“The bridal veil is an inseparable part of a wedding ceremony,” says Sever. “It also creates a mystique around the bride and her gown.” While the veil is customary in almost every culture and religion, it’s a piece that a bride can completely personalize for her big day. Galia Lahav’s bridal couture collection offers brides the opportunity to make their dream bridal look a reality with a made-to-order veil and gown. “We specialize in customized veils that complement our dresses,” says Sever. With Galia Lahav’s wedding veil collection, the bride is involved in designing her perfect accessory—from choosing the length, color, and shape of veil that best suits her dress to adding exclusive lace trim, crystal embellishment, and even beaded initials.

The collection features luxurious veils from a chic fingertip length to a majestic 195 inches in dress-coordinating shades, including a glamorous sparkling tulle. “A Spanish mantilla with elaborate lace trim is one of my favorite veils for brides,” says Sever, whose passion for embroidered headpieces and attention to detail started when he apprenticed for the Christian Lacroix couture house in Paris. “Drama and flamboyance are always present in our designs at Galia Lahav. Each bride is a queen for us and the veil is an essential part of her total look.”
