Wedding Hairstyles with a Veil

You can hardly find a girl who doesn’t fantasize about her attractive and drop-dead gorgeous wedding outfit. Many girls at a very young age start to imagine their future wedding look trying on shop-window dresses in their head, choosing jewelry and wedding hairstyles with a veil, so that they can enchant all guests and mesmerize the bridegroom. An appropriate hairstyle with a veil is key when it comes to the bride’s outfit. It is this wedding detail that can make you feel like the real queen of the ball and have all the attention on your wedding day.

Hairstyles for hair of different length

The hair professionals’ arsenal is rich in various wedding hairstyles for any hair length. It’s not a problem to choose a perfect hairstyle or do your hair by combining features of multiple examples you liked. It can get tricky to pick a veil as it should beautifully complement your hairstyle rather than being awkwardly shaped as a bulky blanket.

The type of fabric makes a big difference.

• Simple and lightweight veil fabric goes perfectly with classic hairstyles based on neat buns and soft curls.
• Voiles and nets are more suitable for brides with short hair as well as for fans of smooth buns and seashell knots.
• A two-tier veil and its complex modifications will make the hairdresser sweat over the solution of the problem on how not to ruin the hairstyle. The best option is curls and weaves with decorative elements or some accents.

All details should be taken into account in creating a spectacular wedding hairstyle, including:

• the type, shape and fabric of the veil;
• the style of the bridal outfit;
• your face shape;
• your hair length.

The last detail is the most crucial one. After all, hairstyles for medium-length hair can absolutely not ruin the look on short hair.

For short hair

A wedding hairstyle with a veil should look romantic and gentle. To add a touch of festiveness to a wedding outfit, hair stylists tend to experiment, creating different shapes from smooth strands and cascading curls. They often opt for trendy hairdos such as ‘wet’ waves and delicate curls. Stylish wedding hairstyles are complemented by veils with hats or nets with decorative combs. A classic veil can be beautifully embellished with tiaras or headbands with rhinestones. In this case, the fabric can cover the accessory or be attached directly to it.

For medium hair

Medium hair allows you to dabble in wedding accessories. Curls, smooth and voluminous buns, as well as various types of braiding look gentle and go well with short and long veils. The veil is attached over the hairstyle or along its lower edge with bobby pins or combs. Such refined beauty can be adorned with decorative brooches, hair clips, flower bouquets, or beaded twigs.

Ponytail

A simple ponytail can become the cherry on top of your wedding look. However, to make other people say “Wow!”, it is not necessary to adorn your hair with a replica of a large imperial crown. It is enough to bring creativity to the traditional hairstyle, curling your hair and tying it up in a loose ponytail. Another on-trend option is a knot from the side strands. Bangs, teased hair, accessories, or a silken veil can be a nice touch to your wedding outfit. And voila, a festive look in the style of the 1950s is already yours!

Wedding hairstyles with a veil and a tiara

A beautiful hairstyle complemented by exquisite accessories will make every bride feel like a real princess on the eve of the ball. To make the accessory bring out the beauty and tenderness of your wedding outfit, we recommend that you look at the tips we have compiled for you.

1. The tiara should match the shade of the dress and hair. Therefore, before you start looking for a suitable accessory, visit a wedding salon and your hairdresser for a consultation.
2. Don’t pick whatever comes first. Try on a few pieces in different styles and shades.
3. After trying it on, do not take a tiara off for at least 10-20 minutes. Make sure it is comfortable and does not slip or lie heavy on your head. 
4. The shape of the accessory should be approached with care. It should flatter the face shape and the planned hairstyle. So, for brides with a round or square shape, experts recommend choosing spiky tiaras, and ladies with an elongated face should give preference to models of an even width, without sharp changes in height.
5. The accessory should beautifully match with other elements of the dress. So, if your dress is adorned with pearls, then your tiara should be decorated with beads or semi-beads of the same shade.
6. Balance is key. An outfit overloaded with decorative elements should be balanced out with more unsophisticated accessories.

Tiaras come in various forms such as headbands, diadems, head-pieces. Usually, tiaras are sold with a veil in the same style. It is incredibly convenient as it saves the bride's time. Moreover, it allows you to choose the perfect hairstyle. For example, neat soft waves, voluminous or smooth buns, or braids go beautifully with ornamental accessories with jewels. Classic tiaras require complex updos featuring curls or stylish buns. If you have bangs, it is better to make it smooth or side-swept.
