Our Bespoke Lace Veils

There’s something undeniably enchanting about a lace veil. Timeless in its appeal, a lace veil can effortlessly swing between ultra-modern chic and vintage elegance depending on the pattern and application. Typically, I find the more geometric the lace — think long straight lines, diamond shapes and crosshatching — the more modern and edgy it looks. On the other hand, floral patterns and scrolling designs evoke a more traditional, romantic feel.

Make a Statement with a Custom Lace Veil

Lace veils are undoubtedly the most photogenic choice for brides. Unlike beaded designs, whose intricate details can sometimes be lost through the camera lens, lace veils stand out beautifully in photographs. They not only add drama and grandeur to your look but can also extend the visual impact of your wedding dress, enhancing its train.

Each lace veil we create is a labour of love, meticulously designed and sewn by hand. In this post, I’ll walk you through our bespoke process, helping you feel confident and informed before you approach us with your own vision. Plus, we’ve sprinkled in images of some of our past creations to inspire your journey.

The Bespoke Lace Veil Process: Step by Step

1. Initial Contact

We typically start the process via email. While we love chatting with our brides on the phone, the design process involves a lot of images being exchanged, so email works best for this. We kick things off by asking you about your vision for your lace veil. Have you seen a style on Pinterest or Instagram that you adore? Share it with us! We’ll also ask for photos of your wedding dress to ensure the veil complements it perfectly. By the end of this conversation, we’ll have a solid understanding of the lace style, size, and shape you’re envisioning.

2. Selecting the Perfect Lace

Our lace suppliers offer a treasure trove of over 1,000 different edgings and appliqués to choose from. These can range from beaded designs (featuring sequins, seed beads, or pearls) to plain, corded, or textured options, with some even showcasing metallic highlights. The variety is immense, so we typically curate a selection for you based on our discussion. However, if you prefer, we can send you a link to browse the full range yourself.

3. Visualising Your Veil

Once we’ve selected the lace, we often create a computer mock-up to give you a clear visual of your veil’s design. This step is particularly helpful for more elaborate veils that feature pieced-together appliqués. For simpler designs, such as a lace-edged veil, most brides can easily visualize the final look just by seeing the lace samples or images.

4. Finishing Touches and Quotation

At this stage, we’ll be able to provide a quote, as we’ll have determined the amount of lace required. If everything meets your approval, your dream veil will soon be on its way to becoming a reality.

Inspiration from Our Lace Collection

When designing our ready-to-wear Lace Veil Collections, we follow a similar process. We spend hours scrolling through pages of beautiful lace trims, choosing the ones we believe will complement a wide variety of dresses. Below are some examples of the laces featured in our collections. Any of these can be customised for your bespoke veil, along with many others we can share with you.

Understanding the Cost of Bespoke Lace Veils

You’re probably wondering about the cost. The truth is, it varies. The price depends on the type and amount of lace you choose, as well as the length, width, and layers of the veil. As a general guide, our set lace veils range from £120 to £300. However, our more elaborate bespoke lace veil designs can often exceed £300.

We understand that budgets are a key concern for brides, and while our veils are often more affordable than those found in bridal shops, there are usually ways to adjust the design to suit your budget. Just ask!

Ready to Create Your Dream Veil?

If a custom lace veil sounds like the perfect finishing touch for your big day, reach out to us via email or direct message on Instagram or Facebook. A few questions and images are all we need to start turning your dream veil into a reality.
