There is a wide variety of jewelry that a bride can use during her preparations. Today we will figure out how to properly attach a veil to a bride’s hairstyle.
- First of all, you need to consider your entire arsenal of hairpins, hairpins and bobby pins. It’s not difficult to choose the right color decorations; fortunately, salons always have various details for every taste;
- Scallops will do for fastening. They can be either colored or transparent, and also decorated with a variety of details. The efforts of the craftsmen will not be in vain. But if you want your own personal comb, try decorating the blank yourself!
- Classic tiaras, hoops, and headbands also work well to secure thin fabric to the head. Don't forget to match the details to your style;
- The veil can be attached not only to the bride’s hair itself, but also to various wreaths and hats using elastic bands and Velcro;
- It is necessary to check the type of veil before choosing a mount; each of them requires special rules.
Fastening with studs
In order to securely attach the accessory to your head, you will need to perform several preliminary steps.
- Make a small ponytail where the veil is attached. It will be attached to its base.
- Take several hairpins and bend one leg in half. Don't break it off!
- Use the long leg to hook onto the veil (it’s more convenient if there are special loops for this) and insert it into the base of the ponytail.
- Before removing the jewelry, loosen your ponytail. Otherwise, the hairpins and veil will get stuck in your hair for a short time.
Fastening the Spanish veil
Perhaps this is the simplest look, since you can not fasten it at all, but simply throw it on top of your hair, covering your face. Or, if you need to leave your face open, then the veil is simply attached with several pins around the perimeter.
Scallop mount
It should be understood that the comb is an independent accessory for the bride’s wedding hairstyle. Most often, the veil is sewn to the comb before purchase, but you can sew it on yourself at home.
Before we get down to action, let’s find out a couple of rules for choosing a comb.
- Metal combs are better than plastic ones because they break less often. Their fastenings are more reliable and will last longer.
- The width of the comb directly depends on the size of the hairstyle. The more magnificent and larger it is, the wider the comb you choose.
- A simple comb without decoration can be taken if the veil fabric is already decorated with beads, lace or various patterns.
- Don't forget to choose a comb that matches the dress and veil. However, if he is “drowning” in a fluffy hairstyle, this rule can be neglected.
In order to sew the veil to the comb, you will need:
- Favorite scallop model;
- Needle with thread;
- Medium width satin ribbon.
First of all, you need to turn the comb over with its cloves facing up and the concave side facing you. Then stretch the ribbon between the teeth of the comb in two layers to create a kind of braid.
If the purchased veil does not have a ruffle, you should make it yourself, so it will turn out more voluminous and add volume.
Choose the place where you will attach the veil, fold the fabric in half and sew with a zigzag exactly along the length of the comb.
The satin ribbon is sewn to the comb at the assembly point.
Ready! Thread the cloves through your hair and use bobby pins to secure the accessory firmly into your hair.
If the comb is not part of the decoration, you can always hide the fastening with a strand of patched hair.
Combination with various hairstyles
A beautiful and elegant veil will go perfectly with any type of hair. These can be buns, high braids, spikelets. The remarkable thing about such hairstyles is that you can easily hide any fastening in them.
Fastening on loose hair
Hairstyles with voluminous curls sometimes baffle many girls. The comb can easily slip down, and the invisible ones can even jump off and get lost. It's hard to imagine, but in reality everything is much simpler than it seems.
- First, style your hair the way you want. If they become electrified and “stick,” coat them with an antistatic agent. It is sold at any hardware or cosmetics store.
- Decide on the mounting location. Most often it is attached to the very top of the head.
- Separate a few strands from the crown and braid the length of your hair.
- If the veil was sold without a comb, you should take several pins (at least six pieces) and secure them at the assembly point.
- After attaching it to your hair, add jewelry if necessary. These can be beautiful stilettos or beads that will add luxury to the look.
You can sew the veil to the tiara and headband and not worry about it falling off while dancing. It is also worth attaching bobby pins and hairpins to them for greater reliability, but hiding everything with decorations.
Popular headbands with flowers are often used. They look beautiful and separate from wedding dresses, but a veil flying behind the shoulders suits them perfectly.
Decorations with fresh flowers have been popular in the distant past. Almost every girl could afford something like this. Everything depended only on her material well-being: some used bright roses, while others had enough cute and delicate wildflowers.
