I would think that most brides purchase their veil from the same salon where they ordered their wedding dress but honestly, I couldn't see spending $300 on a piece of tulle that will be worn for an hour. So I decided to shop around online and find a more affordable option.
While I was certain that I wanted a veil with a blusher (I have been unusually traditional about the ceremony portion of the wedding), I didn't really know what length I wanted. Here were the contenders:
First, there was Momzilla's favorite - the Cathedral Veil. While it's formal and beautiful, I was afraid that it would be too long and cover the gorgeous train of my dress.
Then there was the fingertip length veil. I liked this better than the long Cathedral one but MZ complained that it was too short. I suddenly felt like Goldilocks!
Until I found the veil I ordered from Love The Bride. It wasn't too long, it wasn't too short. It was just right! And it only cost me $66 with free shipping! You certainly can't beat that.

I had a 2 tiered fingertip length veil and used the shorter tier as my blusher. The problem with a separate blusher is that they need to attach it to your hair somehow to keep it in for the ceremony and the "flip over". Also you have to consider that once you are done with the ceremony and need to take the blusher out of your hair so how would that affect your hair style.
nice choice of veil, not too long as to be awkward to manage and not too short as to be.... too short:) just enough to have fun with during pictures and you can still make plans to remove it if you really want to be unencumbered during the reception.
one observation the hair and the veil should be planned together to avoid the situation lisa mentioned. i've seen plenty of people put flowers in their hair only to need to figure out how to pin the veil on the day of the wedding
