Wedding hairstyles with a veil

Hairstyle is an important part of the image of the bride. How to style and decorate your hair before one of the main events in life should be taken with all responsibility. There are a huge number of options for different lengths of strands and face shapes.


What to consider when choosing a bridal hairstyle?
One of the main requirements for styling is that it suits its owner. In the case of a wedding, the final result will be affected by:
- a haircut;
- hair quality;
- the presence of a veil or other decoration in the hair;
- wedding dress style.
It is obvious that for a girl with a short haircut “under the boy” it will not be possible to make a puffy hairstyle from curls, and a typical wedding dress with a puffy skirt will not harmonize with ponytail styling.


You need to carefully choose the version of the veil, which should match the type of face. Thanks to the competent choice of this jewelry, you can emphasize the beauty of the styled hair and the dignity of the girl’s face, hiding the existing flaws in her appearance.
- For a round-faced bride, a veil that reaches the shoulders is suitable. In this case, it is better if the hair is picked up. With loose hair and a lush veil, the face may seem larger than it is.


- With a square type face, a veil to the elbow or to the shoulders should be preferred. Hairstyle should be lush.


- With an oval, any veil will be good. It is only important to carefully consider the hairstyle, ensuring that it does not make the face “heavier”.


- In a face that has the shape of an elongated oval, an excessive elongation will help to compensate for a short or medium length veil that has a magnificent shape, for example, consisting of several tiers.


- With a triangular type of face, a wedding decoration that reaches shoulder level or lush and short will make it possible to hide a wide forehead.


- A rectangular face needs to be made visually wider. This will help to achieve a curvaceous veil. There is no need to opt for a high hairstyle. It is better to give preference to loose hair in curls.
- For a cheeky face, you can choose a long veil in one or more layers.


Of great importance for the impression of styling on the head is the shape of the girl’s bangs (if any). Here you also need to take into account the type of face.
If the bride has bangs, this moment can be beaten in creating a wedding look. It has been noticed that in the presence of such an element in a haircut, when forming a wedding hairstyle, various devices for fixing and decorating hair fit perfectly into it — combs, wreaths, tiaras.
Haircut with bangs can go well with a veil. If the bangs are quite long, it can be laid in one way or another. For example, curl with a curling iron, weave into the total mass of hair or place it on its side. Such a bang allows the main part of it to be lifted up, leaving a few curled strands on the forehead.
If you focus on the type of face, you need to keep in mind that a round face does not imply a short bang. In this case, it is better that it be of an elongated type and combed to the side. The same principle must be followed by those girls whose face is triangular or has the shape of a heart (a kind of high cheekbones).
Suitable styling for shoulder length
Shoulder-length hair is very common among girls today. There are a lot of interesting wedding hairstyles for medium hair with and without a veil, with and without bangs.
Shoulder-length hair allows you to make beautiful curls that go very well with a veil. The image is tender and romantic. The veil should be fixed on the top of the head with invisibility (although a diadem is also suitable).
Hairstyle can be supplemented with interesting weaving. It harmonizes with loose curls.


If, when forming a hairstyle in combination with a veil, curls are picked up, the image of the bride will be especially graceful.
It should be noted that this option is only suitable for slender girls with a beautiful neck.

A beam in one version or another will help to achieve the desired effect. Decoration is carried out in the Greek style or babetto. The veil should be placed behind the crown, closer to the crown of the head, where the decoration is decorated with weaving. Owners of a beautiful forehead can emphasize the dignity of the face with a hairstyle without bangs. Attention will focus on the expressive eyes of the bride. So that the image of the bride does not seem boring, it is better not to make her hair smooth. Original options for weaving over the forehead, bouffants or other options for raising hair will help here.
Strict-type styling can be softened by strands released from it, falling on the sides of the face.
Another idea for a wedding is a ponytail. If you decorate it with pearl beads or an openwork ribbon, you get an interesting “hair structure” in the spirit of cartoon princesses. It is easy to make a hairstyle for medium hair, giving it splendor and decorating it with a headband or decorative bandage, securing it with a hairpin.
Medium hair is easy to work with. It is easier to make a wedding hairstyle on them than on long curls. The result will be just as luxurious.

Hairstyle ideas for different styles
To create an appearance in a romantic spirit, it makes sense to choose a hairstyle with braids. There are a lot of weaving options, the braids will be able to hold well and the hair will not be disheveled in a day. The average length allows you to create a hairdressing masterpiece from a large number of braids and buns, spikelets, “scattered” all over the head.
When creating a volume effect, tight braids are often not used. Options with a weak weave allow you to slightly pull the hair out of the braids so that the hairstyle acquires more volume and complements the overall shape. Braids make it possible to decorate various curly elements, for example, flower buds. In the hairstyle, such accents look impressive.
When using weaving, part of the hair can be left free by twisting it with a curling iron. This will add volume and increase the shape.
You can also take into service the achievements of the ancient Greeks in the design of hair for a particular occasion. If you make a wreath or a crown on your head out of a braid, complete the styling, then in combination with a dress made of flowing fabric, you can get the look of a bride in the spirit of Greek myths.
To create an image in the Greek style, you need to select the design option for the knot in the Greek manner. It can be placed high or lowered closer to the neck. The hair is parted with a straight parting, and the bundle is wrapped around with a thin ribbon or a pigtail from its strands. The image created in this way looks noble.

