I have been veiling for 5 years now. I first started wearing a veil after visiting The Shrine of The Most Blessed Sacrament in Alabama. Mother Angelica's home. My first veil was a simple triangle lace, that I don't even remember where I bought it from. I had the most terrible time keeping it on as there was no clips and I used little clips to pin it on with. I have bought many veils from you since that time, yet this is the first time I've left a review, and I deeply apologize for this. All my veils, and I have 17, are so beautiful. I receive compliments at Mass every weekend, and my reply has been to remind them we are all brides of Christ and St Paul tells us we should cover our heads. Veiling is a beautiful tradition that never should have stopped. I have just ordered my 2nd black & blue Spanish Camellia mantilla because I gave my first one away this past weekend at the Mass of Corpus Christi. Once again, I was approached by a woman who commented that she should start veiling also ( I'm the only one who veils every Mass ) and I asked her why she doesn't. She replied she didn't have a veil. I was instantly compelled to give her mine! So I did! She was in tears. I told her that now, since she has a veil, she can start wearing it. It was a very moving moment for both of us. I have left your cards that come with your veils on the book racks for other women to take with them, and they are always gone. I know they are being taken and considered by the other women, because I do occasionally see them with a veil. I'm known as the Eucharistic Minister who veils, and when I'm seen away from church, people double take because they aren't sure if it's their EM or not. I love my veils!
I ordered the navy color with sewn metal hair comb. I have very thick hair and I am so glad I opted for the comb option. This is my first veil and I love wearing it whenever I am at church.
This is the sixth or seventh veil I have gotten from Ceils by Lily, and I’m sad to say I’m a little disappointed in this one. I even checked the product descriptions, which indicated the black and metallic veils were stiffer than the other colors, but no such disclaimer was written for the white and metallic, which is what I bought. In addition, the edges look a little ravelly, though that might just be a factor of the embroidered lace on the tulle-like base fabric. It is still beautiful, but not quite what I was hoping for.
I have bought my 5th one yesterday. I am proud to wear these to Mass.
I ordered this veil in the brown and black coloring and I was blown away when I opened up the package. The brown has a silky sheen that makes the lace pattern shine. Something that I did not expect is that this veil is a bit more stiff- which I prefer since it has a bit more body and makes a lovely draping effect. I also really like that the brown and black combo goes nicely with my chocolate brown hair :)
I bought this as a confirmation gift for a young lady who is new to veiling. The veil itself is gorgeous, and my young friend is delighted with her gift.
Good quality
Just ordered and received this mantilla in gray. The color is lovely, as is the mantilla craftsmanship. I now own an array of Veils by Lily and find all of them both beautiful and meaningful. It's very special to purchase veils from a company and owner that so clearly stand for the reason and faith behind veiling. Blessings on all.
This is the most beautiful mantilla I have. the purple one I bought for Lent and Advent was so gorgeous that I bought a white/silver one for the Easter Season. I need one more: the red one for feast days of the martyrs.
