The Bespoke Journey
From a conversation to a keepsake.
Most commissions take four to six weeks. This is what happens between our first conversation and the day we pack your veil.
I.
The consultation
The first consultation takes about 45 minutes, either in our studio in Lincolnshire, England or by video. There is no fee or obligation. Bring photos of your dress and venue, or just an idea you have not quite pinned down. We will talk about how the day will look and feel.
II.
The design
Next, we draw the veil against your dress: its length, tulle, edge and placement. If you want initials, a date or a line of your vows, we work them into the drawing. We only start cutting once you are happy with it.
III.
The making
We cut, stitch and embellish your veil by hand in Lincolnshire, England. Pearls are knotted, crystals are placed and embroidery is worked one stitch at a time. We send photographs while we work, and you can visit the studio if you would like to.
IV.
The keepsake
We press your finished veil, wrap it in tissue and pack it with a care note. After the wedding, we can shorten or frame it, or help you store it for someone else to wear.
“I honestly couldn’t recommend ELU Bridal enough! I had my wedding veil made by ELU Bridal, with our initials and wedding date beautifully embroidered onto it. It was such a special and personal touch, and the veil was absolutely perfect. Throughout the whole process, Emma was so lovely and kept me updated with photos and messages, always checking in to make sure I was happy with everything. Her attention to detail and the care she put into making my veil really showed. I felt so reassured knowing that everything was being made exactly how I wanted it, and the finished veil was even more beautiful than I could have imagined. It made my wedding day feel even more special, and I now have such a beautiful keepsake to treasure forever. Thank you so much, ELU Bridal, for making something so meaningful and beautiful for my wedding day. I’m so grateful!”
