Wedding hairstyles with and without a veil

Wedding hairstyles with a veil can be done for any hair length. The veil gives a special charm to the bride's image. Makes him sweet, gentle and innocent.

When creating a fashionable hairstyle, you need to first think about how the veil will be secured, and also take into account its pomp and length. Don’t forget that your hairstyle should also be in harmony with your wedding dress; photos of fashionable models can be seen in other articles.

Wedding hairstyles with veils come in a variety of styles. Strict and clear lines are allowed, or, on the contrary, a cheerful scattering of ringlets and curls. Very often, many brides prefer high hairstyles. Their advantage is that they flirtatiously expose the neck and shoulders. The veil is usually attached from the bottom of the resulting bun, less often from the top. Often, a diadem or tiara, decorative hairpins and flowers are used as an addition to the veil.

Despite the fact that the veil is a symbol of the wedding ceremony, most modern beauties refuse it. There are reasons for this. Now there are many complex weaves that can be used in a wedding hairstyle. Some of them are a real work of art, which in itself is a decoration for the bride.

Large flowers, rhinestones, pearls, tiaras, headbands, combs, wreaths, silk ribbons, lace and much more can be used as decorations. Cute hats or veils are also often used, adding mystery to any bride.

Wedding hairstyles without a veil are suitable for many fashionable wedding looks: “vintage”, “Greek style”, “romantic minimalism”, “Chicago”.

Wedding hairstyles without a veil are very popular with girls who prefer light looks that are not imposed by stereotypes.

Wedding veil on headbands

This decoration is considered girlish and is suitable for young brides. A headband with a veil will add playfulness to the look and refresh it. The fleur, which is collected on the headband, is decorated with feathers, plant branches, or strings of small beads. Brides pay attention to this option also because it is easy to do it yourself. Consequently, the image will be more unique, and the decoration will fit perfectly into even the most extravagant looks.

Style and types of veils

The veil, as a wardrobe detail, appeared in history quite a long time ago. This element of the female image was first mentioned since ancient times. However, it acquired the appearance of a classical style only in the Middle Ages. The veil had two main tasks:

• protective, where the main duty of the veil was to cover women’s heads from the influence of the sun’s rays;
• moral, preventing strangers from casting overly curious glances into the faces of ladies.

In ancient times, both sides of the issue had equal importance for ladies who valued themselves. The appearance and forms have undergone a sufficient number of changes throughout history. In modern stores you can see such types of veils as:

• long cut that completely covers the face. Usually attached to pillbox hats;
• a medium-sized piece can reach the bridge of the nose. Usually attached either to a hat or to a hairstyle using its own attachment. It is made in the style of a floral arrangement, which is considered a complete complement to the image;
• short models barely cover their eyes. The fastening is usually located on the back of the head using either pins or its own mechanism.

However, these decorations are distinguished not only by length, but also by other criteria. Secondly, factors such as color and fabric material are taken into account.

1. The first place in popularity is occupied by veils made of a rather rare material, namely a large mesh veil. They give the illusion of a closed image, and also allow the lady not to lose visual contact with the outside world. This version of the veil is relevant for any type of wedding.
2. In second place in demand is a veil with a finer mesh. It adds mystery to the girl’s image, slightly erasing her facial features and visually blurring them from a distance. This model is suitable for ladies with complexes about their facial features, as well as real flaws and imperfections. For example, those who have undergone recent surgery. This model will also appeal to sensitive and romantic people.

By color, the most popular types of veils are white and cream. Unconventional people sometimes prefer black colors. Particularly relevant is a model with a black mesh in a Modern or Retro style. The image of a bride with a black veil and a high-tech dress will be interesting. The black veil model is suitable for brunettes, being a visual continuation of the hairstyle. This element is considered an ideal decorative element of a wedding dress, which, at a certain length of the bride, replaces the veil.

English vintage style veil: a stylish element

This style traditionally uses a medium-length mesh, slightly covering the eye.

Particular care is recommended when decorating the model. One feather or flower is enough to make your image sparkle with new colors.

But if you miss the moment, even 2 petals can cause the bride to look vulgar. Some inventive and romantic brides decorate the veil with small pearls.

French retro style veil

In this style, the length of the veil either reaches the middle of the cheekbone or completely covers the face. The fastening is located either on the top of the head or on the side of the hairstyle. The veil model is attached either to the side of the hairstyle or on the top of the head. Suitable decorations are considered to be plant components made from the same material as the base of the veil. Additions such as pearls or ribbons are also allowed.

