Veil regret

I bought a cheapie one off ebay, and I do like it, but am not sure if I love it. But i do refuse to spend a ton because our ceremony will be sooo short and thats the only time I plan to wear it. I think I have felt this with several wedding related things because I started buying so much so early!

Also, I think I just have to get used to it because its not like i wear a veil everyday so I felt kinda funny with it on haha

I too bought a cheapie one on Ebay and I regret it, even though it was only 15 bucks. I then started researching veils on Etsy and could have had a custom one done, but decided against the veil all together. I think between the dress, the bouquet, the flowers in my hair (instead of the veil), it will be fine.

Yup. Veil regret here. Haha. My experience: My dress came in on order after waiting for 5 months for it (this March) I go in try it on, I take 1 look in their mirror (1st of all it was super wrinkled), and I too wasn't getting the "whoa look at the bride all dressed in white" look I am going for, nor was I feeling bridal. So, my bridal consultant runs off to go and try to find some heels that I can try on with the dress. While she is doing that I am scanning the veil rack. I choose one, try it on, and buy it instantly. It is what they call fingertip. I am wishing I went longer. The veil wasn't that costly .... $135 ... the ones I want now, the longer styles are like $200 and up.

I didn't try any veils on, wasn't going to wear one but now changed my mind. My mom said she would help me make one after falling in love with one for over a thousand dollars online.

My only regret is not wearing mine during our first dance. Oh and not wearing it a little higher on my head. I loved my veil. It was that one accessory that said "I am a bride".

I spent way more than I wanted to on my veil but I love it. It's hands down my favorite item that I'm wearing.

Can we see a picture? Just to get an idea of if the veil looks good with the dress or not?

My mom saved her veil. When her dress did not even close to fitting (we have totally different body types) and the dress had already been made over twice, so there was not hope for remaking it, I am at least able to wear her veil on my wedding day.

My mom splurged on the veil as well - and thirty four years later I am reaping the benefits!

I was thinking of having a bird cage veil but I am so glad I bought a traditional veil instead. It matches my dress perfectly and it made me feel more bridal.

Veils can be annoying, but I feel it is one of the things that helps you stand out on your wedding day!! When I got married I kept my veil on all night, it was part of my bridal look and I loved it. I felt beautiful all night. I have a feeling once your hair and makeup is done and your veil is on you are going to love it!! Don't think about the money you spent on it, like you said you can always sell it when you are done. Congrats!!!!

I'm doing a 1920's look. Plain lace dress, but overdoing it with the veil, bouquet and shoes. I splurged on my veil at $300. I plan keeping that sucker on all night!

Use your veil for your ceremony and then take it off for your reception. then sell it or gift it to your next girlfriend getting married.

I think my veil is beautiful, but I regret spending $200 on it. I doubt if it will even be on for an hour.

I definitely did not feel bridal without my veil, even though I love my dress! I have a cathedral-length veil with a blusher, so mine will only be worn for pictures and the ceremony. However, I'm team-veil! Literally this is the only time in your life you can wear one, and you only do this once.

I really want a veil but can't justify the $200.00 cost

Personally, I LOVE veils. I think they complete the bridal look. It wasn't until I had that veil on that I started tearing up. Plus, (and this is the best part to me) my fiances one request was that I wear a veil with a blusher (though he didn't know what it was called and said the "front part" while miming it). He thinks the moment of lifting the veil is timeless and romantic and just the best part of the ceremony. I loved that he said that and even though I already wanted to wear one, this sealed the deal.

They are so expensive! One I tried on was over 1200! I refuse to pay that. I never wanted one anyways....but still!

I got a simple birdcage veil on Etsy and I love it. I'm wearing a tea length gown and I feel like the veil really fits my style and makes me feel like a bride. :-)

I love my veil - but it was given to me by a friend for the wedding (my something borrowed) - I tried one on just like it and I loved it with my dress. So I am very much in love with how it looks - it's cathedral length and will come off after the ceremony.

I was lucky enough my

Coworker had one that matched my dress perfectly and she gave it to me. Veil will be a day of wedding choice but my mom really wants me to wear one so we will see.

Make it a day of decision and then sell it post wedding.
