Veils are too expensive

Michelle, on April 2, 2019 at 5:50 PM

Posted in Wedding Attire 125

The veil that I really want to go with my dress is $300 ugggggghhhhh. My dress was only a $800. It's a cathedral length veil, but I can't see myself paying that much for a thin piece of fabric. Has anyone order a veil from an online site/china Like etsy, jjs, ebay, amazon etc??

    I just bought a plain cathedral on etsy for 30.00 and bought lace and rhinestones to decorate it. It will only cost me 50.00. I will have to share when it’s done!

    Mie was $200 on sale I wish I could help. I trust Etsy 100% though and see cute veils there constantly now. I would have trusted etsy if I would have found one there first

    I got mine from USA Bride on Etsy! It was around $75 since I got it on Black Friday. Otherwise, I think it would have been around $100

    I bought mine from Etsy for $50. She hand makes them and it takes just a few weeks for delivery.

    So I paid $450 for my veil and I loved it! I was so excited to wear it and I did for about 10 minutes. My wedding was outdoor and it was very windy. So I had to take it off the moment I reach the arch... it even ripped of how bad it was pulling because it was a really long veil. I only have a couple of pictures with it since I put it right before the ceremony.
    So yes, find a cheaper veil! I bought a veil on amazon for my bondour shoot for $10 and it was amazing. Someone, long, double! Just perfect. I saw a lot of other options there. Just make sure you have prime and the vendor allows primes for free easy returns.

    RIGHT?!?!?! My bridal consultant put a $1,500 veil on my head (cathedral length as well)!! I laughed so hard when she told me the price. I ended up getting it on Amazon for waaaaaaay cheap! Always read the reviews and look at the review pictures! Not to mention I also want to spend under $100 on shoes....

    Etsy or amazon. JJhouse and such have questionable quality and downright bad ethical business practices. I started looking at making my own because, really!?

    I decided on hair combs instead. Better look, less cost, less trouble.

    The lace on my veil looks identical to this but there is no shiny detail in mine. I purchased on amazon for $12.99. I LOVE this veil and kind of wish I had gone with rhinestones as well now.

    I got mine from Ebay and I was nervous since its coming from china and i tell you the truth my veil looked just like the photo. The veil was just $27 but took about 4 weeks to be delivered, so if your going to order i would order 2 months in advance before your wedding so you have sometime to receive the veil and decided whether it works for you.

    I didn't think about hair combs. I definitely want a veil but I may use hair combs for the bridal party

    You can actually DIY it and have someone prepare it for you? I mean it would be less than what you would pay for and it will be much more personal.

    I ordered from Lightinthebox.com and it came in two days ago. Only took about 3 weeks to process, ship and deliver it. Looks just like the picture and would normally of cost me about $700 (I was quoted $685 by veils by Roxanne) but from this site I only spent roughly $50. Shipping and all.

    I ordered my veil from ebay for $16. The same one that was in Davids Bridal. I hope it looks good when it gets here. And I ordered the belt/sash for my dress

    I’d check Etsy, Amazon, or DB.

    Try Wish.com. I found a cathedral veil that I’m going to get that’s $22. Only down side to Wish is the shipping. But I’ve purofrom them before & the quality was pretty good