The fashion for hats has also reached modern times from the distant past. Only ladies did not take off their hats in enclosed spaces, because it was their accessory, and not a headdress.
This type of decoration is suitable for informal dresses or dresses in retro style. The mesh is attached to the cap using invisible Velcro.
Especially for short hair
Girls with short hair should not be discouraged, because there are different types of fastenings for them too.
A short haircut always looks impressive on any girl. The only thing left to do is to complement the image and not overdo it with details.
The appearance will also depend on the style of bangs. Smoothed to the side it will make the look romantic. Long, but twisted into curls will give the image a flirty look. Straight bangs will not only narrow your forehead, but will also add severity and passion to your image.
You can attach a veil to short hair using a headband, flowers or a comb. Most often, the most voluminous place in the hairstyle is chosen - the crown. Having combed your hair a little, you can place all the necessary decorations there.
A tiara can also be a winning option for short hair. It will be especially successful if the veil covers the back of the head and shoulders. The resulting princess look will perfectly complement almost any outfit.
A veil can not only be a sheet of fabric on the shoulders, but also cover part of the face, the so-called wedding veil. She looks especially impressive with a short haircut. The fashion came from the 40s and 50s, during which the Noir genre flourished.
Usually the veil is made in the form of a wide mesh. This decoration is attached to a headband or hairpin with flowers. By picking up the necessary strand, you can create a successful and mysterious image in retro style.
For retro style, small hats are also suitable, the veil of which “protrudes” almost parallel to the bride’s head. Want a little creativity in your look? Then this option is for you!
Every bride dreams that the main holiday of her life will be special. First on the list of important things is the decoration of the newlywed. Everyone has long been tired of trivial snow-white dresses with rings, generously decorated with artificial flowers and rhinestones; modern newlyweds want more. This is a wonderful trend, thanks to which the fashion world never ceases to be surprised by fresh ideas.
Our article is devoted to one of the types of such an important element of a bride’s outfit as a veil. On the colorful pages of advertising brochures you can find an unimaginable variety of options; some of them are very popular and common, and some seem like a curiosity. The “Spanish flu” veil is undeservedly deprived of the attention of brides today. But maybe this is for the better, because those who dream of something completely unusual have a wonderful opportunity to complement their look with this accessory.
Mantilla: historical background
Anyone who is at least superficially familiar with the national traditions of Spain can easily guess why this type of veil is called that way. Head coverings made of lace fabric were unusually common in Spain for some time. Mantilla is the name of this accessory, which is part of the national women's costume.
Fashion historians cannot say exactly where and when the mantilla was invented. But many researchers are inclined to believe that the history of this accessory is closely connected with the burqa, which the indigenous inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula first saw during the period of the Arab conquest.
The mantilla is not a copy of the burqa. What is common is rather the idea itself. Something similar can be traced in other cultures; even women in Rus' in the early Middle Ages used head coverings. The mantilla has also become widespread in the Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America.
In different regions of the Pyrenees, mantillas had differences. In the cool north, they were made from thick fabrics that could protect against the cold. On the Mediterranean southern coast - from the lightest canvas, capable of protecting from the sun's rays and annoying midges.
The fashion for this wonderful accessory was introduced by Queen Isabella, who often appeared in a mantilla not only during celebrations, but also in everyday life.
But the age of the beautiful head cape was short-lived: already at the beginning of the twentieth century, this accessory could only be seen on the heads of flamenco dancers and respectable matrons.
Mantilla in modern Spain
Queen Sofia, the predecessor of the current Queen Letizia, has always had great respect for the traditions of Spain. Sofia was born and raised in Greece, but during her reign she always sought to pay tribute to her new homeland. She often goes out in public wearing a mantilla even now. The current Queen Letizia rarely wears this accessory in everyday life. But it is precisely this decoration that we will find on her if we look at her wedding photos. The Spanish veil suits her very well and emphasizes the elegance of her modest but incredibly stylish dress.
Subjects often follow the example of their queen. At the beginning of the 21st century, many Spanish women increasingly began to choose this accessory - after a hundred years of oblivion.
Spanish veil in modern wedding fashion
Everything that monarchs do attracts the gaze of millions of people. Queen Letizia's Spanish veil did not go unnoticed. An increasing number of designers are paying attention to it and trying to play up the accessory. As an example, we can recall the latest wedding collection from
But we are not talking about a trend yet: the wedding mantilla is still gaining popularity.
