Inspiring Ideas – The fall of a veil without one

Most brides still love the drama of the veil. The way it falls behind you, The exciting thrill of wearing something so unusual on what is really an unusual day. A style trend that I really like is to use the cascades of tulle but re invent them away from your head.

Below are some examples, historic and current where tulle is used as trains from the gown or as shawl and capes.