Russian romantic veil style

Despite attaching the model to the side of the hairstyle, the mesh completely covers the bride's face. The length of the veil is usually the same as in the English style. The only difference is that in this case a more luxurious type of decor is allowed. Many ladies decorate their veil with flowers of the same shade as the main tone of the decoration. Often the image is complemented with rhinestones, pearls and other similar decor.

For restraint and harmony, it is important not to overdo it with decorating the image.

Tips for choosing a hairstyle for a wedding dress

In order to correctly select and combine all the elements of the bride’s image, it would be useful to familiarize yourself with the advice of professional stylists. For example, it is not recommended to change your hair color immediately before a wedding. If suddenly the new image does not suit you, it will be extremely difficult to return to your former appearance. It is better to paint, highlight or color two weeks before the wedding. If the coloring unexpectedly turns out to be unsuccessful, you will have time to fix everything.

About a month before the wedding, experts recommend taking care of your hair. Use all kinds of oils and nourishing masks. Any haircut will look more impressive on well-groomed hair. You shouldn't get your hair cut before your wedding. The hair stylist who will help you choose your wedding hairstyle will remove excess hair where necessary. At the same time, the styling must be securely fixed in order to remain perfect throughout the wedding day.

To choose the best wedding hairstyle, pay attention to comfortable styles that will not hinder your movements. There is no need for discomfort on such an important day for you.

You should also choose the right jewelry wisely. The number of accessories should be balanced. You should not simultaneously decorate yourself with a veil, tiara, hat and hairpins with voluminous flowers. Choose one thing that will best highlight the style of your image.

Be sure to do a trial hairstyle to make sure you choose the right one. Ideally, evaluate the entire image in advance, the compatibility of the chosen styling and the wedding dress. If you don't like the hairstyle, you will have time to make the necessary adjustments. Be careful when choosing a specialist. Stylists say that styling hair on clean hair is much more difficult. Be prepared for the hairdresser to ask you to wash your hair the day before the wedding or the evening before the holiday.

By fabric and material texture

To choose a beautiful hairstyle for a wedding dress, you should take into account the material from which the dress is made. In this regard, stylists also have several simple recommendations. If you choose a satin dress with silk inserts, go for a hairstyle with smooth, shiny hair. Light chiffon will look perfect with a slightly casual, almost airy hairstyle. Lace and guipure dresses are interestingly combined with curls of different sizes.

Considering your face shape and hair length

How to choose the perfect hairstyle? First of all, you need to take into account the features of your face shape. To correct a square shape, you should lighten the strands framing your face slightly. This technique will help smooth out the angularity a little. In this case, a rounded hairstyle would be an excellent choice. The bangs should be given the shape of a semicircle. Experts advise choosing styles that involve the presence of strands on the face. Secure the veil to the back of your head with bobby pins.

Happy owners of oval-shaped faces can choose almost any hairstyle. To highlight your ideal shape, dye the strands around your face dark. In this case, to choose a suitable hairstyle, be guided by the style of the dress. If the bride has a heart-shaped face, the frontal part of her hair should be dyed a darker shade. Large curls at the bottom of the hairstyle will help balance the proportions and balance out a narrow chin.

Chubby beauties should choose a hairstyle in which the hair in the frontal area is colored in a lighter shade, and in the face – in a darker shade. There should not be much volume on the sides of the head. You should not make your bangs too long, and leave the parting on the side. For girls with long faces, stylists recommend lightening the strands near the cheeks and slightly darkening the hair in the frontal area. Long bangs with volume on the sides are suitable

To distract attention from a wide chin, create a full top of your hairstyle.

Scarf or bandana

These unusual solutions are chosen only by brave, risky girls or those whose traditional religion prohibits them from going outside with their heads uncovered.

A scarf is equivalent to a veil; in the East you can see wedding dresses in red, bright blue or green. The headscarf is often the same color as the dress or in light shades.

Combined styling

If you plan to decorate your hair for a wedding with a veil and tiara, then the main thing in this situation is to choose a suitable hairstyle. Voluminous wedding hairstyles with a tiara and veil will add more femininity to the bride's image. It is better if the styling is done in the form of a nice bun, babette, braid, curled into a ring, and the tiara is equipped with a comb. The decoration should be quite voluminous so as not to get lost in the hair. The style of the veil is also important so that there is no feeling of visual imbalance. When choosing a wedding accessory, you should remember the rule: the larger the decoration, the more modest and stricter the veil should be (one or two tiers or a veil).

