I would never feel as if I had to buy a headpiece to match my wedding gown from the salesperson who sold me the gown. The salesperson is most likely being paid on a comission. The mark up on the extras is where the consultants really make their money. Think outside the box--go vintage: here is where you can have your something borrowed--use a family heirloom to create your veil; or take the opportunity to create something new, do what I will do, have someone you know design & create it for you. I want a crocheted veil, adorned with swaroski crystals. Luck to all. Don't be coaxed into a headpiece that you will be embarrassed about ten years from now like everyone that married in the 1980's did.
