Veil Edging and Trim
By Bobette Kyle-Wagner | March 20, 2008
The edges of your veil can be unfinished or edged. Some brides prefer the cut, unfinished edge so as to not divert attention from their face or gown. Others prefer a finished edge for the added elegance or design. Edges can be finished in a variety of ways:
- Pencil edge. This is a very subtle finish, a stitch the same color as the veil to finish off the raw edges.
- Silver or gold edge is similar to the pencil edge in design, but the seamstress uses a metallic thread to match gown detailing or hair accessories.
- Rolled edge (created by folding the edges 1/4″ to 1/2″ and sewing them with fine-gauge thread) can finish a veil much like the pencil edge but with a bit more definition.
- Embroidered edges range from the simple pencil edge mentioned above to elaborate floral or leaf designs.
