Which bridal veil suits my hairstyle?

Tips for veil attachment & wonderful alternatives to the bridal veil in the hair

Are you planning your wedding hairstyle and wondering which hairstyle goes with which veil? Or how to properly attach your bridal veil without covering it up? In this article, you'll find styling tips, attachment options—and an elegant alternative to the veil: our bridal capes.

The choice of hairstyle often depends on the style of the veil. But always remember: You are and will always be the bride, who makes her own rules. All of the following tips are merely recommendations. There is fundamentally no right or wrong.
Here are some popular combinations:

Long veils (e.g.B. Cathedral veil)

  • Ideal for updos or low buns
  • Look particularly noble & romantic
  • Can be easily attached to the back of the head or above the bun

Short veils (e.g.B. Shoulder length, Blusher)

  • Perfect for open hair, half-up or braided hairstyles
  • Light & modern – ideal for outdoor weddings or garden weddings
  • Are usually placed in the middle of the back of the head

But if you don't want to cover up your hairstyle, our bridal capes are just the thing for you. A wonderful alternative to a bridal veil worn in your hair.

Our bridal capes are:

  • worn as a filigree chain over the shoulders or
  • attached to the straps of the wedding dress

This way, your hairstyle remains visible – while still adding a special, flowing detail to your look. Ideal for modern brides who love style and simplicity.


 

How do I attach my bridal veil correctly?

A veil is usually attached with a built-in comb or clip. To ensure it stays in place, it's important that:

  • The hairstyle offers enough structure and hold (e.g.B. using hairspray, mini braids or hair pillows)
  • The veil should be integrated by the stylist if possible – so it stays where it belongs all day

And at what height is the veil attached to the hair?

The position of the veil can define your bridal look. These variations are particularly popular:

  • Above the (low) bun / on the top of the head → for an elegant look
  • Directly at the back of the head / in the middle → modern, discreet, goes with almost any dress
  • Deep in the neck → looks particularly elegant, especially with long veils
