When you choose Visionary Veils to create your wedding veil you are not only receiving a made to measure wedding veil but a veil styling appointment.
During this appointment, I will guide you through the design process and provide information about the various veil shapes, lengths and styles. Saving you time searching online for the perfect veil.
We will then collaborate to design a veil design that not only complements your wedding dress but also makes you feel amazing.
Each of my wedding veils are handmade. This process is very intricate as it takes time to hand cut and hand sew each veil. The benefits are that each Bride has a wealth design options to choose from and an exquisite wedding veil that truly complements her wedding gown.