A small accessory a la a crown will look good with long flowing hair or in the context of a sleek hairstyle for long hair. The curls should be large, beautifully styled, Hollywood-style, falling over the shoulders or raised. Numerous curls running along the perimeter of the entire head are unacceptable.

Decoration intended for decoration, loose curls or smooth styling should not be large and contain bright decorative elements (fresh flowers, feathers), as this will greatly overload the image. And also, do not oversaturate your hairstyle with other decorative elements. All accessories used must match the base color and style.

For those with curly hair, it is recommended to choose elegant tiaras. In a company with such decoration (without unnecessary decorative elements and visual massiveness), it is good to use a multi-tiered veil.

A Greek-style hairstyle, complemented by a tiara and veil, will add more romance to the bride’s wedding look.

Brides with bangs are advised to follow additional recommendations so as not to turn their hairstyle into bad taste. It is impossible to allow the decoration to end up on the hairline. To do this you need:

• constantly ensure that there is always a wide area of ​​hair between the frontal part and the decoration;
• arrange the bangs so that they do not interfere with the tiara;
• give preference to a narrow accessory that goes over the forehead.

The type of hairstyle is primarily determined by the length and thickness of the hair. You can braid your luxurious head of hair and then elegantly style it into a lush braid or create chic curls. Thin, medium-length hair looks neat in a fluffy bun or snail bun. To give the look a natural look, you should let a few curly strands out of your hair. The latter can be replaced with bangs.

A tiara for short hair is a rather difficult case, since a successful selection of an accessory can add expressiveness to the bride’s appearance, and in the case of an unsuccessful purchase, it can ruin it. In order for a short haircut to look harmonious with a tiara, the latter should not have large decorative inserts. The best option is a one-piece hoop, feronnieres and elegant chains.

A classic product for special occasions

An original hand-made veil will definitely diversify the look of both a very young and an adult fashionista. This model goes well with classic evening dresses, elegant blouses and formal trouser suits. That is why you can safely start making the accessory.

Necessary materials:

• Metal rim.
• Sharp scissors.
• Sewing pins.
• Glue.
• Veil (25x40 cm). It is worth noting that the splendor of the future veil depends on the length of this material.
• 50 cm satin ribbon.
• Decorative elements for finishing the accessory.

In order for the final result of the work done to exceed all expectations, you must adhere to the following sequence of actions:

• Initially, we iron the veil and remove all creases. It is best in this case to use a warm (not hot) iron. Only after this can you trim off the excess edges of the veil.
• Using a regular white thread, you need to gather one edge of the veil.
• It's time to prepare the headband. Using a satin ribbon, you need to cover it on both sides so that in the end it acquires a more neat and elegant look.
• We pin the veil onto the headband using sewing pins. It is best to start at a distance of 3 centimeters from the edge. Initially we pin along the edges, and only then we reach the middle. Don't be afraid that the length of the veil will be longer than the headband itself. Thanks to this, it will be possible to lay two volumetric folds at once.
• We attach the veil to the headband.
• Using a satin ribbon, you need to hide the place where the veil is attached. Do not forget that the thread must be carefully removed. The edges of the tape are carefully trimmed and fixed with glue.
• Pre-prepared decorations must be attached to the accessory using glue. In this case, you can show all your imagination.

At this point, the making of a feminine veil can be considered complete. All that remains is to choose a good outfit and you can safely go to a special event.

A gentle mystery

Headwear with a veil allows you to create chic looks in a retro style. It is generally accepted that the veil is in some way a replacement for the veil, which in the same way symbolizes the tenderness, mystery and purity of the bride.

Models where the veil is the main, but far from the only decorative element, look especially impressive. Additional decorations can include large buds, beads and feathers. A wedding cap with a veil will highlight the beauty of a straight-cut dress with an emphasis on the waist or a fishnet-style dress with a train.

To add a vintage style look, you should add long pearl beads, gloves and a retro hairstyle with large curls. Makeup should be moderate. For example, you can focus on your lips by painting them with red lipstick.

Veils or veils? Let's sum it up

So, wedding veils are a modern, sophisticated accessory. Such details add style, mystery, and romance to the image. A short veil goes equally well with sleek hairstyles, haircuts and long hair styles. This is perhaps the most feminine element of wedding decoration. With a hat, on a hairpin or on a headband, the veil will look advantageous. And most importantly, it will not only complement the bride’s image, but will also make it original and, of course, mysterious.

