Brides Often Ask

How to secure a veil comb in my hair for all wedding days?

Start by raising the top section of your hair and fixing hair-colored Bobby pins beneath in cross-section. Cover your prep work by bringing down the raised section, depending on your hairstyle. Fix some crossed hair-colored Bobby pins on your veil comb and pin them into your hair. Whatever style you choose, we’re sure it will stay firm.

How to choose the length of the wedding veil?

Three factors determine your veil length — the dress, venue, and hairstyle. As a rule, your veil should work with your dress silhouette. It should also match and accentuate your dress without overpowering or detracting from the details. In addition, the wedding venue determines the length of your veil. For instance, a beach wedding would need a shorter veil length, while church weddings could accommodate cathedral-length veils. Lastly, your hairstyle plays a role in your veil length choice because of the supportive base. The lengthier the veil, the stronger the supportive base.

What hairstyles look best with a veil?

Many people believe that a veil is a symbol of a wedding. But not all hairstyles are suitable for this accessory. Collected hairstyles look the best with a veil.

  • If it is a low beam, then the veil is worn in front of the beam. It is neatly distributed and securely fastened. Important to fasten the veil so that at the moment when you take it off, the hairstyle does not deteriorate. Better to choose a light, single-layer veil so that it does not overlap the entire hairstyle.
  • Give up the two and three-layer veil, as well as the veil, which consists of several tiers. It’s no longer fashionable.
  • Tail and veil are incompatible.
  • If you have picked curls as a wedding hairstyle, the veil should be very light and transparent. Choose light flying fabrics.

PRO Tips
Choosing a Veil Length

When choosing a veil, you need to know which length will look best with your dress. Veils are available in various lengths; these are cathedral length, shoulder length, elbow length and fingertip length. Some bridal veils have a “front veil” as well; it is shoulder-length, no matter which length of veil you choose.

  • Cathedral-length veils pair well with long-trained dresses and are more regal than some of the shorter veil lengths
  • Shoulder-length veils can be paired with nearly any style of wedding dress.
  • Elbow-length veils work well with dresses that have their ornamentation starting at the waist, as well as dresses with no train and where the skirts are not overly luscious. Nearly any dress can be paired with an elbow-length veil.
  • Fingertip-length veils fall to the tips of the bride’s fingers and can be paired with any wedding dress except those which are fairly short.
  • The front veil is an included part of many veils and is considered very romantic. If you’re pining for a traditional wedding, you’ll probably want to opt for a veil with a front veil, regardless of the veil length.

Wedding hairstyles with veils and flowers are stunning and we’re not ashamed to say it. We love flower-veil combinations for garden, rustic, beach, woodland, and country weddings. They match the Mermaid silhouette, tea-length dresses, slips, strapless, and mono-strap dresses. Match a flower crown of wispy petals, lush foliage, and Scottish ferns in a partial crown.
