originally i had thought that i would make my own veil since that seemed like an easy place to save some money. well, i then found my dress which i love, but the fact is that it's simple. i tried on a veil with it that had beautiful sparkles, and the whole 'look' fell into place. i tried looking for the veil on-line, to see if i could find it at a lower price, but to no avail...the fact is, if i try to make it myself (to duplicate it, that is) the time and effort will outweigh the cost to buy it.
i'm wondering...how much are your veils? what is a decent price to pay?
Even DIYing my veil won't make it cheaper! I bought the same scalloped lace edging from my gown to us on my veil, and that cost $100, then I have to buy the tulle. So all it all it may be $110+.
Mine was borrowed but the original price was well over $400. I almost choked.
I just ordered mine from Occansey Designs (another wonderful find from Weddingbee) and it was $65. I saw one I loved at the store where I bought my dress, but it was over $200. Instead I designed basically the same thing and got a great price!
Do you have any pictures of your veil? I have contacted an etsy seller to make a veil for me finger tip circular drop type veil with rhinestones for less than 75 bucks
I ordered mine off of E-bay from seller Venus_Veils. I got it yesterday in the mail, and it works for me! It was only 20$, including shipping to Canada from the US (she is based out of New York). It is a two-tier 1/8 ribbon edge fingertip veil.
just added the $100-150 option, though i think it might have messed up the other votes.
ok...stuck the $100-150 option at the bottom so as not to screw up the results. sorry for any confusion...didn't realize i had left it out before.
When we went to the store the first time, the veils were nearly $200. We went into sticker shock, especially since with two brides, the cost would have been doubled. However, the consultant we worked with called us several weeks later to tell us they were having a half price sale on veils, so we got both of ours then.
Definitely going to make my veil. Unless I find a good deal or can borrow it!
My veil is orginally $170, but since I get a $150 credit for buying my dress from the shop, I'm only paying $20 for it. I nearly choked when I saw the prices of veils!
Crap. I voted $150-200 but mine was $140.... I didn't see the other option :-)
Mine is a simple, cut edge custom length modified cathedral w/blusher.
I've made veils. I "could" make my veil. Honestly, I have enough on my plate right now and the one I got was just "perfect." i.e. the body to it, color, etc...
I'm going to attempt to make mine! The tulle cost $2.50 and I'll have to buy a comb plus maybe some ribbon edging, so I'll estimate $20?
Mine was $300, but the lace edging matched my gown, and I don't have the DIY skills to make a veil, so I thought it was worth it. Plus it's the one thing I'm keeping, so it's a great keepsake!
You might try wedding-veil.com they have a lot to choose from and great prices! Good luck.
I think i saw someone post it on here...ebay, there is a seller "Venus_Veils", all kind of veils and way cheaper. I got exactly the same one i tried on (at the store and there it was 150$) for like 40$.
Good luck!
I don't think I'm going to wear a veil, but I tried on a cathedral length veil when I ordered my dress and it was $750!!! $750! Granted it had alencon lace on the edge (it matched the Alencon lace on my dress), but that is a lot of money for basically tulle lol.
I'm planning to order a new veil from Ebay for like $20. That is for a fairly plain veil but I'm sure you can order it with more embelleshment for not too much more (a lot less than any bridal shop would charge). I'm looking at the seller "veilbylesliev"...
I bought my veil at a bridal salon and they were a range of prices. From $100 and up. The one I fell in love with was thankfully only $100 and it's gorgeous.
First I bought one at Etsy for about $30. It was a super cute birdcage, but I ended up deciding I wanted to go the opposite direction and do cathedral length. So I bought a few yards of fabric and made it myself. It was easy because I didn't do any embellishments, but I totally loved it and the fact that I made it!
PS - I still have that unused birdcage if anyone wants it
I second the recommendation for Occansey Designs-- got mine from there and loved it. You can customize everything.
I bought my veil where I got my dress. I went in for a trunk show thinking I could save some money but of course they had no prices on them. My mother and I agreed that we were just going in to get ideas but then we fell in love. I loved three different veils and couldn't decide so they made three into one ($$$). I ended up paying $1,700 for my earning my headpiece and my veil so I think my veil itself was around $1,300.
