So I fell in love with this mantilla veil at Davids bridal when I bought my dress, but didn't buy it then because it is $200!! (sorry pic is huge- I can't make it smaller in photobucket, what am I doing wrong??)

I thought I would be able to find something similar elsewhere-(ebay), but no luck yet. The one's I've found just aren't as nice, and although I've seen two posted that are this exact style from DB, they have been in white, I need Ivory. I was to the point of convincing myself that I could live with out it and found a different veil I could totaly love, a floor length simple veil that would be all flowy and lovely, oh and I can get one on ebay for like under $30. Here is one that is ubber cheap: CUT EDGE IVORY CATHEDRAL BRIDAL WEDDING VEIL - eBay (item 170041827736 end time Mar-15-08 12:21:28 PDT)

But...here is my dilema...I was filling in my FMIL on the latest planning details when I told her this, she said she was going to surprise me by getting my Mantilla when we go back for alterations next month and that would be my bridal shower gift from her. So now she said it is up to me if I want the mantilla or would rather forgo the $200 veil for something else.

What should I do? It is so sweet of her to do this, but it's still a whole lot of money for a veil, I mean my dress was only $400. It would be extra meaningful since she went dress shopping with me, and was the one who suggested I try on a mantilla style veil. I'm so bummed about sorta-kinda ruining the surprise, plus I hate having to make decisions. I haven't even totally decided on colors, yet- but that's for another post.

Please, BDW peeps, I need your advice.

GET THE VEIL! If money were no object you would have gotten it in the first place and the fact that you've searched and searched and still couldn't find something that completely compares I think you should accept her generous gift. You'll feel like a million bucks and she'll be glad knowing she helped make your outfit so special for you!

The veil is beautiful and looks great with your dress but if you are still worried about the cost check out these two sites. I was also worried about the astronomical cost of my veil and the BDW ladies recommended these:

 

Tami got her veil from here and it matched her dress perfectly!

Wedding veils, bridal tiaras and headpieces at discount

 

Ann (thanks again) suggested this website and I am currently working with them to custom make my veil. I was vey surprised at the prices.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
