Veil Over or Under the Bun?

Hi, I have a cathedral veil that my future mother-in-law has asked me to wear. It's the same one she wore nearly 50 years ago for her own wedding. Now the question is, how to wear it? Normally, I wouldn't have picked a cathedral veil but this is a really special request. I am getting really excited...

Normally, I wouldn't have picked a cathedral veil but this is a really special request. I am getting really excited about it, but would you wear it over the bun or under?

    Talk with your hair stylist and see what options she gives you not only for the veil but overall to ensure that the option you pick is for your vision. We can all tell you our preference but honestly only you can decide what way is best for you, your special day, and your overall appearance.

    What kind of bun are you having? is it higher, or lower? if its higher set i would definitely do under, but with a lower bun you could really do either or. i think a veil like that would look so elegant over the bun if its lower.

    you could always try both! your hair stylist should know how to attach it properly either way Smiley smile

    I think it really depends how you plan to wear your hair. If the bun is higher on your head wear under but if its lower then wear over

    I personally do not like the under the bun style, but maybe you could try it out both ways and see what you personally like best, as it is going to be you who's wearing it Smiley smile

    Have you settled on a kind of bun?

    Cathedral veils are my favorite! I think you should try both ways and see what you like. Either way you can't go wrong.

    I love veils to sit up high on the head, over the bun/updo. I always thought it looked strange to have the veil placed low on the head, under the bun.
