THE veil~~

I have had my heart/mind set on getting the perfect veil for me! I never knew what it was called, but had the image in my mind. I wanted something (how I describe it) that looked Catholic and Traditional and had lace and sometimes beading. I know pretty vague huh? Sometimes those are the descriptions that I provide. After talking and asking around I found out that the style that I wish for is called Mantilla. I have yet to wiki or google how that name came to be, but I suspect it's pretty old-fashioned. I love it! To me it looks ever so classic. It just sits around the crown of your head and flows down onto your hair. I want one that is about middle of my back length, or slightly below. 

Here's an example of a Mantilla Veil. You can see the intricate work along the sides. 

I like how the hair can be down and look like it is flowing with the veil on top. I think I'm going to go for some curls with my hair pulled back and down.
