Veils with low updos

Steph N., on November 4, 2017 at 4:45 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 16

My dress and veil came in today! Yayyyyy! I tried the dress on at home and love it all over again.

I had started having regrets about my veil because when I tried it on at the store my hair was down, and the consultant stuck it really high on my head. So the pictures look...eh. At home today I threw my hair in a messy bun and stuck the veil on and it looks SO much better!

My question though - do you all like the veil over the bun or coming out from under it? I'll be doing a low updo, so no veil stuck on top of my head. I'm curious what others like, have done, or are doing though.

Pics if you have them!

    I had mine tucked under so that you could actually see the updo I paid $100 for. I really liked how it looked :-)

    I did a veil with a low-ish bun, and had the veil over it. I loved it. I tried messing around with different looks before the wedding, and for my own head shape it looked and felt kinda weird to have the veil under the bun. But that's just me!

    I did over the bun. I don't have a lot of pics yet but you can kinda see the idea here.

    I had a braided low-do(??) and a veil. I loved it.

    I need to make the same decision! Right now I'm leaning toward having the veil come out from above my hair.

    I had a low updo with the veil on top. I really dislike it coming out from the bottom. But that's just me.

    I took the veil off after cocktail hour because it kept snagging on my dress. Original plan was take it off after the father daughter dance.

    Thanks for the pics! I'm liking the over look.

    When you took your veils off, did you replace with a hair comb or something? I've been keeping an eye out for a comb or hairpiece I like, cause I feel like I'll want *something* in my hair all night.

    Also MusicTeacher I'm super jealous of how well you rock bangs! I love bangs - on other people. I've tried them a few times in my life and it's just never good lol.

    I had a sparkly headband. So I didn't swap my veil out with anything. I found a better photo. You can see the veil and headband here.

    I bought a comb off of Etsy that I'll throw in when I take my veil off. I'm in the same boat, I wanted something in my hair the whole time

    Haha thanks Steph! I have only grown my bangs out once since childhood and I just don't feel the same without them!

    I actually kept my veil on all night (it only went to my elbows). However I like your idea of replacing it with a comb! When we were greeting family, the veil got annoying with people hugging me and pulling on it accidentally!
