• TWO LOOKS - ONE VEIL •

We have designed our lace-trimmed veil in such a way that it can be worn two ways.

This would be the perfect choice for you if you just can’t decide between a two tier or a single tier wedding veil or perhaps you would like to have two different veil looks for your wedding photos.

We have carefully sampled and re-sampled the veil cut, tweaking the shape many times until we landed on the perfect design to give our brides this versatility and ensure the dimensions and proportion would work for both veil styles.

The veil attachment is discreetly placed in the centre of the veil to form two tiers with an additional attachment hidden at the edge to enable the veil to be transformed into a mantilla.

If you’d like to discuss this option, feel free to drop me an email [email protected]

Aaand … huge thanks to the dream wedding supplier team for creating these amazing shots - meet them all below ~>

• ZOE’s VEIL FEATURING RUSTY •

I’ve had sooo many lovely comments following wonderful video (see the last reel) featuring Zoe’s veil so i just had to share a few more pics from Zoe’s wedding.

Zoe and I bonded over our love of cats and soon on into designing Zoe’s veil we discovered that our cats (my first cat and first love Rusty) and Zoe’s cat shared the same name.

Zoe’s veil was an Edie waterfall veil created from our super soft, delicate tulle which she chose to have embellished with randomly scattered floating pearls.

The music to my ears was the finishing touch - Zoe wanted to include her special feline boy in their special day. As a surprise to her fiancé, Zoe sent me an outline of Rusty’s actual paw print which I embroidered onto her veil.

He wasn’t even there but I feel like he was the star of the show - scroll this way ~> to see the man himself!

Thank you Zoe for entrusting me with your veil design - it’s right up there with my forever favourites - and wishing you both every happiness for your future together xx

In the months leading up to Gabby and Freddy’s wedding, Gabby and I exchanged lots of texts and phone calls, planning the embroidery for her veil. Because the design needed to sit perfectly around and beyond the embellishment on her dress, I lent her a sample veil to take along to her dress fitting.

I also included paper templates of the embroidery, which Gabby carefully pinned to the sample while wearing her dress. She then posted everything back to me, and together we were able to work out the ideal veil length and embroidery placement.

A lovely personal touch—Gabby chose to have their initials embroidered using the same font from her wedding stationery. Gabby’s dress was embellished so we decided on simple but impactful embroidered details ✨

Gabby, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful photos and wishing you both a wonderful future together ❤️

Today I’m handing over to my bride Elis and sharing her lovely review ~

“Heather, the incredibly talented owner of Sash + Veil, is simply amazing. I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough if you’re considering a veil as part of your wedding look.

From the very beginning, Heather guided me so thoughtfully through the process — offering samples, gently advising on which fabrics would best complement my dress, and taking every detail into consideration. She went above and beyond, even matching the veil comb to my hair colour and advising me on the perfect placement.

On the day itself, the veil was absolutely stunning. It truly stole the show as I walked down the aisle, and it didn’t leave my head until I had to physically take it off for the first dance!

If you’re looking for a veil that’s both beautiful and thoughtfully crafted, look no further than Sash + Veil”

This is exactly why I do what I do – I LOVE my brides and the process of working together to create the veil of their dreams.

Thank you, Elis, and wishing you both the happiest future together ❤️

FINALLY!

If you’ve been in touch requesting a tulle in the crisper illusion texture (we have the soft tulle covered) you’ll know it’s been a process trying to find a quality (it’s been years) that I’m happy with

And then … quietly and without ceremony, on Thursday it dropped, unnoticed through the letterbox.

We now have available a beautiful sheer, illusion tulle in a soft buttermilk tone to work with your champagne dresses.

If you’d like to grab a FREE sample, just drop me an email [email protected]

Can’t wait to see my first champagne bride - will it be you?

Veil length is something I discuss often and my usual guidance is choosing a wedding veil measurement which extends 30 to 50 cm longer than the end of your dress or train is a good starting point.

However, if you want your veil to make a statement like Ashton did then go LONG!

Ashton’s veil is a bespoke version of our Aria drop veil, two tiers of super sheer tulle trimmed all around with a delicate French lace - a design created for our stockist

We LOVE Ashton‘s look, the veil works so well with her dress and is perfect for the stunning and dramatic backdrop which is

Wishing Ashton and James a very happy future together and thank you for sharing your wonderful photos 🫶

“Do you embroider onto existing wedding veils?”

This is a question I’m asked almost every day and it’s not a simple yes or no and here’s why ~

• It depends on the tulle composition of your existing veil. I won’t embroider onto pure silk as, during the embroidery process I use a water soluble stabiliser and silk tulle and water are not a good mix. If your veiling tulle is nylon, polyester or another manmade fibre, we should be fine.

• It depends on the time of year. I don’t have the capacity during very busy production periods, but in my quieter times, I’m very happy to chat

• I will need to see the veil to make a final decision so I would arrange for your to post it to me or to drop it into the studio.

I hope this helps, but I always feel free to drop me an email on [email protected] and we can discuss options.

Oh and happy Saturday - it’s going to be a hot one!

A special moment for Amy and her team …

Another shot to add to your photo wishlist would be capturing the moments before you enter the ceremony – the time you spend with your bridesmaids before the main event: the last minute adjustments, veil fluffing, bouquet straightening, hair and makeup tweaking - all the important stuff!

When the perfect editorial opportunity coincides with the launch of a new veil design …

The stars were very much aligned when I was adding the finishing touches to a new veil and was invited to be a part of this beautiful shoot.

I’m so thrilled with how has photographed the detail of our brand new Inès drop veil, capturing the sheerness of the tulle and the translucent texture of the organza flowers.

Meet the amazing team ~

• NIA’S SOFIA DROP VEIL •

Nia chose our Sofia drop veil to accessorise her dress, keeping the whole look beautifully understated with just the addition of hand-embroidered lettering at the end of the veil.

If your dress is unembellished, a similarly unembellished but silky, flowing veil maintains a simple, modern look. Opting for a two-tier drop veil design combines the traditional with the contemporary, while offering you a blank canvas to add touches of personalisation if you choose.

Nia’s kind words ~

“Just had the professional photos back and wanted to send you some that show off the veil! I’m still in love with it… all the drama whilst still being so elegant. With my special little Welsh message 🥰 thank you x”

If you’d like to chat ideas, drop me an email [email protected] (bear in mind we’re fully booked for bespoke veil designs until mid-October)
