Kate Haley is a bridal designer based in Brooklyn NY, specializing in veil design and creation, as well as offering customization services for vintage apparel pieces and family heirlooms to be worn for any occasion.

Creative to her core, Kate Haley is the dreamy, dynamic designer you'll want on your team for your wedding day (or any other big day for that matter!). With a lifelong passion for the arts and all of the flair that comes along with that love, Kate has always sought to find the beauty in the ordinary and bring it out to shine in its own right. She loves to embrace a range of styles, able to adapt the personal style of any individual to match any and all requests - from the whimsical to the eccentric to the classic - Kate can effortlessly bring your vision to life.

Kate studied fashion design at Drexel University in Philadelphia, where she focused on bridal and evening wear - winning numerous awards for her senior thesis collection. After graduation, she spent the summer in Paris where she completed a master class studying haute couture techniques and craftsmanship under Maison Lemarié, part of les Métiers d’Art Chanel. In the time abroad, she refined her stitching and appliqué process, and worked on pleating techniques. Her works were exhibited in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, part of the Musée de Louvre (in her personal opinion, the most surreal moment of her academic career!).

Originally from New Jersey, Kate has been living and working in New York City for the past eight years, and is constantly inspired by the people that she meets and the vibrant city around her. Her professional career in the city started in fashion, and then evolved into working within the home design industry - but she could never forget her first love of bridal design. When her friends and family began getting married, she was more than ready to jump back into the world of design, creating memorable keepsakes for her clients for their wedding days. 

To this day, Kate has worked with countless brides from all over the world, each time delivering a one of a kind piece for a one of a kind bride. She believes that originality and uniqueness should be sewn into every fiber of the veils she creates, so that no two brides have the same look. She takes on a limited number of brides per calendar year, to ensure that the work that leaves her hands is thoughtful and intentional for the client receiving it. 

Whether you need someone to take on your most outlandish vision and bring it to fruition, a friend to lean on during the chaos of wedding planning, or provide thoughtful and nuanced insight into your bridal look - Kate is the person you’ll want in your corner.
