New Kate Moss inspired Juliet Cap veil

Inspired by Kate Moss’s wedding veil, we have created a Juliet Cap veil in an Illusion version that looks timeless and elegant without breaking the bank. The unique feature of this Unveiled Bridal Designs’ spin of this inspiration is the capping effect of the top of the veil using ribbon, vintage lace and Swarovski beading. The ribbon cap frames the face and looks amazing with so many different hair styles. The Juliet Cap veil is available for ordering in our Custom Illusion Veil area.

 

 

 

 

Kate Moss style wedding veil

One of my brides had a wonderful request. She wanted to take her Grandma’s veil and have us make a Kate Moss style veil out of it, which is a Juliet Cap style veil. The veil was a gorgeous Mantilla with hand sewn lace, about 9 feet long, and was just waiting for it’s second life. So I took a look at Kate Moss’s amazing veil and set to work to recreate her look for our Unveiled Bridal Designs’ bride. The result is a timeless piece that has the look and feel of an antique veil. I hope this post inspires you to visit your Grandma and collect something old that we can turn into something new.  Available for customizing with illusion netting in our Custom Illusion Veil Area.

Spotlight Bride Narelle

Our Bride Narelle wore the amazing French netting Angle with amazing class and style we just had to share her photos with you. The Fascinator was a spin off of the custom Thea fascinator. Narelle wanted a “broach” style bobble so Dorene flanked 2 crystal buttons side by side and bridged them together with Swarovski crystals and pearls. The end result was a fascinator that had a timeless feel and amazing sparkle. Narelle’s groom also wore Buttonhole Boutonnieres.

Spotlight Bride Shannon

Our lovely Spotlight Bride Shannon wore our French netting Bandeau with a Brooke style fascinator with added guinea (polka dotted feathers) and centered with jet pearls and crystals. We loved Shannon’s wedding and enjoyed her photos so much we just had to share them with you.

A note from Shannon

Thank you so much, Dorene, for helping me design the beautiful veil for my wedding. You were so responsive, and helpful in the design phase, and when it arrived I loved it immediately. As soon as my hair dresser put it on, I couldn’t look in the mirror without tearing up a bit. It gave me that “Oh my gosh, I am a real bride!” moment that I will always treasure! My wedding day was the best day of my life in part because I worked with wonderful artists like yourself. I felt beautiful, confident, and full of joy all day.

My advice to future brides is to find those special handmade touches to make your day truly personal, and the moment you get up on your wedding day, take a big breath, and relax. This will be one of the happiest days of your life, so sit back and enjoy it.

Thank you Shannon for sharing your lovely photos.

 

 

 

Spotlight Bride Alix

Adorable Alix from Paris France wore our Chic Angle French netting Birdcage veil with Heather fascinator. She coupled her birdcage with a crystal headband and wore two gowns showing us two amazing gown combinations. One gown was a gorgeous mix of silk and lace with shorter sleeves and the other was a beaded lace gown with long sleeves.  A lot of brides will ask me if you can mix lace gowns with French netting veils or if you can add a crystal headband with a birdcage veil. These are good questions and we think Alix showed us not only can you mix lace and French netting, you can look elegant and timeless doing it. Enjoy Alix’s photos taken by famous French photographer Corinne Hameau from Encre Noire studios.

Alix is looking stunning in her lace gown with beading.

Yes you can wear French netting veils with lace! Love the look Alix.

The crystal headband added more sparkle to her look and grounded everything nicely

The lace gown with french netting Angle veil work so well together

The Angle looks amazing on Alix and gives a "hint" of vintage flare.

Here Alix is wearing the Silk and lace gown with shorter sleeves.

Thank you Alix for sharing your photos of you wedding day. You gave us so many lovely ideas and I am certain you will inspire many brides.

You may now add a crystal headband to your Unveiled order, just head to the Fascinator area of our Unveiled Bridal Designs site and they will be there for you to add to any of your veil purchases. 

Spotlight bride Chinwe

Chinwe was a wonderful and fun bride to work with. She ordered a fuller Angle that went below the lips, which she pulled up to expose her lips for some photos. The Fascinator was a custom creation of white with black tipped Chandelle feathers, guinea feathers, white biots and red biots. It was topped with a custom beaded cluster and the look was completely Chinwe! Enjoy her photos and be inspired. She created a look that was very chic and elegant using clean classic lines and wonderful pops of color.

Mardi Gras Triangle Masque

I love the movie The Count of Monte Cristo! In this amazing 2002
movie, the actor Jim Caviezel floats down as the Count of Monte Cristo in a hot air balloon to make his grand appearance and seek revenge on all who sent him to prison. The classy party had guests dressed in gowns with feathered hair pieces. There is also a great Mardi Gras scene in Rome that is very inspiring. Both scenes have a fun Mardi Gras feel thus inspiring this little French netting Triangle Masque to celebrate this years’ 2012 Mardi Gras festival.

As an Artisan, I love thinking outside the box in giving brides
more options for themed weddings and special occasions. This Triangle Mardi Gras
Masque is fashioned with Lady Amherst Pheasant feathers and gorgeous bronze Coque, finished with a crystal hand-beaded broach. The veil is an UVB exclusive shape
made with Espresso shimmer netting and topped with jet nut crystals. The look
is an over-the-top Unveiled Bridal Designs limited addition design.

Mardi Gras is on Feb 21st 2012. If you are interested in this masque let us know!

We would love to hear from you! Contact Dorene Direct to share your vision for a special veil, hat or fascinator for your themed wedding or party.

Removable Chinchilla feather extensions

There is something so edgy and yet girly about chinchilla feathers. Chinchilla is soft and can be curved and curled in the hair. We have lots of different length and sizes on our Fascinators Unveiled site of the removable chinchilla extensions. Here model Kayti Bell is wearing the 6″ long 3/4″ wide extensions that make a huge color statement in the hair. Our chinchilla extensions will come in a unit of 3 so you can wear one or three. Kayti is wearing all three for a nice feather surprise from both sides. The extensions will place under the hair and will come out just as easy. I think the advantage the removable extension have is you can change the position of the extension to accomodate different hair styles.

The earthy feel of the chinchilla feels natural and elegant with any look
