I went to barron's today and left more confused then ever about the type of veil I want. I didn't know there are so many options!

So now I am curious...what type (standard, drop, mantilla, center-gathered, etc) of veil did you buy, did you buy it with any detail (edging, lace, etc) and why? I am in desperate need of help!

I also didn't want to cover the beading on my gown so I went with finger tip (with beading on the edge to match my gown) - I did try on the cathedral length but I kept walking with my head tilted back; it wasn't comfortable.

Maybe you can get some suggestions at your salon?

What did u think about their prices? I was there this weekend and he wanted to charge me 75 for a 3 tierd fingertip veil. And he would make it and what if i dont like it.

I got my veils at barrons too. It took me a long time to figure out what I wanted. I ended up getting a cathedral veil for the church and I changed my veil to a elbow length circle cut one for the reception. Just keep trying them on until you find the one or ones that are right for you.
