The Unique Value of a Custom Veil
The wedding day is the ultimate expression of personal commitment and style. Today’s bride seeks more than just a dress; she demands a complete vision that perfectly reflects her unique personality and the chosen theme of her wedding. The veil, that essential piece of bridal wear, is often the final piece of this personalized puzzle. It is the accessory that anchors the entire look.
However, standard, off the rack veils often introduce unwanted compromises. They might not match the exact shade of ivory in your gown, they may lack the precise embroidery style you have imagined, or they could be slightly off in length, which spoils the required proportion. When your gown is truly unique, the veil should be too. Customization removes these compromises entirely.
Tara Bridal is here to make that vision a reality. We are the trusted source for exquisite, handmade Vietnamese veils, recognized globally for our commitment to quality. Over the past five years, we have had the honor of serving over 3,000 brides from 1,553 cities across 39 countries, proving that our craftsmanship is recognized and valued worldwide.
Our Vietnamese artisans, with over 15 years of experience in the delicate art of veil making, are true masters of their craft. Their precision is what makes complex customization possible and beautiful. They translate your ideas into a physical reality.
The core promise of a custom veil is simple: a piece that is perfectly matched to your gown and deeply meaningful to you. This guide will lay out the two clear paths to creating your dream veil online with us: Customizing an existing design for quick modifications, or designing a Bespoke creation from scratch for a truly one of a kind piece.

The Two Paths to Perfection: Choosing Your Custom Journey
Before beginning, it is important to choose the journey that best suits your needs, timeline, and level of desired personalization.
We offer two distinct services to create your perfect veil:
Path 1: Customized Ready Made Designs
This path is ideal for the bride who loves one of our existing Tara styles but simply needs a small modification. This might include changing the length, selecting a different color for the silk thread, or adding a specific type of beadwork to the edging. This is the faster, more straightforward option for simple adjustments.
Path 2: The Bespoke Design
This service is perfect for brides who require a truly one of a kind creation. Examples include incorporating unique, symbolic embroidery designs, matching a rare lace pattern from the wedding gown precisely, or creating an entirely new structure never before seen. This is the full, comprehensive creative process.
The initial decision is simple: if you have a clear idea and just need a longer version of a design you see on our site, choose Customization. If your vision requires new artwork or special materials not currently in our catalog, choose Bespoke.
Path 1: Customizing a Ready Made Veil Online (Simpler, Faster)
For brides who appreciate our designs but need a perfect fit for their gown, customizing an existing veil provides an easy and relatively quick solution.

Speed and Simplicity
The main appeal of this path is the speed. Because the base pattern and materials are already established, the turnaround time is significantly shorter than the full bespoke process. Most small custom modifications can be completed and shipped in less time than a Bespoke order.
Step 1: Selecting Your Base Veil
Your journey begins by choosing a style from our existing collection that is closest to your overall vision. For example, if you know you want a simple raw edge look but need extra length, select the raw edge design as your starting point. Use the product page to visualize the style’s core feeling and fabric.
Step 2: Identifying Key Modifications
Detail the precise changes you need. These are the most common and simple modifications that qualify for the customization path:
-
Length Adjustment: Changing a fingertip length (45 inches) to an elbow length (30 inches), or extending a chapel length (90 inches) to a cathedral length (120 inches).
-
Color Matching: Requesting a specific tulle color to ensure a perfect match with your dress fabric. This might be a pure stark white, a soft blush, or a deeper champagne shade.
-
Embellishment Change: Switching the existing applied elements, such as changing from clear glass crystals to a warmer, opalescent sequins, or altering the color of the thread used in the existing embroidery pattern (e.g., changing white thread to a pale blue thread to serve as the "something blue").
-
Adding Embroidered Initials or Date: Incorporating a small, personal detail, such as the couple's initials or the wedding date, discreetly embroidered near the comb or at the base of the veil.
Step 3: Submitting the Request
Once you know exactly what needs to change, it is time to submit the request. You can typically do this by contacting us directly via Whatsapp.
It is essential to provide high quality photos of your wedding dress. This allows our team to ensure the color, material weight, and overall aesthetic match with absolute accuracy. The more detail you provide here, the better the final result.
Step 4: Design Confirmation and Pricing
A Tara designer will review your modification request and quickly confirm its feasibility and design. We will then provide a clear custom quotation based solely on the required changes. Once you approve the final design and cost, production can begin. This confirmation step is crucial as it locks in the final vision.
Step 5: Production and Shipping
The production time for a customized veil is generally brief, typically taking only three to six weeks. Once completed, your custom veil is carefully packaged and shipped to you.
Path 2: The Bespoke Veil Journey (The Full Experience)

The bespoke service is the ultimate way to create an heirloom quality veil that perfectly tells your unique story. It is a collaborative, detailed, and rewarding process.
The Vision Realized
If you are looking for a veil that is entirely new, perhaps featuring an original piece of artwork, symbolic dates, or a complex floral arrangement based on a bouquet, then bespoke is your choice. These veils are created to last and to carry the unique story of your life.
The Time Commitment
Because of the specialized design and hand finishing required, bespoke veils require a significant time commitment. We lovingly design, make and deliver these custom wedding veils within 8 to 14 weeks. To ensure a stress free experience that accounts for unexpected shipping delays or last minute adjustments, we strongly recommend placing your bespoke order 4 to 6 months before your wedding date.
Phase 1: Weeks 1 to 3 (Consultation and Payment)
The Creative Kickoff: The journey begins with scheduling a personal consultation with our creators through our online booking system. This consultation is your moment to share your deepest ideas, inspiration photos, and any desired symbolic details.
Sharing Your Story: Be prepared to share photos of your wedding dress, your vision for the day, and any rare elements you want to match. You will work hand in hand with our creator to choose the perfect length, fabric (e.g., crisp organza or fine silk tulle), embellishments, and other unique elements.
Finalizing and Payment: Once the design discussion has led to a mutually confirmed vision and the delivery date is set, you complete the full payment for your wedding veil.
Phase 2: Weeks 3 to 8 (Design Finalization and Sketch Approval)
The Initial Sketch: Following your consultation, the Tara Bridal creator produces an initial sketch of your veil. This artistic rendering is a vital document, allowing you to visualize exactly how the finished piece will look.
Refining the Design: We value your input above all else. We offer two rounds of modifications to the sketch. This iterative process ensures that every detail, from the curve of the lace to the placement of the beads, is exactly as you imagined before the artisans begin any work. The final drawing is confirmed, freezing the design and allowing the artisans to prepare materials.
Phase 3: Weeks 8 to 12 (Handcrafting and Review)
The Artisanal Process: Our team of dedicated Vietnamese artisans begins the actual creation of your dream wedding veil based on the final approved drawing. Stressing the meticulous nature of the handcrafting process, this production phase may take up to four weeks due to the sheer level of detail involved.
Final Review and Adjustments: Before the veil is packaged, we send you high resolution photos of the completed piece. Your satisfaction is our joy, and this final check is the last chance for small adjustments to be made to ensure the veil is absolutely flawless.
Phase 4: Weeks 12 to 14 (Delivery)
Approval and Packaging: Once you give your final approval of the completed photos, your bespoke veil will be carefully packaged in a safe storage box, ready for its journey.
Shipping: Tara Bridal offers free rush shipping worldwide on every bespoke order. We are dedicated to offering you our full support throughout the entire process. If your wedding date is fast approaching and you need the veil sooner, please reach out to us to discuss rush needs.
