Veil regret!

K, on August 14, 2021 at 2:33 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 5
Hi all,


Yet another post from me (as my wedding approaches let’s see how many more discussions I can start!)
I had a really, really hard time choosing a veil. I eventually just picked one at random on Etsy because I just couldn’t make a decision and it seemed to have a little of everything that I want. I tried it on yesterday and it’s… really heavy. It’s a 137” two-tier veil with embroidery at the edge (just at the end. It doesn’t go all the way around). I didn’t really want a long veil but I thought it would look best with my plain mikado royal train.
I’m thinking about ordering a cheap fingertip off of Amazon and selling the other one. Has anyone sold their veils before? It was like $200 so I don’t want to just not wear it. And it is so beautiful. I love the look of it but the length feels unwieldy and I’m worried the weight of it will make my hairdo come undone.
My questions: has anyone sold a veil? Did anyone have a ridiculously long/heavy veil and did it mess up your hair? Pros and cons of using it?
Thanks

    My veil was super long and heavy. It did not mess up my hair, however it did mess up my walk down the aisle lol. It has a lot of lace at the bottom and my wedding was ouside in a garden, but it has a brick walk way and my veil kept getting stuck on the bricks. My head kept getting yanked back lmao and about halfway down my husbands uncle took pity on me and got up and carried my veil the rest of the way 😭🤣😂. Everytime I had tried on the veil I was inside so it getting caught never even occurred to me. I was able to laugh about it and just brush it off as a funny story to tell people but its still kinda cringey so I haven't been able to watch the videos yet or anything.

    Oh no!! I’m so sorry that happened! But it is a really beautiful veil. Maybe I’ll spend the $16 on Amazon 😂

    I think you could def sell your veil. Try preownedweddingdresses.com or poshmark?


    Beware I ordered a veil off Amazon and it was stiff and not so pretty. I bought and used a veil from davids bridal which I got for $40, it was better quality than my Amazon one. Just wanted to share!

    That's hilarious! Love your attitude about it and your imagery in your story telling is amazing that's probably why I always seen flower girls holding up long trains and veils and women sneaking beside the bride to keep it all beautiful when I was a kid.
