For Brides Who Break Rules

A Bridal Styling Agency committed to shattering all preconceived notions of what a Bride of Color "should" be. We don’t believe in boundaries. Under our coverture, Black Brides are given a safe space to explore creating a wedding look that is not only fashion forward, but authentic to her personal style. Despite the bridal industry seeing and marketing to Women of Color as if we are all the same, VBDA strives to celebrate our various identities by being a resource for accurate representation and inspiration.

Hey! My Name is Dara...

And I'm the Owner/Lead Stylist here at Veil. Of course I want to thank you for stopping by but let's get down to why you're really here.

You believe that neither your love story or your style is the same as anyone else, so you have no desire to look like everyone else.

You value your individuality, so a "cookie cutter" wedding dress was never an option, but you could use some assistance with finding other options.

ENHANCE

We already know your style is a key part of who you are and we love everything about that! Now watch us use your day to day expression as inspiration to transform you into a bride that will stop breaths on your wedding day.

EMPOWER

Through this entire process we will encourage you to keep you and the one you chose at that the fore front of your mind. Because what better feeling than walking down the aisle knowing everything surrounding you is a reflection of you?

THE VEIL EXPERIENCE

Thanks to Dara my entire process was stress free. All of my appointments were set for both me and my bridesmaids. She made sure to put the focus on me and my happiness because I was so worried about my friend's and family. She paid close attention to detail and if I had the slightest bit of uncertainty, she made sure to correct it. She helped me bring my entire vision to life!
