    I'm getting my dress from DB but their veil selections really leave something to be desired. Searching "bridal veils" on Google brings up about eight kazillion results and I have no idea where to start looking!

    Where did you get your veil from? And post a picture if you want!

    I highly suggest glamgal.com.  She has stunning veils and can custom order make about anything.  Anne is amazing to work with and is probably the sweetest person I got to work with through my whole 2 year wedding process.  I still send emails back and forth to her.

    @Kant:  Do you have a friend that you could borrow one from?  That is what I did, which made the veil very meaningful...and, of course, my "something borrowed".  Smile

    @tksjewelry: Checking that site out, thanks!

    @melisslp: I wish I did! That would be doubly great because the only "something" I don't have is my something borrowed haha.

    I didn't want a veil at first, but it was something that my parents really wanted and we actually ended up getting one from Hobby Lobby :-P.  Nothing overly fancy, but worked well enough for the 30 minutes that it was on.  It was just a curly-edged veil, which I thought was fun.  Good luck!

    This was the box image :-)

    And here is a not-so-great photo.  It actually turned out to be very pretty!

    Borrowed from my sister-in-law...originally from David's Bridal, I believe.  Sorry, not much help there.

    I got mine from Etsy!  I wanted scattered crystals and all the ones I saw in bridal stores were around $1000!!!  So I got the exact same thing for about $100 from Etsy.  Highly recommend it!

    I got mine from a shop on ebay.  It actually ended up coming from someone literally like two blocks away which was kind of a strange coincidence.  I can't think of the name of it now, so that's not much help, but it was only $20 and surprisingly good quality.  It was a very simple 3 tier unfinished edge veil.  There are also tons of them on Etsy that are beautiful for a much better price than you will find in a bridal shop.  Just check out the ratings and you should be pretty safe ordering online.  Where is your veil from? :  wedding veils veil IMG 1327

    Got my Pronovias veil from a bridal boutique. The veil I want has two layers, but I only want one layer. They were able to remove one layer and charge half price.

    I got mine from etsy. the seller was: http://www.etsy.com/shop/simplebeautyveils

    She does beautiful work and the one I bought looked identical to the one I tried on at the boutique where I bought my dress (minus the $350 price tag...)

    I bought mine from etsy and the seller allowed to to customize it:)

     

    @Tswife4ever:It's beautiful!

     

    @shushu1208:Don't take this the wrong way, but I was surprised that came from a box. It's beautiful! Way better than dishing out a couple hundred dollars!

    @JewishBride: Haha it's okay.  I didn't want a veil at first but it was very important for my mother.  We were actually going to have a friendor make one, but it was 1/3 the price for a similar design.  Granted it isn't the best quality tulle available for the veil, but it didn't matter to me too much since it was only on for 30 minutes at the most. And I felt pretty in it Smile

    @Tswife4ever: Wow, you made that?  Gorgeous!

    Use Google for Inspiration but dont buy a NEW one unless totally have to or want to! There are so many brides selling theres or bought the ones they didnt end up wearing!

    Look on Craigslist, WB Classified, Preownedweddingdresses.com, recycledbride.com, and so on!

    I got mine from Ebay! And then a bee on here and finally from my bridal salon.  The first two were ruined by my cat!

    I got my veil from a place called Bryans bride in one of the local malls. My particular one wasnt very cheap but they had other very pretty ones. Maybe try your local mall a lot of them will have those place in them.

    I wanted my things to be as personalized and classic as I could get. It was a pain to find the "perfect" veil. What better than to make one I thought...

    You might have seen me post this before, but mine is a tulle blusher veil with a flower/feather fascinator from David's Bridal...

    Couldn't be happier! :)

    If you are ever interested in Mantilla (like I was), I can suggest this etsy shop, where I got my BEAUTIFUL mantilla.

    http://www.etsy.com/listing/61704515/mantilla-cathedral-length-veil

    She does custom veils. And mine was elbow length. It is made of english net, which is a different feel from the tulle. It is heavier, stretchy, and less transparent. The lace was stunning. The craftsmanship was immaculate. I couldn't feel more neat and romantic wearing this veil on my wedding day.
