where did you get the netting from? Can you tell us how you made this?

The netting was purchased on House of Fabric. I got 1 yard (which is more than enough but allows you to mess up on one before you finalize your piece).

Materials:
1 off-white silk flower (I made mine from scratch): $8
1 yard of 18” of Russian netting : $9
Pearl and crystal beads:$0 (already had)
White Ostrich feathers: $5
Clear thread: $1.50
2 inch wire comb: $2.50

TOTAL: $26.00

Many other Bees’s inspired me to go the DIY route for my veil. Especially Mrs. Sea Breeze -- hers looked amazing in my opinion.
Honestly, this veil started out as a birdcage veil that would sweep to one side covering my eyes. However, to those of you who have worked with Russian Netting, you know what a pain it can be. I just could not get the netting to lay in a way that suited me personally. I soon decided that an the flower should be the focal point and the veil element be the accent piece… that was just more my style. Modern, yet timeless.

Instructions:
Honestly, this look is as easy or complicated as you want to make it. I loosely followed Mrs Sea Breeze’s post on how she created her veil and then consulted the instruction DIY Bride book by Khris Cochran

Is House of Fabric an online store? I found www.housefabric.com but I couldn't find the netting on that site. Is this a store you have to go to in person? I don't think we have them in my state.
