are made of bridal illusion.
English net is also known as Dress Tulle. English net is a netting similar to bridal illusion only the fibers are a little larger. It is 100% polyester so it's smooth and durable. The English netting is heavier than bridal illusion so it's not as poofy as bridal illusion, yet it's almost as transparent. It almost has the same look as Silk Tulle.

This is a mantilla veil, a flat circle with no gathering so it is very transparent. This length also comes in the traditional and waterfall style, convo me for that item.
Step 4: Veil Color
White
Ivory
Champagne
If you need a different color, you must choose a different fabric, see my other items.
Step 5: Wedding Veil Edges

Looking for cathedral veils with Swarovski crystals or faux pearls?
Order an embellishment from our "Veil Embellishments" section [it's still has some growing to do, so convo for me if you don't see what you want].
Embellishments can be scattered throughout the veil or staggered along the edge.
Step 7: Bridal Veil Attachment
Our 2" straight pin is great if you want to attach your veil for any point and move it later. Otherwise, choose one of our permanent options: your choice of our 3.5 inch clear plastic comb, 3.25 inch wire metal comb, 4.25 inch clear plastic comb, just loops or we can attach it to your tiara. For a drop veil we will need to know how far back from the front you need the comb to be placed.
