BESPOKE CATHEDRAL VEILS
Tailor each and every element of your cathedral veil to your vision, down to the finest detail.
It’s always important that a cathedral veil complements and doesn’t compete with your dress. Working personally with Sophie to design a bespoke veil means you can strike that perfect balance, to create a truly one-off, timeless piece.

SOPHIE RAVAL
Your cathedral veil. As unique as the bride who wears it.
QUALITY IN THE FINEST DETAILS
TAILORED CATHEDRAL LENGTH
We work in partnership with your bridal shop, liaising with them directly to gather your dress specifics.
Taking into account your height and dress length, we'll confirm the minimum veil length that ensures your veil pulls away as you walk (rather than sitting in a heap on the train).
We then offer you a range of veil extension options depending on the specific bridal look you’re envisioning. If you think of Royal weddings, the veils quite often extend metres longer than the train - you can't really go too long but you can definitely go too short!

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.
