How to wear a veil with my hair down
Posted: Jun 16, 2007 3:21 PM

Hello :)  This is my first post.

I want to wear my hair down in curls and still wear a veil.  Most veils I have seen attach with a comb.  Is it possible to still wear a veil with my hair down?  How would I go about this?

(If anyone remembers how Jennifer Aniston wore her hair on her wedding, I would love something like that.)

Thanks in advance for all the help.

I've seen pictures of women with veils and long, loose curls. I'd planned on doing that until we set an August date. August in North Carolina means no hair down. But I'd talk to your hairstylist and see what s/he can do. Also try talking with the people you're buying your veil from. They might have some ideas about how you could do it.

When you go to the bridal salon and try on veils the employees are very helpful in telling you where to put your veil.  You can always play around with it.  I'm also planning to have my hair down with a veil and found that with my style it would be placed on the top of my head.

This is also very pretty, just another idea. She took it off for the reception

MrsEnck,

 it looks like Jennifer Anniston just tucked the comb in at the back of her head... I would suggest having the comb part point down (toward your neck) and then use bobby pins, going cross-wise for extra security.  If you do your hair a bit curlier than Anniston, it should be easy to get the comb/veil to stay.  Then I'd just assign a bridesmaid to veil-watch... you can always touch it up after the ceremony and before the reception.  My sister wore her hair completely down and straight, with a little bit of a pomp and her veil stayed in great... Granted she did go to a salon, but with a little luck you should be able to get the salon-style tresses without the priciness. 


Love is a time-honored way to transcend all else and LEAP into the sublime...

I had found a great article on how to keep them in place, but now I cannot seem to find it.  One of the ideas was to lift up a section of hair, then put a small french braid across the top of your head, back comb the hair just a lil, then smooth down on top of the braid, then insert the veil into the braid.  They said this was the best way to keep it in all day.  Another was to lift the hair, put in a very small ponytail, then smooth it all back over again, then insert into the top of the pony.  Good luck!

What part of NC?  I'm right near Asheville, and am having an outdoor wedding with my hair down.  No veil, though.

 

I love that pic of Jennifer A.

I realize this is an old thread, but for anyone looking for ways to wear a veil with your hair down:

I've read that you should create two small pincurls to help hold the veil in place. (You wouldn't be able to see them since the veil would cover them up.)

This site (http://www.theflirtybride.com/faq.html) has an illustration at the very bottom to show you how.
