Bespoke Lace Veils | Creating Your Perfect Wedding Veil

Our Bespoke Lace Veils

There’s something truly magical about a bespoke lace veil. It’s the kind of finishing touch that elevates your bridal look from beautiful to unforgettable. Lace has a way of adding romance, elegance, and a sense of timeless charm to any style of dress—whether you’re going for classic, vintage, or modern. In this post, we’ll walk you through how we create bespoke lace veils at The Wedding Veil Shop, share examples of our past designs, and show you how to begin your own custom journey with us.

Make a Statement with a Bespoke 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, often over many hours. In this post, I’ll walk you through our bespoke lace veil ordering 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

We use a combination of past veil examples and your inspiration pictures to help visualise the final look. If you’d like, we’re also happy—once your veil is officially on order and the lace has arrived—to send a photo of the veil at the pinned-out stage. That way, you can request any tweaks before we begin stitching.

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!
