Bridal Shops

Hi, first post here.  Can anyone recommend a bridal store in the Chicago suburbs, preferably west or northwest, that carries a good selection of quality veils and tiaras that don't cost a fortune?  I've found a lot online that I like and are much more reasonably priced, but I'm wary of the quality.  For example, I found a tiara online and when I did go to the store, it was very cheap looking.  I don't want to run into the same thing with buying something online when most online businesses either do not accept returns or have a restocking fee.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Kathryn's Bridal in McHenry has a nice selection of both birdcage veils, traditional veils and fascinators.  My daughter's birdcage veil cost approximately $100 if I recall, and it had some embellishments on it.

    I can't necessarily speak to the costs since I didn't buy a veil, but both Crystal Bride in Geneva and The Wedding Etc. store in Downers Grove both have a large selection and are great quality.  Good luck!

    I don't know what your budget is, but I tried The Wedding Etc. in Downer's Grove for veils and accessories and I thought they were quite pricey...Maybe that's just my budget though.

    I got my dress at Crystal Bride in Geneva and would have gotten a veil there if my FMIL wasn't making it.  They are not too bad with prices.
