One of the things I'm most proud of myself for (during my wedding planning) was to get the cathedral length veil and headpiece for a total of $25.
I wanted a crystal tiara type of headpiece, so I was shopping around at smaller bridal stores getting ideas. Most of the smaller tiaras were inching closer to $100...I was seriously considering ordering one from a prom catalog!! (Which isn't a bad idea nowdays....). Anyway, I found some on clearance because the metal band (that would have been hidden by my hair anyway) was tarnished. BINGO!! A $90 tiara for $20.
The cathedral length veil was easy...go to a craft store, purchase tulle (however long you want it), purchase the plain clear hair combs (or barrette or whatever works with her hair...look in the bridal section at a craft store), cut and decorate the tulle (I had a simple rolled hem on mine), and attach to the comb. Put the headpiece on your head, slide the comb in near the headpiece to achieve the right look.
I also had my formal portraits made without my veil in (just the tiara) just so they would be different.
Have fun!!!
