Where to find affordable wedding veils that aren't cheap or heavy

Bridal boutiques often charge over a thousand dollars for simple veils, while budget options online are frequently ruined by heavy metal rivets that drag noisily on the floor. This combination makes it nearly impossible to find a lightweight, affordable veil on short notice without compromising on quality or dealing with uncomfortable hardware.
