Veil Switch Out

I think that's pretty common. Your hair stylist should be able to instruct you and/or whoever will assist you on how to best do it. You could also wear the pins or comb with your veil so the veil just needs to be removed.

I did something similar! I had a veil for the ceremony and a headband for the reception. Whoever is switching them out just needs to be very careful and go slow, so it doesn't pull your hair.

Yeah, definitely just ask your stylist to show your MOH or whomever how to best do that, and you'll be fine.

Could you do both? That's what I did. I wore a flower crown with a veil during the pictures and ceremony and then removed the veil after the ceremony and just had my flower crown.

I think most brides do something like this, anyway, but I definitely understand where you're coming from because short hair and braids are a tricky combo to keep looking neat, whereas it's much easier to keep a braided hairstyle put together with long hair. Your stylist should be able to help you, that is if you plan to have a stylist. Either way, someone should be able to help you have a seamless transition! And I think the pins or comb would distract from any imperfections, should there be any.

Definitely talk to your stylist. A lot of brides take their veil out for the reception so that shouldn't be an issue and I would think that would be the difficult part. Placing a hair comb is just a matter of getting it in place.

Thanks ladies! I'm planning on doing my own hair but I'm sure my mom, MOH, or one of my bridesmaids can help with the transition. FH might even be able to help, he likes playing around with my hair. 😆

My cousin wore a tiara that had little clips (looked like a necklace clasp) to attach the veil part, and then took the veil off for the reception. Maybe you can find a way to clip the veil to the flower comb and then just detach the veil from the comb instead of taking anything out of your hair and worrying about messing it up. Just depends how heavy/long your veil is.
