Choosing The Right Hairstyle for Your Veil

When choosing a wedding hairstyles and veil, take your face shape into account. If you have a round face, sleeker styles with longer veils will look best on you. Fuller styles and veils flatter narrow faces. A talented stylists can adapt most hairstyles to suit the shape of your face. Veils that hang longer than your waist like the fingertip, chapel and ballet styles are heavy.

If you are wearing a long veil, tighter hairstyle is recommended. Choose a hairstyle with less volume up top. A chignon, where the hair is gathered into a roll at the nape of the neck or another option is the Juliet topknot, where the hair is twisted into a tight coil at the top of the head. Tiaras are still still the hottest accessory for bridal hairstyle. All accessories can look great with a variety of hairstyles and veils, but remember to use them sparingly. Too many twinkles can distract from your most beautiful feature -- your face!

The Updo is a favorite wedding day look and works well with a variety of veils. This style can work with a longer, heavier veil. Instead of covering your hair with the veil, consider piling your hair on top of your veil. This style looks gorgeous with all length veils, from floor length to the wispy flyaways, which are only about a foot long.

Long Hair. Hair left down can work with most any length of veil, but the rule of thumb is that your veil should always be longer than your hair so you don't look messy.Be sure to your hair set and use either hairspray or gel to give it structure and prevent flyaways.

Mid Length. A good compromise between the sweetness of hair left down and the elegance of updos is any of several in-between styles, where the hair from your crown is swept back and the rest of your hair is left down.

Short Cuts. Styling is key for brides with short hair. Shorter styles are more of a challenge, so whether you iron it, dress it, or slick it back, make sure that you win the fight against bed head. Brides with short hair look especially lovely with short veils.