Beaded accessory: an elegant solution

A bride who wants to create a truly unique look should pay attention to a beaded bridal cap, embroidered with beads sparkling in the sun. This is the choice of a brave, confident girl who wants to emphasize her individuality and charisma.

In addition, the bride can choose a model that is entirely woven from beads. It will perfectly complement an openwork knitted wedding dress. As a rule, delicate shades of beads are used to create such accessories: white, gold, silver, as well as pearls for accent.

By the way, you can make many other interesting jewelry from beads. Here you can see interesting examples.

Wedding veil with hat

Many wedding stylists today focus on such decoration. In terms of color, the most relevant today are champagne, white, and milky options. The shape of the hat itself is selected based on the bride’s data, as well as her taste preferences. Stylists give the following recommendations:

• ladies with short stature should pay attention to a pillbox style hat;
• tall ladies can choose a wide-brimmed hat as decor, and place the decor in their area.

The most popular decorations for a hat with a veil are feathers, stones, pearls, and flower arrangements. Draping tulle in a lush style around the end of the hat will add an aristocratic look.

Stylist tips

If you decide to choose a bridal cap, then follow some recommendations:

• This accessory goes well with the most laconic outfit. It will look great in a duet with a straight-cut dress or, for example, a shirt dress.
• For a harmonious image, you need to choose the right hairstyle.
• For those with long and medium hair, it is best to curl large curls. Small curls, as well as straight hair, will look out of place in combination with such a headdress. And lush curls with an element of carelessness will create the missing volume.
• As for girls with short hair, they can choose almost any styling option.

Elegant bridal cap will suit almost every girl

It is only important when choosing a style to take into account the shape of the face:

• Any model will suit brides with an oval face, which is considered ideal.
• With a round face shape, choose a model made like a bandage with an asymmetrical decor.
• And girls with a triangular face shape wear hats that cover the line of the forehead, visually narrowing this part and balancing the proportions.
• Future spouses with a square face shape should choose models with smooth lines.

Hairstyle options for mother of the bride

The main unspoken rule is that the mother’s hairstyle should be combined with the bride’s hairstyle, the chosen wedding style, and maybe even the wedding date (autumn, spring).

Classic bun.

The classic evening hairstyle for the mother of the bride is a bun; it is elegant and reliable, allowing you to “forget” about the integrity of the hairstyle during the celebration. The bun can be secured at the back of the head; it will be a low bun. To create it you need hairpins and barrettes, you can buy beautiful clips and then the hairstyle will look especially solemn.

Volume bun with curls.

A suitable hairstyle for mother of the bride for long hair is a voluminous bun with curls. It can be secured both in the back of the head and on the top of the head. This hairstyle looks very romantic.

Suitable for women with curly long hair. You can curl your hair into large curls using curlers or curling irons.

Smooth bun.

A sleek bun would be a wonderful wedding hairstyle for the mother of the bride. But this hairstyle is more demanding on the woman’s makeup - it must be quite bright - and on accessories - bright, large earrings are perfect.

If you use beautiful hair accessories and glitter hairspray, the sleek bun will look very formal!

Hairstyles for mother of the bride for medium length hair

The average length of hair allows you to create a variety of hairstyles, the choice is large, so you need to focus on the form of styling that most suits the type of face of the mother of the bride.

Hairstyles that involve braiding are always in fashion, but they are most suitable for ladies with blond hair, since the braiding pattern is especially visible on light strands.

A fishtail braid with woven beads, decorative cords and rhinestones is especially suitable for a special wedding moment.

Ladies with dark hair can successfully highlight the beauty of their hair with an updo or a sleek bun.

Hairstyles for mother of the bride for long hair

Experimenting with wedding hairstyles will definitely bring a lot of fun if the mother of the bride has long hair.

The timeless classic hairstyle is the French Shell. Ladies with thick, long hair can afford to have the pleasure of doing it.

It was created only for special occasions and consists of many layers of twisted strands, so a daughter’s wedding is the best occasion for such a complex hairstyle.

The same effect can be achieved if you make the favorite hairstyle of girls from the 60s of the last century - “Babette”.

Weaving elements in hairstyles for long hair

Hairstyles that include braided elements will make the mother of the bride look younger.

