5 out of 5 starsExactly how it looks in the pictures. Comes with 2 combs but you can remove the larger one and use your own.

5 out of 5 starsThe veil was exactly as described and absolutely perfect! I couldn't quite figure out how to make it stay on the bridge of my nose...somehow it worked in spite of user error.

4 out of 5 starsBeautiful item. I was disappointed there was no mesh, as pictured, so it looks less “bridal”. Also: Given the price and how fragile it is, I was surprised it wasn’t packaged with greater protection.

Hi Kristin, I'm not sure what you mean but there certainly was a little netting "leaf" placed on the headpiece just like in the photo. If you were expecting it to come with a veil, then you misunderstood the description. You can always order a separate veil to wear with this headpiece.

5 out of 5 starsArrived much quicker than expected! And it’s absolutely beautiful, I’m delighted with it and can’t wait to wear it on my wedding day. The two combs either side are stunning and the net is so delicate and dainty, not heavy or distracting at all. Very pleased with the purchase ❤️❤️

5 out of 5 starsIt was perfect for my bridal look! I already had a rhinestone hair clip to wear with the veil, so the simplicity of it was exactly what I wanted.

Frequently asked questions
DO YOU OFFER EXPEDITED (RUSH) PRODUCTION FOR LAST MINUTE BRIDES??
Yes - most of the time I can accommodate a rush order within reason. During the wildly busy wedding season it's a bit more difficult but I do my best. There is typically a rush fee required to bump your last minute order ahead of my other standard timing orders. Please send me a convo to inquire about timing and any fee that may be required. Thank you!
I DON'T SEE EXACTLY WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR. DO YOU CREATE CUSTOM PIECES?
Perhaps - It will completely depend on what you have in mind and what my order backlog is at the time of your inquiry. Please have photos and a good description of what you are wanting, send me a convo and we can go from there. I'm very accommodating and love providing exceptional customer service but please know that sometimes it may be a bit costly if I need to spend additional time sourcing specific materials for a custom order (and making something that isn't a standard design).
DO YOU PROVIDE CARE INSTRUCTIONS? STYLING HELP?
Yes! If you are purchasing a veil, I include a card with details on how to iron or steam it along with four bobby pins to help styling. I also have a couple of videos on YouTube to help with styling. If you just can't seem to figure out how to style something please reach out to me - I'll go out of my way to help you!
I recommend that all veils and especially metal pieces be stored in a cool dry place to prevent any wrinkling or tarnishing that is more common in higher humidity locations. Wrapping items in fabric or felt isn't necessary but will help to keep them in perfect condition before your big day.
I'M AN INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMER AND DON'T SEE TRACKING SINCE MY ORDER LEFT THE USA. HELP?
I love my international customers! Please know that when you select First Class shipping (the lowest cost when you select your shipping method at checkout) it will ONLY show tracking while the package is in the USA. Once it leaves my country and is bound for yours, tracking will not show up until the package has been delivered.
If you need tracking or have a very tight deadline please select Priority or Express shipping. They are more expensive, however they will get to you faster and have tracking along the entire way.
If you wish to have your package insured please send me a convo first and I can create a special listing for you to purchase. Note: Priority and Express come with a small $50 USD insurance policy.
