How to wear a veil

Heather, on August 8, 2019 at 8:06 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 7
Hi Ladies- just picked up my dress but needs a lot of altering. I went with a fingertip veil that will likely be fastened under an bun or somewhere on the back of my head. It hangs down my back. One of the ladies at the bridal shop pulled the edges over my shoulders and said that it should be worn covering the shoulders for the ceremony. However, she seemed to be clueless on some other things. Attached are some pics to demonstrate to which I'm referring. What is the best/proper/prettiest way to wear it for the ceremony.

    You can wear it either way, it’s really just preference.

    I've never heard that before, either. Wear the veil whichever way makes you more comfortable!

    It's your preference and also depends on the style of your hair that day. If you are going to wear your hair up like you have it done in the photo's than you would typically wear it below the bun for the modern look. Traditional would have the veil over the bun, almost at the crest of your skull but that can look a bit dated on some brides. If you are going to wear your hair half-up then you would wear the veil in the portion that is being secured at the back of your head, about halfway between modern (low) and traditional (high and forward). Will you also be wearing a blusher (the piece that goes over your face)?

    The old-fashioned, traditional way is to wear it over your shoulders because your arms and shoulders were supposed to be covered, but that's out-dated, and you should just wear it how you like. I think it looks really nice the way you have it under the bun.