An “Italian” braid or a “Snail” braid will allow you to present a woman’s décolleté area in a favorable light. It looks luxurious and casual, ideal for a wedding celebration.

A braid with original weaving, decorated with decorative flowers or stylish hairpins, will make the mother of the bride irresistible!

Those with very long hair can afford a flower braid. It is braided, starting with a side parting and ending at the back of the head, then the braid is wrapped around itself several times, fixing it at the back of the head.

Ladies with a round or full face will visually correct its shape if they do a Greek hairstyle. To create it you will need a headband, beautifully decorated with rhinestones, ribbons, flowers and beads.

Loose locks, well-groomed and curled into romantic ringlets, always look chic.

Several options for styling loose hair

1. Hollywood. To do this, you need to create voluminous curls from your hair using large curlers or curling irons; and then fix them.
2. Curls back. Hairstyles combed back or pulled into a ponytail look very formal. To achieve a beautiful hairstyle, you will need stylish hair accessories.
3. Smooth. This styling can be done on both short and long hair. The hair is simply combed back and, if the length allows, then gathered into a ponytail at the back of the head. Stylish miniature hairpins will look interesting.

Types of hats for the bride

A variety of styles will allow you to choose the option that suits you.

• Hats with veil . If you don’t want to completely deviate from tradition, then you can simply combine classic and modern accessories in one. Models of hats and veils can be completely different. With this combination, a multi-level veil of medium length is often chosen.
• “Vullets” are small headdresses decorated with a veil. This option will add a touch of mystery and mystery to the image.
• Wide-brimmed hats are suitable for both passionate and gentle romantic natures. This style is not sufficiently represented in the ready-made assortment of wedding salons, so, most likely, you will have to sew a hat to order.
• Top hats are an unusual solution for brave brides. This model is particularly sexy and even somewhat provocative.
• “Pills” is an echo of the vintage style of the 60s of the last century. Neat and small, they perfectly match the proportions of the head and give the image an aristocratic touch. They are usually worn slightly to the side or on the forehead.
• A cap framed with lace or a veil looks very original.
• The “nest” is a complete composition of feathers, rods, mesh and ribbons. As a rule, it is attached to the rim.
• "Flower" . This model is made in the form of a large flower with leaves.
• A cowboy hat will appeal to creative brides and is ideal for a Wild West-themed wedding. In combination with a traditional veil, such a headdress looks unusual and beautiful.

Select according to hair length

When choosing a hairstyle and accessory, it is important to consider the length of the bride’s hair. For example, a long tiara, distributed along the entire length of the hair, is not suitable for girls with short hair and medium-length curls, and a small decoration can get lost in a thick head of long hair

Several step-by-step master classes on creating hairstyles with tiaras for hair of different lengths are presented below.

Short hair

The choice of hairstyles for short hair is small, since it is hardly possible to create a voluminous ponytail with curls or an airy bun from short hair (unless you resort to using artificial strands).

Most often, as a wedding hairstyle for short hair, girls opt for neat, medium-sized airy curls.

It is important that the hair is not just curled, since this will cause the hairstyle to lose volume - you need to carefully comb and stretch the curl, making it more airy

Tiara tiaras with fastenings like a headband are suitable for such hairstyles.

Average length

Girls with medium-length hair find it much easier to decide on a hairstyle than those with short haircuts.

The most popular wedding hairstyle this season is the airy bun, which can be either low, medium or high - depending on the wishes of the bride. Creating this hairstyle is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance - you only need a few additional elements:

• hairpins;
• invisible;
• volumetric hair roller.

First you need to determine the height of the bun and, having separated part of the hair, tie a tight ponytail, then put a roller on it and secure it with bobby pins. The remaining part of the hair needs to be combed, creating root volume, and fixed next to the top of the roller.

Then you need to curl your loose hair using a thin or thick curling iron, stretch the curls, giving them airiness, and secure them with pins into the mesh surface of the roller

It is very important to use hairpins so that they are not visible in the hairstyle, then it will look not just neat and tidy, but also light and airy

Gradually you need to fix the loose hair curl by curl, forming it into a voluminous bun, after which you need to fix the hairstyle with hairspray and add a tiara.

It is best to place it at the top base of the bun, securing it with strong invisible hairpins.

Long hair

In most cases, owners of long, luxurious hair prefer not to hide the length of their hair, but to emphasize it with voluminous curls.

This is what explains the popularity of wedding hairstyles with loose curly ponytails and long tiaras.

