Great headpieces. Not so great web site.
By Never teh BrideThere are plenty of veil-makers out there. But most haven’t been in business since 1922. Edward Berger, however, has been topping off beautiful blushing brides for about 80 years and continues to create stylish, sparkly, and sometimes funky veils, headpieces, crowns, and tiaras in New York City’s Fashion District.
You want a fingertip length veil with a wide lace edge? Done.
You want a veil that keeps going and going and going? Oh, and also has rhinestones? Not a problem.
And you want to pair it with the perfect headpiece? Sure thing. The friendly folks at Edward Berger will answer any questions you have about putting together the perfect wedding day look.
Perhaps when you call you can politely ask them to organize their web gallery a little better…they could start by grouping all of the veils together instead of mixing them hapharzardly in with the headpieces.

Ooh. The top one is lovely, but I looked it up on another website, as they don’t sell through theirs, and it’s over $300… when it’s “on sale.” I always feel like veils end up being a HUGE ripoff — like this is something I ought to be able to make. I’ve found patterns for very basic ones, but maybe one of your posts could be about where to find help for making more complicated veils?
But that first one? Love. Just love.

I’ll put it on the list, RZA
I’m right with you on the cost of veils. One friend of mine who recently tied the knot admitted that her veil cost more than her gown! IMO, a dress may be something you can wear again (with an application of dye) or a great way to benefit charity (e.g. at http://www.makingmemories.org). But a veil…not so much.
