Satin Picot

Silk Fabric Suitable for a Wedding Veil

TULLE: A very sheer, transparent, net fabric with a crispness to it. The most well known and widely used veil fabric. This veil can be as plain or as decorated as you want. You can add a ribbon edge, scatter diamonte, leave it plain. br />

CHIFFON: A very soft, fluid fabric that is heavier than tulle. It hangs straight but floats with the slightest breeze. It is more opaque than tulle so usually made as a single tier veil without a blusher. It can be made with 2 tiers if you wish. Chiffon veils can be finished with a narrow picot edge but you can have ribbon or lace edging if you prefer.

ORGANZA: It is sheer and slightly opaque like chiffon, but much crisper. I have managed to find a softer organza that is not quite so stiff. Organza can fray easily so veils are finished with a narrow picot or satin bias edge.

About the Author

I have more than two decades of knowledge and experience after graduating, in Fashion and Textile Design, from University of Westminster, London. Many of my friends asked me to design and make their wedding outfits including their veil to compliment and be part of their outfit rather than an addition to it. This has led me to specialise in designing and making couture wedding veils. I am probably the only bridal veil designer specialising solely in bespoke silk wedding veils. 
Previously I worked for 14 years as a Costume Designer for BBC TV in London and then Cardiff,  where I was nominated for a BAFTA Cymru for best Costume Design. After, I ran a successful couture Bridal Design Studio using sumptuous silk fabrics and was awarded Fellowship of the Society of Artists and Designers.  I now concentrate fully on designing and making top quality, environmentally friendly, silk bridal veils.
