I’m curious as to how much the average bride spends on her veil. I’m debating on buying from the salon, ordering off the internet, or having one made. I’ve had an idea of what I wanted to look like on my wedding day since I was 11, but I am having a hard time putting a large chunk of change on a veil.
So if you all wouldn’t mind voting on how much your veil cost and what type of veil you wore.
ETA: I updated the poll so you can vote for your type of veil and how much you spent.

Mine was fingertip length I think, or at least it was on me. It had just a line of plain beading along the bottom edge. It waas two-tiered, so that the top tier was the blusher. It was right around $50 from the store where I got my dress, however my dress was not from a bridal salon (just a special events dress store) so it was less expensive than it would’ve been at a bridal salon. I liked it, but not enough to have spent more money on it.

@Tigerlilybride: I’ve had my heart set on a cathedral length FOREVER. But they are just so expensive. I don’t have anyone I could borrow a cathedral from. So its either cough up the cash, or make it myself and not have the embroidery along the edge that I like.

I fell in love with a beaded lace fingertip length veil at the salon. However, I wasn’t willing to pay the $350 price tag. I went home and found it online for $140.

I found one when I was at the bridal shop that I absolutely loved, but when I saw the pricetag I almost died. It was $300. So, after taking more time to look at the veil I decided to make mine because tulle costs like $2/yard. I got lace trim off etsy and sewed it onto the veil.

@NurseMandie: Mine’s a plain, single-tier cathedral-length; it cost $300.

@NurseMandie: I wore my grandma’s 60+ year old veil, it was a blusher finger tip that was 100% free 🙂

My veil is elbow length.. and trimmed with the exact lace on my dress. I paid just about $500 for it.
For some reason I had such a hard time pulling the trigger on it, it just felt like such a waste.. but my mom wanted me in a veil and I did look really good in it.

@tentwelvethirteen: *slow clap* it looks beautful! If you hadn’t have said you made it yourself I would have thought you bought it.

Mine was $130!
It was a cascade veil, and it was fingertip length in the back and elbow length in the front!

Mine was super simple, finger tip length with a blusher and I only wore it for the ceremony. It cost me under $20 because I made it with the help of my aunt.

I am embarassed by this… mine was $450. It’s cathedral length and lined with lace. I have always wanted a cathedral length veil and I was $800 under budget on my dress… so it kind of just happened.
*hides in shame*

I regret getting the veil from the same store as my dress. It was too short and way too expensive. I am going to exchange it when it comes in and buy a chapel online for like $20. They are SO expensive in the stores!!
