The Wedding Veil Legacy

What do you get when Hallmark takes six of its most dependable performers out of its stable of regulars and creates an all-star movie for the winter blahs ? Some fun and energetic banter that elevates a good, but not great, script to a story that is quite entertaining and a pleasing way to pass a couple of hours. Alison Sweeney, Lacey Chalbert, Victor Webster, Autumn Reeser, Matty Finochio, and Paula Shaw are all very adept and talented actors and they seem like they are having a lot of fun playing their parts, resulting in a presentation that is a very satisfying.

The locales, sets, and costumes are attractive and the direction is very good. While it is certainly not a dramatic or rom-com classic, this is good entertainment by a likable and fun cast.

Ok, so I may have teared up when the credits rolled bc it means the trilogy is over. I've truly enjoyed seeing these women together, their friendships, and where the veil would take them. I've always been a fan of Sweeney and chabert. All three girls were a joy. Love women being supportive and uplifting to other women.

Just Hallmark showcasing the good in people. It's why I continue to subscribe to all Hallmark channels. It's full of joy and goodness and it's rare to see on tv anymore.

This is the third and final installment in Hallmark's Wedding Veil trilogy. It started with The Wedding Veil, continued with The Wedding Veil Unveiled and is concluded by The Wedding Veil Legacy. The stories are based on the novels by romance author Lori Wilde.

In this third installment the very legendary veils is given to the third friend Tracy, the doubting Thomas and quintessential New Yorker, to repair a small tear post Emma's wedding. While in the Italian tailor's shop she meets and interrupts a tailoring session with a tall, handsome gentleman who is having a tux tailored. Almost immediately, Tracy's boyfriend of two years gets a job in a California symphony and the two part ways. When the catering for their auction house event falls through, her coworker and friend takes her to try an Italian restaurant as a potential for a catering replacement...when they ask to speak to the owner it turns out to be Nick from the tailor's shop. This begins an interesting and beautiful friendship.

"I love New York, it's who I am."-Tracy

It was really nice to see that Nick was equally passionate about New York and New York history as Tracy. It made their relationship fun...and he just got her.

This was my favorite of the three Wedding Veil films. I love Allison Sweeney and was eagerly awaiting her movie. I am also a big fan of Victor Webster from the Matchmaker Mystery series. These two had great chemistry. (I hope they make more movies with those two together.)

This was a slow build of two people who fit so perfectly together and I really liked the interconnection with the historic Italian story and the provenance of the veil.

Wonderfully romantic story that I think all those romantics out there should watch! Highly recommend.

7.2 stars.

What Hallmark has done with the Veil movies is obvious to me now. I didn't quite see it at first, but it's a marketing ploy to crank out a bunch of films based on a mysterious veil. This third installment is totally different than the first two, actually none of them are similar. They each have vastly different plots, different writing styles, acting styles, dialogue, and pacing. Each movie could be a standalone from the others and it would make no difference. The only links are the three women and a talisman of love.

"Legacy" is about the same as the first film for entertainment value and flow, but it sorely lacks romance. I enjoyed it for the museum, art, and the Italian family. The lead female's assistant was fun too. The production value is obviously very high, and that usually makes for a great Hallmark film. It lacks the romance, history, and mystery of the first two films. Chabert and her guy seemed more in tune with the younger audiences, whereas this film is so different, more for a 40+ age group, and yet these women are supposedly the same age. The male lead in this seems much older than she.

At the end when she is feeling remorse for shunning him a bit too hastily, her performance is contrived and devalues the scene. I'll let it slide for now, because I really like the potential of these veil stories. Fingers crossed for the fourth installment...

This was a cute idea for a trilogy with a magical wedding veil bringing love to it's owners. The first movie was pleasant enough, although Lacey Chabert is over used in the Hallmark movies. I loved the 2nd one with the always sweet Autumn Reeser.. But this third and last instalment was not quite as good as I had hoped. I like Alison and Victor and have enjoyed them in many of their other roles. And their connection seemed real enough. But the story was rather contrived with so many coincidences. We finally find out about the history of the veil but again, just not really believable. Everything was tied up in a neat bow. Still, it's an enjoyable series and I would like to see more trilogies, as you do get drawn into the interconnecting stories and the development of the characters and their relationships.
