Used veil?

Laura, on August 4, 2017 at 10:18 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 11

Hey everyone! I've recently found a veil I love on BHLDN that retails for $375. I think this is way too much to spend on something that I'll only wear for the ceremony.

I found the same veil used on Offer Up. The bride recently got married and says she only wore it for the 30 minute ceremony. She's asking $100 for it.

What are your thought on a used veil? How much would you pay for one?

    If it was the one you want and you have to have it then I would think the $275 savings is worth it.

    As long as it's in good condition, you are saving money!

    I wore a used veil in my first wedding. It was my something borrowed. I wouldn't think twice about saving that kind of money. Especially since I don't plan on wearing my veil for very long.

    That would be a no-brainer, as long as there wasn't any holes or rips in the veil!

    Have you looked around on Etsy or Amazon to see if you can find something similar? You could probably even get a custom made veil for $100.

    I'm with MrsC@B, $100 still seems high when you can find them online at Amazon or Etsy for much less. That being said, if the veil you found is absolutely perfect and you can't find anything else, then I would have no problems buying a used one.

    Thanks everyone- yes I've found many on Etsy that are a similar price point. All good things to think about!

    That was the biggest challenge for veil shopping for me. Because on Amazon and Etsy, I could get things for much less. There's not a lot of resale value in veils.

    But if you're willing to pay $100 for the veil, then go for it.
