Calling all vintage brides!

Ever since our wedding was featured on Green Wedding Shoes, I have received tons of emails from brides-to-be asking about my veil.  I was a little hesitant to make one for someone else because mine was kind of thrown together at the last minute, but after about the tenth email I realized that maybe I should give it a try.  Caroline contacted me raving about my ivory peony birdcage veil and how it was exactly what she wanted and I just knew that I had to make her dream come true!  I scoured the flea markets for a beautiful vintage brooch until I found a beautiful deep blue Austrian crystal one from the 1950s since Caroline’s colors are blue and yellow.  And she gets her “something old”, “something new”, AND “something blue” all in one item…SCORE!

I loved how it turned out SO MUCH that I am going to make a few more and put them up on my etsy shop.  And if you are a bride out there who is looking for a vintage twist, please contact me about making a custom veil for you!  Imagine the possibilities: any color/kind of flower, any color brooch, all tied together with a sweet little birdcage veil!
