Ebay Veils

I have a question for the girls who bought their veils on Ebay - how did you know that you would like it? Did you already try on a particular style and just ordered from Ebay to save money? Or did you just buy whatever you thought that you would like?

I'm asking because Macy's in NJ has c-r-a-p for veils and I checked out a bridal place in SI that also had c-r-a-p So I haven't even tried anything on that I like yet - I *think* that I want a cathedral veil with a blusher but I was never able to actually try one of those on yet....

I might visit the Thomas Knoell store - does he have any veils? Barrons? Is that close to TK and JT?

thomas knoell has them and so does barrons and they arent too far away from each other

i got mine at barrons i got a cathedral veil with a detachable blusher (im not a huge fan of two tiered veils so i wanted the blusher for the ceremony but for pictures i only wanted the cathedral (im not wearing a veil at the reception)

there is a store in Brooklyn on Ave U called Bridal styles im pretty sure i tried on some veils there if you want to call them the# is 718-339-3222 HTH

How much do you wanna spend on your veil?

---

no more than like $250 i guess

i got mine on ebay, and honestly they are all just tulle. mine is the same exact veils that i see in bridal shops for $150+. I ordered mine from VALUE VEIL it is a 2T Cathedral length veil. I just couldnt justify spending hundreds for something i'll wear for 30mins.

I would try e-bay..but also you can look at the bridal places too! My veil was $250. But I got it free since I bought a wedding dress from my bridal place!

Try this site...

Veils

I hope that helps!!

thanks

another question - my dress is ivory - the last wedding we went to i noticed that the brides veil looked super white next to her dress and i hated the way it looked - it didnt match at all, even my FH noticed it (and her dress didnt even look ivory, her dress looked white - but the veil was like SUPER white)....how do you know they are going to match well? i WISH macys had a better selection so i could try them on with my dress

there's also this place online
http://www.occanseydesigns.com/

i havent ordered from there...but i just emailed the lady with questions cuz the veils that i wanted in the boutiques were super expensive and took 4 months to come in and tulle is cheap and i dont think im wearing it much. this place looked like they did a lot of customized stuff for not that much.

i also saw this place
www.veilshop.com

my cousin actually got hers from davids bridal and i was surprised cuz it looked exactly like an expensive one i saw at a boutique.

actually there is a davids by my job - i should def check them out

Barron's is in Levittown, right off the Wantagh Parkway. Its probably 10-15 minutes from JT.

They asked me if my dress was white, diamond white, ivory or whatever. . . they will match the veil to your dress. .

They had tons of options and while I didn't think I would 'like' any veils, I actually found one that I really did like.

I would check them out.

thanks for all the recommendations - what is it called when the veil is really plain and doesnt have any edging? i think that is the kind i want - something very simple and flowy with no trim - does anyone know what im talking about?

i attached a pic - i want a veil like this but to the floor - its very plain - does it have a name? as you can tell im clueless about veil stuff

here is my veil, and it is prettier than the photos could possibly show. I tried to photograph it, but it didn't work well.
