I love vintage wedding gowns and veils
So imagine this heart stopping moment.... A few weeks ago I went to a Girlie, girl, Estate Sale and as I was checking out with tons of vintage slips and clothes
There.... Right by the cashier, was a pile of vintage wedding veils. Ah...Ah..."Are those veils for sale"? "Yes, they are"! "I'll take them all"! The price was so great that I got in my car and sped away before the estate sale police got me!
This one has a beaded headband with a gorgeous lace trim
There is an elastic headband on this one with little flowers on the side.
When I showed it to my Mom she said
"It's not exactly my style" lol.... I agree!
This was a straw like cap with vintage flowers
I love this beaded cap..1940's?
Oh, the stories they could tell
But WAIT, this story is not over! Three special blogging friends are also showing off there vintage wedding veils
Lynn at The Vintage Nest
Maggie at Little Miss Maggie
Francie at The Scented Cottage
You can never see to many veils. So, please stop by, say hi and make a new friend.
Happy Creating!

I well know the feeling of making a quick getaway in case someone realizes what they just let go for a song! I'd love to hear the stories those veils could tell.
sometimes, I wish I could live in the States for a while to find such pretties ! Love them all of course, and thanks to you who gave me some ideas for one of my next Venitian costume !!!

Hi Carol,
I wish that I could find an estate sale like that one. I usually end up finding dusty, dirty and ugly stuff, LOL!
I have you to thank for my collection of wedding gowns and prom dresses....oh yes I do!

They are so, so pretty. What a great find.
I would have snapped them up and ran off straight away too !
Don't you just love it when you find something truly amazing and it makes you want to go off and stash it somewhere safe while you sit there smugly feeling so proud of yourself ! lol
Enjoy your new pretties Carol
Hi Carol, Wow~ what treasures. They are gorgeous. Fabulous finds.
Have a great Monday.
Hugs, CM
All I can say is you must live in Estate sale heaven, you find the best and most gorgeous things. TTFN
Lovely-each and every one. How fortunate you were there to save these beauties. I was in a local antique shop this weekend and saw some vintage hats and thought of you. Our local prices are very high so I wasn't tempted. Wonderful week ahead...
wow, how nice. im a sucker for anything wedding. but these are really special. just love the pinkish one.
Exciting to find them, good find! This reminds me of my wedding dress score at an estate sale, it was found in a trunk! Come by our blog and see, we'd be honored if you did! It's called "it's in the trunk" www.foreverboundart.wordpress.com.
Thanks for the fun!

Wow. What a great find! I love the ways you have them displayed. So fun to find a great deal like that...the type that makes you want to get out quick, before they discover they made a mistake! But, they have no idea what treasures these are. So, I feel like it's meant to be....someone that will cherish them, like you, SHOULD have them!

Oh.my.gosh, love the veils AND the slips and frills!!
beautiful!
Such pretty things! The peachy bouquet is the exact same peachy color of my bedroom. Just love it.
Love all the romantic vintage things you post about. The veils are all so pretty except for that one! lol Nancy
I'm CALLING the estate sale police! WOW they are so awesome! Makes me want to get married again, to hubby that is!
Hubby did grill this weekend! YUM!
Warmly,
deb
So lovely. I will bet there are lots of stories there. Love to you, Ginger
What a coup! They are magnificent
What a find! Love them all. Mimi
Gorgeous finds, Carol, and I love how your displayed them. Thanks for including me in the links.
What beautiful wedding veils. What stories they could tell!
Irene
It was your lucky day. These are gorgeous! I would have made a quick dash out of there also:-)
Beautiful veils! I have my 1970's veil stuffed in my cedar chest, I will have to think of a way to use it.
Oh you lucky girl you! Finds like that are few and far between! I really love the pink one. My mother wore a pink wedding gown and it was so beautiful. thanks for sharing.
Oh, lovely veils. I like the frilly one with the peach buds, it looks 1920's. The white cap with the points is very similar to the wedding cap my mother wore. Hers had lots of diamante as well as pearls, and she said it cost more than her wedding dress. She was married in the 1950's.
Just beautiful! What pretty finds you have! I love them all! :)
You always find the greatest stuff! Lovely finds : )
