The Carmen Veil — a handcrafted Chantilly lace mantilla veil, from waist to royal, in soft ivory. A single-tier mantilla edged with delicate Chantilly lace, offered from a short waist length all the way to a sweeping royal trail. Made to order, hand-sewn stitch by stitch.
Carmen means song — and this veil moves like one, the lace whispering along the floor behind you.
Choose a short waist or fingertip for an effortless look, or a royal length for a long, cinematic train that follows you like a melody. Fine Chantilly lace borders the soft ivory tulle, scalloped and weightless, romantic and unforgettable. Made for a grand, cathedral or fine-art wedding, it pairs with lace, satin or embroidered gowns.

The style
A single-tier mantilla edged with delicate scalloped Chantilly lace, hand-sewn stitch by stitch — never glued. Finished on a secure metal comb.
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.

Choose a short Waist or Fingertip length for an effortless, easy look, or go all the way to Royal for a long, cinematic train that follows you like a melody. Fine Chantilly lace borders the tulle, scalloped and weightless.
Carmen is made for a grand, cathedral or fine-art wedding, and it pairs with lace, satin or embroidered gowns alike.
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.
