Full-gather or centre-gather veils? The Wedding Veil Shop certainly delivered! Very happy girlie.

As I understand it, If you imaging your piece of fabric and you gathered it in across the whole of the width (as if you were to catch it all up in your hand) that would be a full gather, Centre gathers is where just the centre/middle of the width of the fabric is gathered. The full gathered created the most volume. Hope this makes sense - maybe other hitchers will be able to enlighten you further.

Thank you!

That makes total sense. Veil ordered

I know you've already had a reply but there is a pic on this site explaining too

Sorry I never replied!

That's where my veil is from! I just needed the annotation to understand the picture. Thankfully all is clear now.

Let me know if you are happy with it - I think I will be getting mine from there x

I'd looked at veils from there too but scared to waste money if it's not right as we're on a really tight budget. Would love to hear how it comes out. I'd go for a full gather but t is a very personal choice

My veil arrived from The wedding Veil Shop yesterday. I went for a diamond white (samples received first or course!) fingertip length, two tier veil. It was approx £40. Rubbish flash alert! I really struggled to take a pic of my back lol.

It also still has the tag hanging under my head. Wooops.

I have to say I am VERY impressed with the quality. I had tried some on in shops also but I couldn't find anything plain enough. The veil is attached to a comb in a way that no matter where you place it, top of head, top of bun, under bun (I tried them all!) you cannot see even a hint of comb! It's by far the best design of comb I have seen. And the comb is very veyr snug and secure. Can you tell I'm pleased with it?!

That looks lovely sammi!

Looks really lovely - glad you are pleased with the quality - I'll order mine now! x

So glad you posted this, i was wondering where to get a veil that will be in the same position as yours! i will def look at the website too! thanks!

I'm glad you all like it too. I was slightly worried about ordering online, and as they are so reasonable, but I can honestly say the quality is as good (if not better!) than the ones I tried in several shops. It's beautifully soft next to the skin too (another worry it would be spikey).

I went for a full-gather in the end, mainly because I wanted it 'full' but to hang in a column behind me, and a centre gather gives a less-full, but wider hang.

If anyone is interested, I'm still selling my one, BNWT from the Wedding Veil shop - open to offers x
