ABOUT STAR AND LEAF VEILS

Your imagination and my paintbrush go on a journey together

I paint beautiful custom veils for a bespoke and unique touch to your wedding.

You deserve a wedding look that is unique to you. One which perfectly represents your personality or symbolises a special emotion that is meaningful to your relationship. This is your wedding we’re talking about, and it’s all about you!

Your wedding veil might be long or short, understated or dramatic, but a painted veil is always spectacular, so you can feel one in a billion, just like you should!

A painted veil allows you to have your very own, one of a kind, veil which is entirely exclusive to you.

How does it work?

It’s easy to have your perfect wedding veil.

I’ve kept my process super simple, and most importantly, fun and enjoyable!

Start by booking your free, no obligation consultation.
 

  • At your free consultation, you can tell me all about your wedding! We’ll get to know each other and discuss what kind of veil you want.
  • I will go away and draft a design (which is also free!).
  • If you choose to go ahead with your painted veil, we will then have another chat where you can request refinements to the design and discuss costs.
  • During the painting process I will take photographs and keep you updated with the progress of your veil. Please note – all designs and photographs of your veil are our little secret so as not to spoil the surprise!
  • Your veil will be sent out to you in a beautiful presentation box (which you can also store your veil in before and after the wedding).

    FAQs

    HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

    Painting a veil takes 2-4 weeks depending on the size of the veil and my availability.

    HOW DO I CARE FOR MY PAINTED VEIL?

    Your veil should be hung for 12-24 hours before it’s worn to allow any creases to drop out. Do not allow it to come into contact with anything hot such as hair dryers or irons.

    It can be hand washed gently using hand wash detergent only.

    HOW MUCH DOES A PAINTED VEIL COST?

    Prices start at £200.

    DO YOU PAINT OTHER GARMENTS?

    Yes, I can paint on any garment. Popular choices include capes, bridesmaids dresses and shawls, just ask!

    Debbie Starr

    Hand-crafter of beautiful veils

    I began painting on silk 25 years ago, when I was living in Denmark. Over the years I have worked on and perfected a technique that I now use on all kinds of veils.

    Painting on fabric is a wonder to me, the way the paint reacts and moves over the fibres is a fascinating process. I love the way the colours blend and change as the painting develops, the colours changing as they dry. Images I paint changing shape. It is alchemy of sorts.

    But what is even more special to me is watching a bride’s face light up when she sees that I have made her dream veil a reality.

     

    I don’t really consider myself an artist. After all, this is YOUR dream.