To create a retro styling, long bangs can be styled with a wave at the temple, and the main part of the hair can be removed in an elegant shell. If you add it with an openwork wedding hair ornament, the bride will look gentle, fragile and mysterious.

Medium length hair allows you to create an image with fresh flowers. They can be inserted into the hair, decorated with a wreath, combined with knots and braids. Depending on the desired effect, the creation of, for example, a country style or a classic hair style is achieved.

For the classics, it is good to style the strands in the form of a babette hairstyle, which is unlikely to ever come out of a wedding styling set. Even owners of thin hair will look luxurious when using this option. The voluminous bump-bun can be placed high or low, giving elegance to the bride.

We select accessories
Accessories expand the possibilities of hair styling for a wedding, allowing you to give them a special grace and shine. In addition, using such things, you can compensate for figure flaws and achieve a harmonious combination of styling with a wedding dress.
In addition to flowers, ribbons, tiaras and veils, a wreath can be used to decorate feathers and hoops, rhinestones and combs, veils and mini-hats of various kinds.
- In the case of using a diadem, experts advise not to choose hairstyles with curls. In them, this element of decor will be lost. On smoothly combed hair, she will shine with a princess crown.
- When using flowers in the hairstyle, they should echo the bouquet in the hands of the bride.
- The veil itself is a great addition to the look, so trying to use frilly additional decorations in styling can make a girl look funny. The issue of additional decorations in this case must be treated extremely responsibly.
- For a lush hairstyle, no accessories are required if the hair styling is solved in an unusual way.


- When the bride’s dress is shiny, with a lot of bright decorative elements, equally bright decorations are out of place in the hair. This will add excess to the image and make it tasteless.
- For medium hair with bangs, it is suitable to use hoops with pearl or floral decorations in the hair. They go especially well with Greek braids.
Fashion trends
Feminine and comfortable hairstyles are trendy these days when it comes to creating a bridal look.
A girl who uses a knot of hair in styling will not look like a girl who is behind the fashion trends, releasing graceful strands on the sides.


Openwork braids of various weaving options will also be in theme, as well as time-tested curls. It is relevant to make hair styling in large waves, in the manner of those that could be seen in actresses of silent black-and-white films.


Ribbons, bows, hoops and other elements that emphasize the overall style also remain in fashion.


As for hair color, it is preferable that it be natural shades. Copper, light brown, chestnut, with honey and caramel hues — all this is relevant today.
Coloring, or a smooth transition of hair color to another (ombre) — should not be evident. It is necessary to ensure that the hair seems natural, as if their owner had been under the sun for a long time. The blond, which until recently a huge number of girls so aspired to, requires more naturalness — a linen shade or the color of white honey.
No yellowness or blueness in the shade, but a natural pearly sheen.


The process of coloring with stencils is still in fashion. Great interest in “pixelated” hair and coloring across the strands, where the color transitions are sharp.
It is advisable to take care of hair color long before the wedding date. It will be a shame to do the coloring the day before and be disappointed. This can spoil the mood during the celebration.
Spectacular images
Large curls, fixed with hairpins so that the hair is picked up at the back, plus an addition in the form of a beautiful hairpin and earrings, will make the owner of blond hair in a bridesmaid dress simply charming. A few thin strands that come out of the hairstyle on the sides will give a little “artistic mess” to the hair.

The luxury and richness of the hair will be emphasized by the styling of curls. To create it, you can use one or another version of weaving from braids or simply style your hair with elegant rings. Additions in the form of openwork tacks can complete a delicate and sophisticated look.

In a hairstyle with selected hair, curly elements should be made from curls or flowers should be formed from curls. It will look especially bright if individual strands are colored. Proper use of hairpins and hairpins will complete the look.

To create a wonderful hairstyle from shoulder-length hair, it is enough to use a few hairpins and a wide hairpin with an openwork decoration. With their help, you can achieve the impression of the richness of the hair.

Small floral decorations will make medium-length hair styling with a bouffant or chignon very attractive. In combination with a richly embroidered dress, this styling will look perfect.


Crown hair and side bangs look great paired with a veil. Jewelry made of translucent white flowers and strings of small pearls create an optimistic impression with a hint of romanticism and tenderness.

Hairstyle for medium hair can be decorated with fresh flowers. The white veil in this case creates a contrast with red roses. Such styling will look elegant, elegant and gentle.

The “shell” option will become very sophisticated. Clear lines of strands emphasize the richness of the hair and the quality of their coloring. Such styling certainly should not be hidden under a veil.


A wreath of natural flowers in combination with fluffy, slightly disheveled curled hair will add lightness, naivety, and youthful refinement to the image of the bride.


Hair gathered in a bundle with several strands released in front goes well with a veil, secured with an expensive hairpin. This hairstyle is equally elegant and comfortable.
