The veil is considered to be the invariable attribute of the bride, which is the personification of purity and at the same time a decorative element that gives her appearance a special femininity. A veil is just as important as a dress, a wedding ring and a bouquet, so you need to be able to fix it on your hair so that it looks perfect.
Fixation methods
To make the veil look beautiful and stylish, you need to take into account the length of the hair and the hairstyle on which it will be held. In addition, the accessory is of different types:
- There is a standard veil, which is 80 cm in length;
- short version of the accessory within 60 cm;
- a long veil can reach 110 cm or more when it comes to a train.
The shape of the product is chosen to taste or in accordance with the style of the dress, so it can be in the form of a rectangle, oval, circle or square. The fabric from which it is made is also different - lace, tulle, silk, organza. And this is not all - the decoration is sometimes additionally decorated with ribbons, flowers, original lace inserts. The veil itself does not have any locks, which is why the girls have to figure out for themselves how to attach it to the hairstyle.
In different versions, the following fastening elements can help in this:
- based on the general style, small bright and transparent hairpins in the form of small flowers, invisibility, hairpins, both simple and decorated with beads, flowers and other decorative elements, are suitable for fixing the accessory;
- rims, hoops are also able to fix elegant fabric, tiaras are a classic option and will ideally combine with plain tulle or silk material;
- if, in addition to the veil, the use of a light hat or wreath is supposed, you can fix it directly to them;
- many brides try to do without a scallop that traditionally holds the accessory, but today this product has already transformed into a beautiful, and sometimes unusual hair ornament, which will also suit the beautiful image of the bride.
Of course, choosing a mount, it is necessary that it is combined with hair styling and a dress.
Accessory Types
Depending on the type of veil, the mount may be different.
Consider all the options.
- Graceful girls with a slim figure can quite afford to use a short accessory, practically weightless, for which a pair of hairpins is suitable. To do this, the fabric is carefully sewn to the hairpin with thin white threads, and then fixed on the hair.
- Ordinary invisibles can stab a short veil, or use hairpins decorated with feathers, flowers, and the diadem is also suitable as a lock for this option.
- Fata-Spaniard just throws herself on her head and over the whole area is attached with ordinary hairpins to the lace holes. As well as a mantilla, you can pin it with invisibility near the ears or by putting on a wreath of small light roses.
- A fashionable option for using a wedding attribute is “Juliet's hat”, when the veil wraps around the head and gathers in a knot at the back - it can be fixed with an elastic band, a hair clip with flowers or a beautiful ornament.
- Another fashion trend is a narrow veil, consisting of one layer of material. For this, it is necessary that the hair be raised up or pulled into a classic bun so that the fabric fits under it. To hold it, it is fixed with a few studs.
- It will be difficult to fix a lush and long veil with invisibles and even hairpins, therefore it is better to use a scallop, wrapping a strip of material on its upper part, passing it between the cloves. Then an accessory is sewn to it.
Styling options
A beautiful veil is that element that goes well with both long and short hair, with pigtails and buns. However, you need to try so that the hairpins and hairpins are not noticeable, unless they play the role of additional decoration.
Sometimes girls want not to put their hair in a complicated hairstyle at all, but to look as natural as possible. Consider how to wear a wedding accessory to hold it.
Step-by-step instructions will help to cope with this task:
- first you need to comb your hair, as planned, and lay the curls;
- then protect them from static electricity using a conventional tool that is used for clothing;
- then you should braid on the crown a thick pigtail along the entire length of the hairstyle;
- attach a veil to the top of the braid with a comb or several spiral pins that will hold it more securely, but it can also be a hairpin, diadem or rim to which you can sew the material.
In the case of long hair that is not laid in a specific hairstyle, you can use a hat that will do a great job of fixing the loop.
If the bride has short hair, she, too, may be puzzled by the question of how to strengthen the veil and make it so that it does not fly off the head at the most crucial moment.
It turns out that this is also not a problem, but you need an easy, short and single-layer version of the veil.
You can do this as follows:
- it will be necessary to choose a place of attachment and in this area make a small fleece, and pull the lock into a small tail a little lower;
- hair in this place must be generously varnished and allowed to dry;
- after that, the veil is fixed over the tied tail without any difficulties and is fixed with invisible or studs.
For too short hair, for example, a youth or sports haircut, it makes sense to use a diadem or a rim that will hold the veil perfectly, and for a short caret, a wedding veil in combination with a light hat is ideal.
