DIY Veil Embroidery: Sew Onto Your Veil
This listing is for custom embroidered lettering only, supplied on tulle backing for you to cut out and stitch onto a veil or wedding item you already own. No veil is included.
It’s a beautiful DIY option for brides who already have a veil and later decide they’d love to add personalised embroidery — without needing to replace the veil itself.
If you’d like us to stitch embroidery directly onto one of our veils for a more seamless, ready-to-wear finish, please choose our Veil Embroidery Add-On instead and add it to your basket alongside your chosen veil.
How to order:
- Select the correct number of characters.
- Select your preferred font.
- Add this DIY Veil Embroidery to your basket.
- We’ll send you a mock-up for approval before we begin stitching.

Price range: £59.00 through £169.00
Personalised Veil Embroidery – DIY Veil Embroidery
A beautifully crafted, personalised embroidery designed to transform your wedding veil into something truly one-of-a-kind. Whether it’s a monogram, names, a meaningful date or a favourite phrase, this delicate stitched detail adds a quietly luxurious, deeply personal finishing touch — and is guaranteed to leave your guests talking.
Inspired by Real Brides
We’ve embroidered hundreds of veils over the years, and you’ll find endless inspiration in our work-in-progress and Real Bride imagery over on Instagram at @theweddingveilshop. From timeless monograms to modern statement phrases, it’s the perfect place to see how embroidered veils come to life.
True Craftsmanship
This is real, stitched embroidery, worked in a beautiful silky thread — never a heat press, vinyl or iron-on transfer. Each design is professionally embroidered with the same care and finish used in our handmade veils, resulting in a soft, lightweight embellishment that drapes effortlessly and blends seamlessly with fine bridal tulle.
How the DIY Embroidery Works
Your embroidery arrives on pale ivory tulle backing ready to be carefully cut out and applied to your existing veil. For best results, leave a tiny margin of tulle to protect the stitching and keep joined letters kept together in one piece. Simply stitch in place using a hand-sewing needle and invisible thread — a few light tacking stitches are all that’s required, as the embroidery is beautifully lightweight and flexible. This allows you to position the embroidery exactly as you wish, whether along the hem, sweeping around the curve, or delicately tucked into the train.
Alternatively, you may wish to ask a local seamstress to stitch the letters onto your veil for you.
Embroidery Font Options
You can choose from a curated selection of timeless and expressive fonts, each designed to suit different styles and sentiments. Examples of every font — including monograms, full names and dates — can be seen in the product gallery. Other fonts are available upon request.
Elegant Font
A classic calligraphy-style font with graceful curves, ideal for both monograms and longer phrases.

Signature Font
A relaxed, handwritten-style script that looks especially beautiful for couple names.

Simple Font
An understated, typewriter-inspired font for a clean, modern look.

Timeless Font
Similar in feel to the signature style but elongated horizontally, making it perfect for designs that follow the curve of the veil.

Calligraphy Font
Features ornate, decorative capital letters and works beautifully for statement monograms.

Gothic Font
A bold Old English-style font with traditional detailing, perfect for dramatic phrases such as “Till death do us part”.

Block Font
Strong, modern capital lettering for a confident, eye-catching finish.

Date Font
Dates are stitched in a smaller version of our simple serif font for balance and elegance.
Colour & Finish
All embroidery is stitched in Pale Ivory by default, carefully chosen to complement Pale Ivory veils beautifully without appearing stark or overly contrasting. If you’re interested in other colours, perhaps for your “something blue” just get in touch after placing your order.
Letter Sizing
Letter size varies by font and is measured by capital letter height. Lowercase letters will naturally be smaller.
Signature Font: approximately 4.5” (11.5cm) tall capital letters
Elegant Font: approximately 3.5” (8.5cm) tall capital letters
Timeless Font: approximately 3.5” (8.5cm) tall capital letters
Calligraphy Font: approximately 3” (7.5cm) tall capital letters
Simple Font: approximately 2” (5cm) tall capital letters
Gothic Font: approximately 3” (7.5cm) tall capital letters
Block Font: approximately 4” (10cm) tall (all capitals)
(Date text in all cases is just under 1” (2cm) tall)
Bespoke Embroidery Options
If you’re dreaming of something even more personal, we also offer additional bespoke embroidery options, including handwriting recreation, custom or recreated fonts, alternative embroidery placement, coloured threads, decorative motifs or symbols, and lace or appliqué details surrounding the embroidery. If you’d like to explore these options, please get in touch — we’re always happy to discuss ideas.
Before any embroidery is created, you’ll receive a digital mock-up of your chosen wording and font for approval.
Please note: be sure to add the correct character count option to your basket for your chosen design.
