Custom Wedding Veils: 1950s style

Pretty Good Things custom wedding veil sketch

Pretty Good Things custom wedding veil sketch
 
I had been on a hiatus from custom work, mostly due to not having time with my teaching gig at UNL during the last couple semesters.  But I've been getting a few requests lately for wedding stuff (One of which I still need to share with you!...don't let me forget.)

And I have to say ladies are planning some sweet-ass weddings.

Like, MY kind of weddings.

Like, COLOR up in a wedding's face.

Like, 1950s sassy, kicky, bright aqua petticoats and possibly matching bow veils? AHHH.

These are the weddings I love.

I wanted to share these sketches I've been working on for a client (-slash- future PGT posse member! :) .

Color inspirations are bright yummy macaroons. Droooool....


I don't know what design she prefers yet as we've just started hashing out ideas.

But, you know, I wanted to share these because it's fun to play 'Which one would you pick?'  
The blusher length veil with top bow...
The birdcage veil with side loopy bow...
and to make it harder: what color veil and bow.

Kisses!
Mary

    Oh my word, this all looks fantastic!
    We're getting married in June & my dress is 50s style, pink with white spots. Turquoise detail around the zip at the back. I have turquoise underskirt, beads & shoes & am looking for something for my head........which you have certainly provided inspiration for!
    Thank you.
    I love it ALL!
