Handmade Wedding Veils by Blanca Veils
“My business officially began in October 2014.”
“Texas!” (But, of course, she ships handmade wedding veils to brides anywhere in the world!)
“I was a new bride on a budget and had the hardest time finding my dream veil. I wanted a long, lace cathedral veil but just could not afford the bridal store prices!”
I set out to make it my mission to handcraft gorgeous bridal veils and accessories, but to make sure to always sell them at an affordable price to the everyday bride. Wedding are so expensive and we don’t believe you need to settle on a your dream wedding veil because of cost.”
“My sister and I, along with my grandmother and mother, started handmaking veils around a kitchen table. What started so small has turned into something that we never imagined!”

Our quality of veils and customer service still is the same as we work with each bride individually to create a gorgeous, custom veil that is sure to be an heirloom piece for generations to come.”
