“After hemming and hawing over whether to wear a veil at all, I decided a very simple veil -- one that wouldn't detract from my dress's elegant back but still made me look like a bride -- was the right move. But my wedding was only a month or so away, and the simplest veil my wedding dress maker offered was, to me, outrageously priced for a patch of fabric that's more air than thread.
Miraculously, while catching up at our local watering hole, I discovered Kate designs veils. Hired! The next day, Kate hopped into action -- visiting I-don't-know-even-know-what-you-call-them stores to pick up a few samples, scheduling time to swing by my apartment so I could see my options, and helping me settle on the best material and length for my hair (a high pony), dress (satin one-shoulder), and vibes (hip Greek goddess).
When Kate delivered the final product, it came in a beautiful box with her gorgeous hand-drawn vision for me, which I've kept. And on my wedding day, the veil *was* a vision! It celebrated my dress and hair, catching the sunshine in just the right way and tucking into my pony with glamour and grace.
In sum! Kate is a true professional and talent with a clear passion --not just to make brides' dreams come true, but to also be a friend along the way.”

"Kate was an absolute pleasure to work with! She took her time to ensure all the small details were correct and the lace was perfectly placed! Kate ensured the dream that I had of a cascading yet framing lace that tied together my dress and cathedral veil. She worked so hard to find the best lace to match the lace motif on my dress, and spent time hand cutting and sewing each individual appliqué over the entire veil.
It was an incredible journey to watch and so fun when I was able to get updates. My aunt - whose veil this was sixteen years prior, was blown away by the sheer craftsmanship and work put into it. The best part was when I received my veil back from her - it came in the most beautiful white box with a big white bow, and inside it had the drawing of my veil and dress! If I could get married again, I’d love to have Kate not only make my veil, but make my dress - her attention to detail did not go unnoticed."

“Since meeting Kate - I always knew that I wanted her to design my wedding veil. Kate and I lived together in New York when I started dating my now husband, and I couldn’t imagine anyone else making my veil for my wedding.
When I got engaged, my mom and I had the idea to incorporate the lace for her wedding dress into my bridal look. I wanted to have my mom’s lace on my veil, and Kate immediately jumped into action sketching ideas that she had for the vision. She took so much care to ensure the integrity of the decades old lace when she sewed it onto the veil that she crafted for me - a perfect mix of old and new!
Kate gave me the veil during my bridal shower, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. Her sketch of me in my dress with my veil was absolutely stunning and it’s hanging in our bedroom now! I couldn’t recommend Kate enough!”