Let's take a look at some stellar examples. “Spanish Flu” was chosen as a veil by Hilary Thomas, Alec Baldwin’s wife. A similar accessory can be seen on Camila Alves during the ceremony with Matthew McConaughey. Kate Moss and Gwen Stefani wore similar outfits at their weddings. The mantilla suited Nicky Hilton's wedding look just perfectly, which she chose for her wedding to James Rothschild.
Kinds
Another clear advantage of the Spanish flu veil is the huge variety of its varieties. The choice of product length depends on the tastes of the newlywed.
As for the shapes, there are only two of them: a semicircle and a circle. Everything is clear with a circle, but a semicircular mantilla can cause confusion in an ignorant bride. You can wear it in two ways: by placing an even cut (the diameter of the circle) on the forehead so that the rounded edge falls behind; or, conversely, with a sloping edge towards the face and a smooth edge downwards.
Fabrics and decorative elements
In different regions of Spain, mantillas were made from a variety of types of lace. Today you can rely on the experience of seamstresses and lacemakers of past centuries, or you can invent something completely unusual.
The entire mantilla can consist of textured lace and exquisite guipure. A single-color translucent fabric can also be used as a base: organza that holds its shape well, flowing natural silk, delicate chiffon, tulle with an interesting texture.
If the main fabric is uniform, the edge is usually decorated with lace. It can be either smooth, exactly repeating the shape of a circle, or figured or jagged.
Brides who have the means can also order a handmade mantilla, for example, woven with bobbins or needles, crocheted or made using other techniques.
Feathers of noble birds, pearls (and their imitation), beads, Swarovski rhinestones, precious and semi-precious stones are used as decorative elements.
Initially, the most expensive mantillas were made from Chantilly lace; today it is still considered a noble classic. Such an accessory is not cheap, but its range of tasks is not limited to decorative ones. Such a “Spanish flu” veil can become the first family heirloom of a young family, which over time will be passed on to the next generation.
Mounting methods
The question of how to attach a Spanish flu veil to your head is very important. If it is not fixed correctly, the exquisite decoration will either fly away or cause inconvenience to the bride.
Initially, special combs - peinettes - were used to fasten the Spanish flu veil. They were made from ivory or tortoiseshell and generously decorated with carvings. For weddings, white and cream peinettes were to be used, black and brown ones were worn only by married ladies, and flamenco dancers were supposed to fasten their mantillas with red combs.
Over time, peineta has changed a lot. Today, both elephants and turtles no longer suffer because of capricious fashionistas; modern plastic and other polymers are used. The accessory has lost its former purpose; it is often worn as an independent hair decoration. But if you decide to opt for a “Spanish flu” veil, you can also get a paynet.
You can also attach the mantilla with other hairpins. A professional hairdresser will cope with the task using hairpins, clips and bobby pins. It is advisable to entrust the matter to a professional, then the chances that the mantilla will last until the end of the holiday will increase many times over.
Let's tell you a secret: Spanish women used not only massive paynets to attach the mantilla to the head, but also small, inconspicuous pins to fold the free edge into beautiful folds and attach to clothing. According to the rules of etiquette of bygone centuries, shoulders should not be exposed when turning the head. Now the rules are not so strict, but if you want neither gusts of wind nor whirlwinds of a wedding dance to disturb the harmony of your image, you can use this little trick.
Hairstyles for mantillas
It is believed that a veil can be attached to any hairstyle. But the “Spanish flu” usually has a rather heavy edge; if it is poorly fixed, it will slide off.
- braids and plaits laid with a crown;
- buns, “shells” and “snails”;
- high ponytails tied at the back of the head.
The illustrations will help you imagine what a “Spanish flu” veil looks like with a hairstyle. Photos prove that different styles can be combined with this accessory.
What dresses does it go with?
A rich “Spanish lace”, generously decorated with wide lace, can become the main accent of a wedding look. As an ideal dress for such a veil, we can mention Meghan Markle’s recent attire - stylish and elegant, luxurious in its simplicity. The Duchess of Sussex herself preferred a different headdress for the wedding, but if her choice had fallen on a mantilla, the image would have been no less harmonious.
A long, fluffy veil that falls to the floor will go well with a dress with lace shoulders and sleeves. An example of such attire can be considered the legendary outfit of Grace Callie and Kate Middleton's somewhat similar dress.
