How to Wear Your Veil
What are your tips for brides who want to wear a veil?
Less is more! A single tiered veil which flows to the floor or past your train will make for a more elegant photo. A silhouette of your frame will come through and look the most timeless. If you want to go for a shorter veil, be sure your veil hits below your bum. If the veil stops at your waist and lands above your bum this could attract some unwanted attention to your derriere!
What are the best hairstyles for a veil?
All hairstyles can be worn with a veil. Placement is key to having a modern to romantic look. For example a high bun with a veil placed in front will look romantic. If you are wearing your hair all down, place your veil more on the upper back of your head. This will look more modern.
Do certain styles of veils call for specific hairstyles?
From a birdcage veil to cathedral length styles can vary. There are no rules! If you are wanting a vintage look you could wear your hair up in a finger wave or let your hair down in a 40’s wave, tucking one side behind your ear with a decorative hair piece. Both styles, vintage and to complete the look wear a shorter veil. Long do’s or half up styles look great with a longer veil. Fancy updos look great with fingertip or church length veils. There’s something very romantic about seeing the intricate hairstyle peeking through the tulle of a veil.
What’s the best way to keep your veil in place?
Criss cross Applesauce! Use Sally Beauty Supply bobbi pins, they are the best! Ask your stylist to criss cross your bobbi pins when placing the veil.. First take a bobbi pin and weave into the comb and pin to the head. Second, take another bobbi pin and attach in a “X” position onto the first pin. This will prevent your veil from slipping out! Also, sew tiny magnets,into the edge of your veil to weigh it down in case there’s wind at your outdoor wedding. If your church (the to the floor veil) or your cathedral veil (to the floor and past the train of your dress) has embellishment, this may be heavy enough for the veil to stay put!
Once you take off the veil, do you have to change your hairstyle?
Any excuse to have TWO hairstyles at your wedding, do it! So many of my brides have one style walking down the aisle with a beautiful veil, then change it up, removing the veil for the reception. Although not a must, a fun do! Most veils are easy to remove, however, you will need a little help to ensure the hairstyle isn’t pulled too much while removing.
Other tips
Steam your veil! A wrinkled veil is a tacky veil! If you don’t have a steamer or a stylist who can steam it then place your veil in the bathroom, hanging from the shower curtain road and run the shower ( I know I know some of us are in a drought but its your wedding!) on hot water and let it set for about 15 minutes. At the very least let your veil “breathe” overnight but laying it out flat to prevent wrinkles.
