Vespera

See our real brides on Instagram for the vibes!

an editorial bridal veil with a French Chantilly lace crown, sewn on entirely by hand. The fabric is 160 cm wide with a clean light ivory tone. It pairs with all bridal looks. The color reads natural and warm. It is not pale or bluish white. It photographs beautifully and feels right in daylight and indoors.

Made from super organza, among the thinnest fabrics in the world, woven from threads about one fifth the width of a human hair. Years of technical development went into stabilising yarn otherwise too fragile to become cloth at all, and it remains the most expensive organza made anywhere by the metre.

The result is a veil that reacts to wind, water, and light, creating fluid motion and soft luminosity with almost no weight.

The lace

Around the crown, carries fine French Chantilly, one of the most delicate laces still made anywhere. It is light enough to sit on organza this fine without weighing it down, and it frames the face before the organza takes over.

Every centimetre of it is attached by hand. No machine holds lace this fine to fabric this fine. Each veil is finished one at a time in our New Zealand studio.

The name

was finished on an evening when Venus was sitting right next to the Moon. It was beautiful to look at, and the veil still had no name, so we took one from that sky. comes from the evening star, which is what Venus is called when it appears after sunset, the brightest thing up there once the Moon is out.

How it is worn

The Chantilly sits on the crown of the head like a headpiece. A short blusher falls forward and covers the face, and the organza falls behind, held in place with discreet pins by your bridal stylist.

Two lengths

1 meter (39.4 inches): the blusher covers the face and the organza falls to the hips.

2 meters (78.7 inches): the same crown and blusher, with the organza falling all the way to the floor.

Finish and edge

features an intentional raw edge, carefully cut by hand using professional scissors. The fabric shows minimal frilling with normal wear. Over time, light frilling may occur, which can be easily trimmed or refined if needed.

Additional sewn edges would add unnecessary weight and alter the way the fabric moves. Hot scissors are not used, as heat can damage the delicate structure of the fabric.

Care: hand wash only. Dry flat. Do not tumble dry. Steam to refresh, do not iron.
