Affordable veils?

SarahOrca

Hi!
So I am clueless when it comes to veils. What is a "decent" price range for veils? I'm budget savvy, so the less expensive (while keeping quality), the better!

Any advice on places around the area to get affordable veils?

Thanks!

My mom and I made my semi-cathedral/chapel length veil.  We just bought a bunch of tulle and a comb, cut the veil to length, and sewed it onto the comb.  It cost about $10, I think.  Not hard, either - you'll just need someone to measure how long you want it (we rolled a spool of thread down and adjusted to which length looked best, then measured what thread we had cut) and then to cut the edge of the veil for you with your dress and veil on.  HTH

Yea we are making mine too and the cost will be less than $10. Here are some tutorials I am using as a guide as well:

I've been looking at a couple of options on Ebay and Etsy - here are the two sellers I like best:

I'll probably buy a plain veil from one of them, and then add embellishments myself (or my Mom will!).  I'm hoping when I have alterations done to my dress, they can save some of the extra lace, so we can add it to the veil.

I defnitley agree to make it yourself. My mom just made mine this weekend and it was super easy, for about $10. Just get some tulle that will match and make it the length/shape you desire. GL! (I hope to post some pics of my veil in my bio tomorrow so you can see mine!)

I got mine on Craigslist.

I'm also making my veil, but if you don't want to go that route, I saw REALLY cute ones on etsy for around $35.00

Or is you want to try one on, my friend got hers (which is SUPER CUTE) from Che Bella in St Paul, and I think she paid $75, which is a pretty decent price.