Once you put on a veil it's like a floodgate of emotions and my grandmother and mother were crying so there was no turning back.
After reading this post I feel like a jack*ss, but they did give us $500 off dress alternation because we spent so much money LOL. I was just really nervous about ordering something online that I hadn't tried before.
$35 for Ebay.
Unless you really really want a nice veil, nobody notices the quality of it or if the pearls are real, that kind of stuff. If you have real lace, yeah i see that being more expensive
Frankly, they sell patterns for veils at the stores and tulle is so cheap (like a buck a yard or something) to the point that it just KILLS me to spend 1000X mark up on them!
I had a veil with sparkles on the edges. It was GORGEOUS, 2 layer, waltz-length, very pretty. I got it on Ebay, the seller is Venus Veils. Definitely go check them out. THey were the cheapest (oh, 2 years ago? lol) for crystal veils. I have photos....

I bought my 72 inch 1 tier Chapel length veil with Swarovski Crystals on eBay from Veils by Leslie V for $29.98 with free shipping. It's really gorgeous and great quality. I saw the exact same veil at Davids' ON SALE for almost $200.
I bought a veil that doesn't match my dress for $99--I loved it and may use it for trash the dress photos (it has a crystal beaded edge).
The veil I got for my ceremony is a 120" cathedrdal with scattered pearls. I think it's from David's, but I got it for $20 off ebay--NWT! And only $9 shipping. It was just what I wanted at a price I could live with.
Now, I'm looking for a shorter one for the reception.
i just got mine from ebay seller - piggytiggy? one of those bridal shops. $17.09 +free shipping. i wanted to see the quality in person, figured if it was bad, i'd cut my losses at $17, but I LOVE IT! it's perfect and WAY better than the $350 one i tried at the bridal shop. i mean, i'm going to wear it for an hour? for maybe a few pics and the cermony?... IM SO HAPPY WITH MINE :)
it's a 1T finger tip length with beaded trim
mine was $200. my dress is short and casual, so i wanted a nice veil to dress up the dress.
Try this lady. I think she is on etsy. She is making me a cusstom cathedral length ivory veil with some shimmery tulle and adding rhonestones for $50! That's including shipping.
the original cost of the veil i found (at the shop where i found my dress) was $150. i was skeptical about this price, hence my post. thank you all for your veil search suggestions! i have looked everywhere, but did not find something that caught my eye as much as the one i had tried on....so i called to order it. turns out i had the style number wrong (hence the reason why i couldn't find it online elsewhere). the lady i spoke with wasn't so friendy, so i decided to call another shop here in NYC. well, there the veil was selling for $240. i couldn't believe it. after a google search, i found it for $110 from a shop in atlanta. i am so excited! saved money (relatively speaking), and it will be delivered to my door. yes, i realize it's a lot to spend, but i think this one is worth it- especailly now that i have saved a couple of bucks. :)
I'm happy you found your veil!! I actually bought mine from the classifieds on WB. The bride changed her mind on her veil and wanted to sell it for cheap! It was originally $200 w/ tags, but she sold it to me for $80! So I'm glad I saved money too!!
Hello! I am an Etsy seller, I make veils. You can visit my site if you would like. I am currnetly working on new pieces.
Thanks :)
Definitely try ebay and maybe you could go to a David's Bridal. They usually have really inexpensive accessories and you might could find one there! Honestly, I paid a lot for my veil because it was made to go with my gown...$1200. So I guess I'm not the person to ask! I can say that on certain things in your wedding, you should splurge a little bit and there's always ways to cut back to compensate somewhere else. To me, you gown and accessories are very special ad splurging on that to me can be justified.
Try this: look at the other areas of your budget and see if you can trim here and there to allow you to splurge on your veil. if it's that important, I say go for it! Or go to a local bridal salon or David's bridal and look for a new. You want to see it in person and see it with your dress.
Good luck!!
I would look on etsy. That's where I found mine for not a lot of money at all and it was still beautiful.
Cathedral veils are expensive. The ones I've seen at David's bridal were around $250, but part of it detached so you can wear it during the reception. I'm not sure if there was a cheaper one, but I don't think David's bridal has any cheaper options.
I would definitely look at etsy!
