The Estrella Veil — a handcrafted ivory Chantilly lace mantilla veil with a hand-sewn lace edge. A single-tier, Spanish-style mantilla draped softly over the hair, bordered with a ribbon of Chantilly lace placed by hand, stitch by stitch. Available from waist to royal length.
Some veils are worn once. Estrella is kept for a lifetime. Named for the star — la estrella — she falls from the crown of your hair in a single, weightless tier. As you turn, the lace catches the light like a constellation drawn across ivory tulle, soft as a held breath. Each border is placed by hand, with a patience no machine can imitate — born from quiet hours in a small European atelier. Where Chantilly lace meets your love story.

The style
A single-tier, Spanish-style mantilla draped softly over the hair — worn without a comb — bordered with a ribbon of Chantilly lace hand-sewn along the entire edge. Not glued, not serged, but stitched.
Tulle & colour
Soft ivory bridal tulle — light, airy and semi-sheer. Not sure the ivory will match your gown? Send me a photo of your dress and I'll help you match the shade, or order fabric and lace samples first.
Wearing a ball gown?
The standard width suits most wedding dresses. For a very full ball gown skirt or a wide train, a wider veil may look more balanced — write to me before ordering and I'll help you choose.
Design & style
Design & style
Estrella is named for the star — la estrella.
She falls from the crown of your hair in a single, weightless tier, and as you turn, the lace catches the light like a constellation drawn across ivory tulle, soft as a held breath.
Draped the traditional Spanish way, without a comb, Estrella feels at home in a church or a candlelit ceremony. Some veils are worn once — this one is kept for a lifetime.
Slow-stitched. Forever-worn.
Hand-sewn Chantilly lace
Hand-sewn Chantilly lace
Many lace veils today are made with the lace glued on or machine-stitched in minutes. Mine are not.
Every piece of Chantilly lace on my veils is sewn by hand, stitch by stitch — whether it is a fine edge, a wide border or a veil made entirely of lace. It is a slow, old technique that very few ateliers still keep — and it is the reason the lace lies soft and flat, moves with the veil and never stiffens or peels away.
Every veil is handcrafted in my studio in Kaunas, Lithuania, for one bride at a time. Tiny differences between veils are the mark of the hand, not a flaw.

FAQ
FAQ
How do I choose the length?
Measure from the spot on your head where the veil will sit down to where you would like it to end. Waist and Fingertip are easy to wear all day, Floor just brushes the floor, Chapel and longer create a train.
Will my veil arrive creased?
Tulle folds during travel. Hang the veil for a day so it relaxes, or steam it gently from a distance on low heat. Never iron the lace directly.
How do I keep it after the wedding?
Store it loosely folded in acid-free tissue, in a breathable cotton bag, away from sunlight — never in plastic. It is made to be kept and passed on.
Can I ask you something before ordering?
Of course. Write to me through the contact page — I answer every message myself.
