August Veils

Custom bridal veils and headpieces for the modern PNW bride. Founded in 1998. We also wholesale to various bridal shops throughout the US.
(15)

August Veils was created out of the love of creating veils and headpieces for brides not able to find what they wanted in the current market. We also altered gowns to help supplement income while the veil side of the business grew. We still help many brides who visit our studio with restyling their relatives veils and headpieces, creating new heirloom pieces, designing veils to compliment their we

dding dresses. Proud to source local talent to help create products and alter gowns. We purchase as many of our components from the US as much as we can. As our business grew, many of our past brides referred their friends and family to us. Our alteration department exploded with the recent population explosion here in Portland as well as the multitude of past bride referrals. I myself as well as my staff feel blessed in the confidence that our brides have in us who have entrusted the care of the most important garment to our hands. We invite you to make an appointment when you are in need our services and products!

Loving this vintage feel! So romantic and feminine, and the Bridget bow was the perfect accessory. Bows are trending right now, and for good reason... it's a great way to update the classic bridal veil and add a sweet feminine touch. ⁠

"Elizabeth" got to go on a field trip to Tuscany! I'm jealous that I didn't get to go along, but so thankful that the amazing photographer asked to take this veil along with her. ⁠
⁠
This year has brought so many collaboration opportunities, and I'm seriously loving it! My veils take on a whole new life every time they are photographed. Each styled shoot is so different that it can totally transform my simple veils into something so much more than their parts. And that's not even counting the real life weddings! It's magic, and I'm in awe.⁠

Meet "Danielle"! With a narrow profile and delicate serged edge, this veil will perfectly compliment many different gowns. I especially enjoy pairing Danielle with slim fitting lace gowns... the limited volume of the veil will still help frame your gown without overpowering it, and the narrow serged edge will mimic the fine details in your lace. The perfect choice for a complimentary veil that won't take attention away from the beauty of you!⁠
⁠
This veil is currently at the August Veils Trunk Show at through the 26th, but will return home to my studio at the end of the month. Reach out to either of us to complete your bridal style with Danielle!⁠

Happy anniversary to K & B! Remembering this very special heirloom restyle from last year. It was such a special project to work on, transforming this rare wax-flower bridal crown into a new headpiece. Here's the story in the bride's own words:⁠
⁠
"The hairpiece was originally worn at my grandparents wedding in November of 1951. They were married for 65 years until my grandfather, John, passed away. My grandparents had 9 children, 25 grandchildren, and 20 great grandchildren. They set an amazing example for all of their children of what a strong marriage is. My mother, Mary, wore the headpiece in its original form for her wedding in 1989 as a way of honoring her parents. I wore the redone hairpiece for my wedding, 71 years later, to honor both my parents and my grandparents, continuing the tradition.⁠
⁠
Bethany’s suggestions on ways to incorporate the original hairpiece into the wedding day were very thoughtful. Not only did she recreate the piece for me - the bride - she also made a small hairpin for the mother of the bride to wear and the maid of honor, my sister, to wear. She also made a special broach pin for my grandmother to wear. It was a very special detail and connection to have the bride, her grandmother, mother and sister share in my special day this way."⁠
⁠
I can't begin to explain how special it is to be a small part in creating these treasured memories. To learn more about heirloom restyling, or see how I can help you reimagine your vintage item, follow the link or reach out!⁠ https://augustveilspdx.com/heirloom-restyle

Remembering this fun vintage veil restyle I had the pleasure to work on last year. Scroll through to see images from the original wedding style!⁠
⁠
The bride brought in this fabulous veil and headpiece from her mom's wedding in the late 1980's. We had a lot of fun discussing which elements she would like to bring into her own bridal style. She loved the delicate flowers and dainty pearls, but wanted something more simple and manageable. The bride also wanted to use the longest layer of her mom's veil to use as her own veil. We decided to make a medium sized comb and dainty pearl hair pins for her to wear, and simple hair pins with pearls and delicate flowers for her mom and sister to wear at the wedding.⁠
⁠
The bride and I worked together to create just the right design for her hair comb, one that was light and delicate but had enough oomph to be a statement piece. I enjoyed the process of making these items to help bring the previous generation into the current one, and how special to include her mom and sister in these memories.⁠

What do I love most about my job? There's so much that I enjoy... being creative, working with my hands... but the BEST part is helping a bride feel amazing on their wedding day. There's so much that goes into planning a wedding but once the veil is placed, that's when it all comes together, that's when they know they are a bride! I just love the magic that is made from some fabric and a comb. The fact that I get to help brides feel this incredible on one of the most important days of their life is such an honor, and something that carries me through all the highs and lows of owning a small business. Thank you to all my past, present, and future brides for allowing me to be a small part of your big day!

Introducing Shelby! I've mentioned this veil multiple times lately and it was featured in a styled shoot with a custom ribbon edge (see pic #4), but I haven't given her the full spotlight! It's definitely one of my favorite veils...⁠
⁠
This cathedral length veil with waterfall cut and thin ribbon edge is the perfect balance between drama and simple. The overall shape and volume of this veil will give you all the dramatic veil moments you could ask for, but still let you and your bridal style take center stage.⁠
⁠
This veil can and has been customized in so many ways... beyond changing the length and color, we can also change up the edging with seven different options to customize it to fit your style, or add some custom embroidery to further personalize it!⁠
⁠

In this line of work, I sometimes come across the most unique and interesting pieces! This bride was looking for a veil to compliment this dress she planned to wear for her wedding. Not just any dress, but an 80 year old dress hand-tatted by her great grandmother! Tatting is such an uncommon craft these days, but the details are stunning! I couldn't get enough pictures... haha! Each layer was more and more intricate.

The bride said that many of the women in her family have worn this dress (with two hand made under dresses) as graduation dresses and wedding gowns. While needing a little repair and some gentle steaming, this dress was in great condition considering how old it is and how many people have loved it. It's such a pleasure to see items like this that are steeped in such lovely family history.

To compliment the dress without distracting from its details, I created a very simple drop veil in a pale pink. The perfect addition to signify it as a "wedding" dress.

Not sure you want to wear a veil? That's totally fine, but have you met Toni? This veil is perfect if you don't want the drama of a long veil, or the volume of many shorter veils. This one tier waterfall-cut veil will add the perfect amount of veil to say "bride" without distracting from all the beautiful details of the rest of your bridal style.⁠

It's not always creating custom items from scratch, sometimes the bride loves a veil but wants some details added. This bride had purchased this intricate lace veil from Charlotte's Weddings, but also wanted pearls so she brought it to me for customization! We had a consultation to discuss what she'd like in terms of pearl size and amount, and came up with a game plan. We will meet again soon to try her veil on with her gown and decide if we want to add any more pearls. Reach out if you have a veil that you'd like to customize, or visit the website! I'd love to help your vision become reality!

This styled photo shoot was, in a word, STUNNING. The Shelby veil with custom ribbon edge was the perfect addition to this bridal style. I'm so grateful to be part of such an amazing community of creatives!
