According to ancient beliefs, the veil protected the bride from evil forces, so the girl was wrapped from head to toe in a translucent veil. Initially, the most expensive fabrics were used to make this part of the wedding dress, and only wealthy ladies could afford such an element. A modern veil is available to everyone, but to choose the right option, you should listen to some recommendations. For short dresses, you should choose hairstyles with a short veil.

Any hairstyle can be combined with it, and in order to choose your own, unique one from all their variety, sometimes one glance is enough.
Large flowers
Flowers are a traditional wedding decoration. The founders of weddings not only decorate the hall, arches for painting, and wedding processions with them. The images of brides often also echo the floral motifs of the celebration. Beautiful larger buds attached to the veil beautifully frame the girl’s festive hairstyle and make her face more delicate and girlish.
For those who prefer discreet, minimalistic accessories, stylists recommend paying attention to veils with small floral scatterings.
Hairstyles with veils
Not every veil will look great in symbiosis with the bride's hairstyle.
Hairdressers and stylists give some recommendations on this matter:
- short haircuts . It is appropriate to give preference to a veil with a short veil, which are attached to the back of the head and visually create the impression of a short veil. You shouldn’t decorate with massive decorations; it’s better to stick to small flowers, bows, and shiny elements. A veil with a hat in the style of an English queen with a mesh that covers the forehead is also suitable.

- shoulder-length hair . If the bride decided to curl her curls and leave them loose, then an English veil with drapery and feathers, which is secured to the side, will be a beautiful addition. You can also choose a veil with large bud flowers.
- long hairstyles. Curled hair, loose or gathered in a ponytail, will be decorated with a flair in the Russian style, headbands with a veil, complemented by floral wreaths, satin ribbons, and bead decoration in the form of a brooch, which serves as a fastener for tulle drapery. Floral veil arrangements are also suitable. But you should be careful not to overdo it and create an awkward flowerbed on your head.
- shells, bunches . The length of the mesh can be either short or long to the chin. A veil with decoration in the form of an elven branch attached to the side looks beautiful. You can also use a comb with tulle, which will not only highlight the bride, but also serve as a strengthening hairstyle.
Curls.
A spectacular hairstyle can be achieved if you wrap your hair in curlers on the top of your head, collect the rest of your hair in a bun and secure the hairstyle with hairspray and bobby pins. Then the curls are carefully straightened. They can remain near the face, framing it, or they can be pinned back. Now the last addition is the veil.
Careless natural curls are a very advantageous hairstyle option with a veil. You will need a curling iron, hairspray, comb, beautiful hairpins and a veil. Curls can be created using curling irons with large attachments to give more naturalness. You don't need a lot of varnish to fix it: a light sprinkling is enough. You can make curls with a curling iron, selecting strands of hair and twisting them back. The next step is to secure the perfect hairstyle with hairpins and attach the veil.
