Need to find a Veil and Tiara for my wedding - HELP!

52 replies

Springchicken · 05/09/2005 09:59

Am getting married in July and am struggling with finding a veil and tiara. It's not that i can't find any, I'm just useless at knowing what will go best.

This is my dress . Haven't decided yet whether I am having my hair high or low but it is definitely going to be up. am not wearing my veil over my face but definitely want one, just whether to have 1, 2 or 3 layers.

Please help me as this should be the easy bit, I should know what i want but i don't!

Nope! Can you tell how utterly disorganised I am?

I thought the same about the flipflops but also thought I wont be walking that fast so should be able to control the noise

Let me know if you are definitely interested in selling your Tiara etc. I really like them and they obviously go with Celeste.

Mine is Ivory, what colour did you go for?

here ya go they havent scanned too well but might give you an idea a bit better

peckarollover · 05/09/2005 15:58

Mine is ivory too!

Would you like to borrow the earrings and necklace I wore with mine as your something borrowed?

There are very simple and understated just Swarvoski crystals the same as on the dress

Oh yes, they are much better. It looks perfect.

If you click the pictures twice they come up big enough to see properly!

Oh Becka, how amazing are you. That is such a lovely offer. Are you sure?

OP posts:

Of course I am - I would be happy to think they are being showcased again. Dont get me wrong they arent amazing or anything but I thought they were perfect as they were a little bit of sparkle but anything more and it would have competed with the gorgeous detail on the dress

Fantastic

As I said, if you are sure you want to sell your other bits, let me know as they sound and look absolutely perfect.

Can't believe you have offered me to borrow your jewellry, that is just amazing

I will definitely sell underskirt (paid £40 will sell for £10 - I had one of the layers removed as it was slightly TOO full and made the organza on celeste stick out a bit and had the waistband adjusted to be snugger fit as it kept falling down)

Veil - paid £60 will sell for £20

Tiara - paid £60 will sell for £30

Do you think those are fair prices? Tell me if not!!

Obviously these have all only been worn for one day!

Definitely, that is great.
How is the best way to pay you as i don't have a cheque book.
Also, what size is the underskirt?

OP posts:
peckarollover · 05/09/2005 18:32

Do you have paypal or online banking?

The underskirt was for a 10 - 14 I think. I was a 10-12 and it was a little bit loose so my dressmaker just put some elastic in. It will have plenty of flexibility in with it being elastic.

That's good cos i'm a 12 hoping to get down to a 10.
DP has paypal but I can do internet banking. You could CAT me with your details and I will transfer the money straight over.

How much do you think delivery will be?

OP posts:
peckarollover · 05/09/2005 18:55

I will get all of the stuff sorted and send it then will let you know how much the postage was and you can sort it out then!

delivery ? What a dingbat, i meant postage !

Thank you so much Becka I still can't believe I am getting my veil, tiara and underskirt for such a bargain, all which i know go perfectly with my dress. And that you are lending me your jewellry, it's just great.
DP can't believe it either and although he wont see any of it for a few months yet he says a huge thank you too
