The Veil

AEW, on August 2, 2019 at 7:35 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 17

Hi Hi

I'm currently on the hunt for a nice veil. Originally, I had my veil all picked out when I went dress shopping, but after the hurricanes in 2017, I had to be refunded the cost of it and the clip I wanted to wear after. My friend has suggested looking on David's Bridal to see if I could reorder it online since I still have the style number and everything, but I'm not sure I want to pay so much for it anymore. I was given a very nice discount on it at the time and now it's full price.

Any suggestions?

    I didn’t order mine here but I did order swatches to see if the material is good quality. Their veils are very cheap and come in every color, from ivory to blue! I would have bought my veil here if I didn’t order my petal veil elsewhere.

    As PPs said, Amazon and Etsy are great places to look for veils that are gorgeous but don't cost a fortune!

    I borrowed my veil. I wonder if the hurricane thing could be explained and you could get the discount again, but since DB is so big maybe not

    Hmmm, a borrowed veil? i didn't think about that. That's actually not a bad idea. I have 2 friends that have recently gotten married so maybe I could ask one of them. That would be a great touch. Thanks Katherine!

    Ask around for a local seamstress. Veils are very cheap to make and are then customizable to meet your exact wants/needs!

    I'm in Alaska for the summer and then in 2 months, I'll be joining FH in NY. I'm sure I can find something there. But I really don't want to pay an arm and a leg for one. So we'll see.

    Check out consignment shops. I bought a $150 veil for $50. Best of luck!

    I got mine off amazon. It was only $7 when I bought it. I’m beyond happy with it!! I showed it to my friend and even she said it’s gorgeous! Can’t beat that price either!

    Sound like Amazon is the way to go ladies! I will definitely take a look and see if anything catches my eye.

    Thanks y'all!

    I would like an elbow length 2 tier. I can have some lace or something on it since my dress has lace and beads. Other than that, it just has to catch my eye, you know?

    Yeah of course! I’d definitely check out Etsy. Mine was very different from what you’re describing (i had a single tier cathedral) but I got it from Bridals by Teri on Etsy, it was like $40 and really great quality. I think she makes other types too so definitely worth checking out!
