would you buy a sample veil??

Original post by ssdbk

I fell in love with a headpiece/veil at a bridal store back in January. I'm an overly cautious person and decided not to buy the first one that I loved. Well, I have now shopped around and I still love that one, and only that one. I love it and it is a great match to my dress. I would not even change a thing about it if I could design it myself!!

It has now been discontinued!!! A store has offered to sell me the one they had as a sample in the store (at a price to be negotiated). I keep thinking that they would probably get old looking easily and that they are fragile. If it looks okay, should I just buy it? Would you buy the sample?

I shopped around for so many things and I always go back to the first one that I liked (same w/ my dress).

I wouldn't. The fact that people had previously tried it on (and who knows how many) skeeves me out.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!

Macys sold the sample to my parents!!! I was on Fire Island for the weekend and my parents went to Macys for me!!!! (My dad wanted to treat me to this veil MONTHS ago). Macys offered any refurbishing necessary but all it needed was to be pressed. When I had tried it on at Macys in January, it looked like it had just come out of a box. Now it's discontinued and the sample is still like new!!!---and it is MINE.

What a great weekend---85 and sunny on the Ocean, got my veil and partied w/ my friends and fiance!!!

Going back to work with a smile!!!

Thanks for the feedback, people!!

I really love the veil and I am glad I got it.

If I hadn't bought the sample, and could not get this veil, I would have always felt like I settled for my 2nd choice.