With short dresses, you should only combine a mantilla of short length, but even here you should be especially careful: this accessory harmonizes better with elongated silhouettes.
But what you definitely shouldn’t do is complement outfits in frankly other ethnic styles with a mantilla, for example, Greek. Dissonance cannot be avoided.
Suitable for:
If you look at a photo of a “Spanish flu” veil and understand that this is the accessory you will choose, take into account the general style of the celebration.
Such an accessory can be ideal for those who gravitate toward the classic style, as well as trends such as boho and eco.
The elongated “Spanish flu”, sewn from thick fabric, is perfect for those who are planning not only a civil ceremony, but also a church wedding.
As for age, there are no restrictions: the “Spanish flu” is perfect for both very young newlyweds and older ladies.
One of the undoubtedly important accessories, without which it is simply impossible to imagine a bride, is a veil. There are really a lot of styles these days, they vary in style, color, decor, and length. In this article we will talk about such an option as a Spanish veil.
Another variant of the name: “Spanish mantilla”, and its history is very trivial. It appeared several hundred years ago, but gained particular popularity only in the nineteenth century, when it began to decorate the royal head of Isabella III.
At that time, any thing seen on the royal family or other famous personalities quickly gained weight and became a real fashion trend, and therefore soon almost all Spanish brides began to prefer this particular veil.
The traditional mantilla fabric was Chantienne lace, however, in the modern world there are an amazing variety of other materials that are also ideal for such an exquisite headdress. This could be: tulle, chiffon, soft tulle mesh and other light and translucent fabrics.
A distinctive feature of the mantilla is its shape. It can be either a full circle or a semicircle, which is usually decorated with lace along the edges. What distinguishes the “Spanish flu” from an ordinary tulle veil is that it always looks rich due to lace details and other paraphernalia.
Some fashion designers even prefer to make the mantilla completely lace, because the combination of the bride’s delicate skin and elegant lace makes the girl more feminine and her image more attractive.
Nowadays
Despite its exquisite beauty, modern brides have undeservedly forgotten about the mantilla, so its demand has never been lower. However, thanks to this, the girl who wants to distinguish herself from the rest can easily do so with the help of this veil.
In addition to its unusual shape, it is distinguished by a huge variety of models and decor for them. Designers masterfully play with lace and decoration, as well as with the length of the veil, so that the “Spanish veil” can be suitable for every wedding.
For those who want to keep up with traditions and have dreamed all their lives of legitimizing their relationship in the registry office, the average length of the veil, up to the elbow or slightly lower, is quite suitable. This is due to convenience and the fact that the beautiful detail of the image will not get dirty or tear in various situations.
Girls dreaming of a wedding may well use the traditional length of the mantilla, that is, down to the floor. Thanks to this length, the bride will look solemn and very elegant, and her appearance will be completely unearthly. And most importantly, you won’t have to ruin your hair with a scarf to go to church.
For those who doubt whether this accessory will suit their wedding attire, it is worth knowing that the mantilla is a universal item and fits absolutely any model, and not just fluffy dresses, as many mistakenly believe.
How to wear it correctly
Even after choosing an accessory, any bride should know exactly how to use it, as well as what hairstyle will suit it and how to do it so as not to look like a laughing stock and not get into an unpleasant situation.
There are a few simple tips thanks to which all your fears can be forgotten and will not prevent you from shining at your ceremony.
Traditionally, Spanish women preferred to wear mantillas under impressively sized hats or other headdresses. This was done out of necessity, in order to hide the massive comb that held the veil on the bride’s head.
But thanks to the rapidly developing fashion industry, the urgent need for this has disappeared. A great variety of small combs, beautiful hairpins, as well as hairstyles have been invented that can be used to skillfully disguise the place where the mantilla is attached.
However, if you don’t want to come up with different methods, then a hairpin or comb decorated with stones, or made in the form of flowers, animal figures and metal lace, will suit you.
Remember that this accessory should not contrast too much with your entire outfit, so as not to look tacky, so combine colors wisely and choose a hair clip that matches your look.
The classic version of the mantilla is distinguished by its impressive length, sometimes even with a train, but for an ordinary ceremony a shortened version, say, of medium length, which will not get in the way too much, will still retain the mystery inherent in this accessory.
