Oh, Carrie, I love it! I have been wanting get married just to wear one, but I guess I don't:) Love the more delicate versions of this look.
lovely pictures!
I love the veils!! It looks SOO GOOD in the pictures, but I don't know when I would be able to wear that without people look at me funny on the street haha. But that's also what makes these fashion photos so entertaining :)
great for brunch at the ritz....
Beautiful works of art!
ah.. YES to tule.
love it. love it.
beautiful photographs, i'm a big fan of the last three photos, i have a red one very similar to that. my fave is the lv scarf over her mouth, that looks awesome.
These veiled pieces are so pretty! I really like the first one! I've been eyeing a more modest version at urban oufitters and telling myself to DIY it for too long now!
darling i love head pieces and veiled ones are even more fun!the last white one is beautiful.
happy easter dear! x

Impressive! Nice pics

These are some pretty sweet pics Carrie, I really dig the blue highlights on the gal near top left. Bravo!
Ugh I want a Veil so badly.
I've been looking EVERYWHERE.
Hmm interesting concept! I think I would far too scared to leave my flat with a piece of netting acrosse my face or ontop my forehead but Mr Gaultier made it wearable for everyday! :D
And thanks! We've been hunting eggs (sneakily) all morning haha
xx
This is just a look that will never work for me. I'm sure MrB would die laughing!
I love the first picture. I think on a little hat it can be really subtle and nice.
These are just so so amazing. Big headpieces are in right now, I guess, I've been seeing them everwhere!
xox, mavi
add a sense of mystery in the outfits. Happy Easter CC!
Hi there-I'm loving the Marc Jacobs look best! Have a great Sunday!

Oh! Girl! I love that dress with the veil that looks like a fan! Its gorgeous. Plus, it looks like a backwards "C"!
Kisses!
i want the pink bow veil. i always think of reese's character in sweet home alabama and jackie o at jfk's funeral when i see a veil. so chic
oh my god, that's awesome!!!
Tulle is so chic and elegant used in the right way. Definately not meant just for funeral! Gives a very "French" effect to classic looks.
So innovative and bold! You always pick up on such striking trends, CC. Where do you keep getting such great ideas from? x
I love this...so dramatic!
Veils are so romantic... great post dear CC!
These are all awesome!
I especially like the last one!
Hahaha, "big fan" oh you clever thing. I have a vintage little hat kind of like the last ones with a bit of a veil but have never worn it out! I just can't figure out what to wear it with, but these ladies look stunning in their veils so I will have to figure it out.
This has inspired me to get in my studio and use all the pretty netting I bought months ago.
Beautiful collection of images.
