Veils, Veils, Veils




(These are all veils from http://www.lovethebride.com/)

Now is the time for accessorizing. Once I saw my dress I immediately though of a chapel length veil (the last two pictures). However, I could do a fingertip (the first picture).

But the decisions don't stop there.

Will there be trim? Will I wear it low, toward the back of my head? Should it be pink? White? I'm beginning to think I'm a girl that doesn't like choosing.

Right now, I do not think I want trim. I want a white veil. And I keep seeing myself with a chapel length.

I do know that my mother and I will make the veil. I went to Michael's and 5 yards of tulle came in a single pack for 10 bucks. So I can pretty much do whatever length I want.

I just want to look my best, and I'm not entirely sold on which style to wear yet.

Does anyone have a favorite of the three pictured above? Please let me know!

Since We Aren't "Jumping" the Broom


I thought I might improvise. Literally jumping over a broom is just not us, but I don't mind paying homage to our ancestors. I found this miniature broom in the cleaning section of a local dollar store and thought, "How now, a broom that's just the right size to sit on my greeting table."

It's pictured next to my miniature stapler to give you an idea of the size. It's literally like, less than a foot in length, I just didn't have my ruler to check at the time I took this picture. So, another DIY project to add the list. I'm probably more excited about this than anything else, lol.

I'll decorate it with ribbon and put the date on there somehow. I'll probably put it next to a sign or attach a tag that says "We're jumping the broom!" Or something like that. What d'ya think?