Hairstyle for mantilla
An important point is which hairstyle to attach the Spanish veil to, and how exactly to do it. If you don’t like the option with hairpins and a comb or don’t like it at all, then you can easily attach the veil with a clip and decorate it in an original way with a fresh flower or a composition of flowers.
It is believed that a mantilla is attached to absolutely any hairstyle, and to some extent this is true, because if you have the desire and skill, the veil can stay in place even on freely flowing hair.
But it’s much easier to do this if you attach it to a high hairstyle or collected curls, and therefore you should definitely take care of choosing a hairstyle before buying a mantilla.
In order to choose the right hairstyle and create the perfect look, it is worth talking about what hairstyles are acceptable for a wedding celebration, and what exactly brides and hairdressers prefer.
So these could be:
- hairstyles in Greek style;
- waves, curls or ringlets gathered at the back of the bride’s head, or freely falling over the shoulders;
- shells, bunches;
- ponytails, ponytails at the back of the head, as well as hairstyles made from tails.
Naturally, only a small part of what exists is listed here, but if your master has a rich imagination and skillful hands, as well as a great desire to create, then you will be able to get something truly original.
Thanks to the collected hair, the mantilla can be attached even with ordinary hairpins. To preserve beauty and gloss, stones or flowers are attached to them, which will make your hairstyle elegant and harmonious.
But the veil is difficult to attach to loose hair, and therefore hairdressers have to resort to incredible tricks, such as massive fastenings, hoops, headbands, and hairpins, in order to prevent the mantilla from slipping off the bride’s head.
Remember that the fastening of the veil should be as strong and reliable as possible, if you do not want to spend the whole evening constantly adjusting it and give up most of the active wedding entertainment.
Don’t skimp on time, choose a decent and strong accessory with which to attach the veil, and be sure to take care of fixing it.
- Choose high-quality and strong hairpins, with good clips and fastenings, the same applies to combs.
- Always buy jewelry in reserve, because bobby pins often get lost or may fall out of your hairstyle.
- There is no need to coat your hair with hairspray too much; it is better to backcomb the area where the mantilla will be attached, otherwise your hair will look dirty.
- Hairpins and combs should be comfortable; you should not take those that put pressure on your head, scratch your skin and strongly pull your hair, otherwise a beautiful hairstyle and veil will become a real torment for you.
- Be sure to wear the accessory before the wedding, try different options and methods of fastening, spend a little time in order to evaluate how convenient and firmly the veil is attached.
- Think about how long you will be wearing the Spanish flu to determine how strong the fastening will be needed.
- If you want to wear your hair down, then remember that part of it can be gathered at the back of your head, which will make attaching the mantilla much easier.
If you adhere to these rules, as well as choose the right hairstyle and the ideal style of the Spanish mantilla, then at your celebration you will definitely become a real star.

Mantilla
This is a long veil with beautiful lace trim. Most of all, it suits light and delicate hairstyles. They fasten it discreetly with an invisible pin or a hairpin.
Veil
A short veil covering the face. A white dense mesh usually comes out of a cap, large flower or brooch. Hairstyles with such a veil are often chosen by mature, experienced ladies.
Such an accessory does not need other decor in the form of lace, tiaras and other bright elements. But you will have to support the theme - a colored veil is combined with embroidery, a belt on a dress or matching shoes.
This is a single piece of thin and airy fabric with patterns along the edges. With such an exquisite veil, the bride will look elegant, feminine and sophisticated. The hairstyle for such a veil is done in the European style. The accessory itself is placed under the hair or on top.
Ideal for curls or curls, crowns or tiaras. A two-tiered veil is used for weddings when you need to cover your face. It is best to attach the accessory to the top of the head or in the center of the hairstyle.

Girls with thick hair will not find it difficult to choose a look - there are many different styles for this. Greek hairstyles, curls, buns, braids, ponytails and buns. The veil is attached to the back of the head or in the crown area - the method of attachment depends on the style of the hairstyle itself.
Those with medium length hair also have a huge choice. We recommend curls for mischievous and cheerful ladies. A strict and sophisticated image is ideally emphasized by smooth Hollywood waves, a shell or a bun. Curls in the temple area will make the look more delicate, and complex plaits and braids will attract all eyes. If you love retro, take a closer look at the cold waves from the 20s or the babette with a veil.
