MEET THE DESIGNER
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF VEILS
TIMELESS, ELEGANT DESIGN
As a former costume-maker for Disney and the Royal Opera House, my day-to-day involved bringing the most unique and detailed creative briefs to life.
In 2017, I got a very different type of brief when my friend needed a veil created the day before her wedding. I fell in love with the craft, and never looked back!
Women are bombarded by an industry telling them they need to change to be worthy of getting married. As a wedding veil designer, I get to celebrate women with pieces designed for them, not the other way around.
HOW WE WORK
RELAXED REMOTE PROCESS
Unlike for your dress, we don’t need to measure you in-person, so most brides opt for our remote design journey. We partner with your dress supplier, liaising with them directly to get your dress specifics. And we always ensure you have the opportunity to order samples before we finalise your veil design, so you can be sure of a perfect match.
PERSONAL CREATIVE JOURNEY
We’re a small team of people that love making each and every bride feel unique and empowered on their big day. That means you can expect us to be hands-on, easy to reach, and authentic - no forced pretentiousness over here! And if you’re going for a Bespoke veil, you’ll work directly with Sophie herself on every element of your veil.
TRANSPARENT PRICING
Our Collection veils range from £250 to £3,500 - each veil has its price shown and is available to order directly from the website. Semi-Bespoke veils start from £350, while fully Bespoke veils start from £1,000. You don’t need to know anything about veils to go bespoke - submit an enquiry to get started and we’ll guide you through each step!

SAMANTHA BARKS
Sophie made me the most gorgeous veil for my wedding, it was more beautiful than I could have ever dreamed of!! Her warmth and creativity was a joy from the moment we first spoke and I loved the process of creating the veil together! I was so thrilled with the end result and when I look back to my wedding photos I can’t believe how lucky I was to wear such a beautiful veil! Thank you Sophie

VOGUE ITALIA
For the Chanel gown, the bride chose a custom-made long veil with train from Sophie Raval that featured a gold Chantilly lace trim. Finding the extra-large silk tulle needed to make the pattern was challenging. There was only one supplier in the UK: a Nottingham-based factory, the same one that had also woven Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle's wedding veils.
