I have no clue what the price of a veil is. How much is a designer cathedral length veil. Like a Vera Wang...

Obviously not comparing like-with-like, but my veil is $220.  It is a finger-tip veil, trimmed with silk-satin.  Made by Paloma Blanca.
I guess there is quite a price range though!!!

I tried on several Toni Federici veils (this was the brand carried in the Monique Lhuillier flagship salon...so I think this counts as designer) that were cathedral length.  I don't remember the exact prices, but the ones with lace details were over $1,000.

It really depends.  You can find used designer veils for a lot less than in the bridal shops.  You can also have something that looks designer made online by a few good rep companies for a fraction of the cost.  Or you can be like me and buy one kinda as a joke for 9.00 shipped and be flabbergasted when it actually is a really nice veil, and looks perfect!

So, it really depends on what your looking for.  I think recall someone buying one from a high end store in NYC somewhere and it running 500.00...I can easily see that if its designer, and I can see more if its cathedrial length with any lace or beading.

My cathedral mantilla lace veil by Paloma Blanca is 600 CAD. I think Vera Wang would be much more!

Designer veils can be a LOT. Especially at a bridal store like redrose said.

Try www.obridal.com (Occansey designs). I bought 2 from her and they were great and reasonably priced.

I got a plain edge cathedral length for 80. My other cathedral length with lace edge was 200, and that was the best price I found. I tried on some Pronovias ones that were well into the 800's and 900's where I got my dress.

They had a Vera and a couple of Dior's on display at the salon where I bought my dress. The Vera i saw was square-cut, and pretty simple (maybe to match one of her dresses? I'm not sure, I skipped trying on the Vera dresses, so I wouldn't have a clue). But, that one was $2,500. The Dior, which was a plain, 2-layer, cut edge, standard fullness regular bridal tulle veil (not silk or anything) was $1,100.

I Really didn't like anything I saw out at the shops. I ended up ordering a really long, drop-veil with no embellishments, and a cut edge. There's not even a comb, it will have to be hat-pinned to my headpiece for the ceremony. It was $90 at veilshop online. It looks better than the other things I tried on, and I don't feel too bad not wearing it all night (I want to remove it after the ceremony/pictures). If i had blown a wad of cash on a veil, I think I'd feel guilty not wearing it all night, because seriously, when can I ever wear it again n my life?

I agree. If you spend $$$ on it you will maybe feel obliged to wear it all night. And on honeymoon. And at home when you're doing the ironing...

I purchased a chapel length mantilla veil by Monique Lhuilllier for $800.00. The quality is fantastic (I tried on M A N Y ). I can't wait to wear it!

Mine was 170? Simple satin trim, not designer, as far as I know... Just something I picked up at the bridal shop. There were some in excess of $800, though.

I don't know... didn't pay too much attention to it & wanted something inexpensive (Um... I never thought I'd say three feet of mesh @ $170 was inexpensive)

I think purchasing offline can be a *bit* risky, though. Perhpas go to a bridal salon, find some you like, and seek out similar styles online. I'm thinking of a particular Bridezilla episode with a crazy NJ (I think?) bride who was re-marrying her ex-husband. She purchased a veil offline and it came in bright white instead of ivory, and she freaked the f*c! out, ripping the $200 veil to shreds...