Wedding hairstyles with a veil for a short haircut have a lot of variations:
- High bouffant haircut;
- Hair styling back;
- “Feathers” from strands sprinkled with varnish or spray;
- Hollywood Waves;
- Curls on the parietal area;
- Carelessly styled curls.
You can also pin a long chignon to match your hair color.
A hairstyle with bangs and a veil decorates a lady’s appearance—it makes the face look younger and hides a high forehead. Asymmetrical bangs must be combined with curls and a side braid. In this case, the veil should be of medium length. As for straight bangs, they need to be treated with a straightener and varnish. This shape will suit a high gathered hairstyle with a multi-tiered veil.
This is one of the oldest and most beautiful decorations. Since ancient times, only royalty wore it. Now everything has changed, because a luxurious accessory is available to any bride. The crown is decorated with sea pearls and precious or semi-precious stones, beaded beads and shining rhinestones. The richer the crown itself, the more elegant the veil and the more laconic the hairstyle - remember this fact. Hairstyles with a crown are suitable for long and medium hair, as they look great when loose.
Hairstyles with veil and jewelry
On collected hair, the veil is attached to the crown or in the back of the head, so it is advisable to choose combs, hairpins or brooches for it. Any of these elements must be combined with the dress in both color and decor. Options with a tiara are in particular demand now. They look simply gorgeous and make the bride feel like a princess. The tiara will suit any style of dress - narrow, fluffy and fishnet. They are often decorated with pearls, rhinestones, stones and Swarovski crystals.
Jewelry looks great on any hairstyle, but ideally it will be bobtails, ponytails, babettes or curls on loose hair. The main thing is that the tiara, comb or hairpin does not fall off or put pressure.
High styling with a veil looks royal. This is the best option for fluffy and train-length dresses with luxurious, expensive decor. The veil should also be long and quite voluminous.
Oriental style jewelry is ideal for mysterious enchantresses. They look great with loose and slightly tousled curls or with a sleek hairstyle. The oriental accessory is usually worn on the forehead. But, as a rule, a veil is attached to the back.
You can put a low and curled ponytail or a beautiful braid on the side. Such complex hairstyles will be decorated with a no-frills veil, because the more elaborate the styling, the simpler the headdress.
Wedding hairstyles with flowing strands
Loose hair fits perfectly under a cape and mantilla. Drawn over the strands, the veil looks airy and makes the look more delicate. The main thing is that the length completely covers the hair. For long hair with a backcomb, a fluffy shoulder-length veil can also be suitable.
By choosing this option, take care of the health and appearance of your hair. Take a course of moisturizing treatments in advance and treat the ends, otherwise your hairstyle will not be very neat. Loose hair can be straightened, curled, or made into a curl. You can also pin the strands on one side - playful and sexy.
Hairstyles with fresh flowers are a real trend of the season. Roses or orchids decorating the strands make the bride look like a fairy. You can decorate your veil with one huge flower, or you can weave a wreath. Florists recommend choosing flowers for your eyes:
- Brown - roses (yellow or red);
- Blue – pink orchids;
- Green - light green lilies.
Braided hairstyles are gorgeous! A universal option that will definitely suit any newlywed look. The braid is often braided on its side, decorated with flowers or a long string of beads, thrown over the top, imitating a wreath, braided into a fishtail or a loose braid...
Pretentious and unusual! Hairstyles in the Greek style are done on long strands. First you need to curl them, and then put them either in a kind of bun or a bun with a bandage.
How to avoid mistakes when creating styling?
When choosing a hairstyle with a veil, try to avoid these terrible mistakes:
- You should not combine an intricate hairstyle with an abundance of details and an equally complex veil. It will turn out very flashy! Stop at one thing - either a rich veil and a very simple hairstyle, or an elaborate hairstyle and a simple accessory.
- A very heavy veil. A long, multi-tiered accessory looks simply luxurious, but due to its heavy weight, it can cause a lot of different inconveniences to the bride.
- The veil should not cover the work of a professional, so for beautiful, majestic hairstyles, take a simpler option.
- Incorrect fastening of the wedding veil. Be sure to check how the veil is secured - it should not put pressure or tighten the skin. Give preference to separate fastening with studs.
- Remember, a full veil can create volume, which may not suit everyone. Thus, a tall bride with a voluminous hairstyle and a veil attached to the top of her head will look even taller.