To create this type of hairstyle, you will need all the same materials as for buns, but with one condition: the mesh roller needs to be loosened so that it looks like a long mesh in the form of a soft tube, then rolled up and later fixed at the base of the tail.

Separate part of the hair and fix the tail at the desired level. Then you need to fix the roller and the remaining hair, after giving it volume. Next, you need to curl the curls, give them airiness and secure them with hairpins, giving the tail the desired shape.

The advantage of a long tiara is that when creating this hairstyle, you can fix a part at the beginning of the head, and weave the rest into the tail. This will make your wedding hairstyle more impressive and delicate.

Wedding hair jewelry: how to replace a veil?

Don’t be afraid to experiment, because instead of a veil, you can use an original accessory on the bride’s head. Let your hairstyle be decorated with a real work of art on your happiest day.

It is important to choose a good master who will make your dreams come true. You can also explore the assortment of specialized stores and choose one of the jewelry for the bride’s head, which will become a full replacement for the veil

Headband, bandage or hair clip

This option will be appropriate in the following cases:

• if the wedding dress is distinguished by the presence of a large number of decorations (ruffles and flounces, rhinestones, sewing and lace), then the veil can overload the image, and a small decoration will be in place;
• if the hairpin or headband repeats the motifs of the dress decoration or is combined with the overall style;
• if it is possible to harmoniously fit the accessory into the hairstyle.

A headband, headband or hairpin with decorative elements will go well with both an updo and a bun with soft curls or even loose hair. The accessory can be bought ready-made, ordered from a craftsman, or made with your own hands.

Wedding hat

Wedding head accessories such as hats were popular in the 80-90s of the twentieth century, but their improved versions remain in demand today. Previously, the hat was a symbol of marriage for the second or third time, but now this tradition is a thing of the past.

The main rule for choosing this accessory is to take into account the volume of the dress. If the outfit is lush with a long train and many decorative elements, it is better to choose a small hat. If the dress is more modest, then you can choose a more expressive hat for the wedding.

Diadem or tiara

Surprisingly, a bride can look royal without a veil; she just needs to wear a diadem or tiara. Such accessories are made using rhinestones, Swarovski crystals and even real precious stones. They are ideal for both fluffy and classic straight-cut dresses.

Veil

A wedding veil is ideal for a short dress, but it will look quite organic with a long outfit. This wedding accessory for the bride is worn on the head slightly to the side to coquettishly cover only part of the face. It is desirable that the decoration be made of the material that was used in sewing the dress.

The veil is often part of another wedding accessory, such as a bonnet, hairpin or headband. Such hair decorations can be purchased at any wedding store or made to order. In addition, you can make a veil yourself.

Flower wreath

The most popular wedding hair decorations besides veils are flower wreaths

It is important to choose exactly the flowers that will be present in the bride’s bouquet and the groom’s boutonniere. The wreath is often made by florists, using not only fresh flowers, but also artificial ones.

As you can see, the bride will always find something to choose from a huge range of wedding hair accessories. The portal www.svadebka.ws is always ready to help you choose the perfect image to attract the attention and delight every guest at the wedding!

• sewing pins;
• needle, scissors, matching threads.

Step-by-step instruction

1. For a hat with your own hands, you first need to make a frame, for which we cut a strip of crossbar 50 cm long and connect it into a ring. Rigelin is sold in craft stores and is used to make clothes where the sewing technology requires tight seams. In our master class, he creates the necessary volume and shape of the future hat. On it we attach ribs from strips 20 cm long (see photo).
2. We cover the frame with thin padding polyester, trying to distribute it evenly. Seal with pins along the edges.

3. We turn the edges of the padding inward and hem it.
4. We drape the workpiece with satin. To ensure that the folds keep their shape and do not unfold or float down, they must be secured with a machine.
5. We turn the edges of the satin inward and hem it. Along the edges of the hat you need to make loops for the hairpins that hold the hat (up to 1cm long).
6. Inside the hat we sew a lining, which we cut out of black satin in the shape of a circle with a radius of 15 cm, make a couple of folds and sew it to the hat with a hidden seam.
7. From the mesh you need to make a circle with a radius of 20 cm and sew the veil with laid-in waves to the hat with a through seam, fixing the folds with your fingers and forming a beautiful shape of the veil. It is better to choose a net with black flies, which add playfulness and flirtatiousness to the hat.
8. Decorate the hat with bows. We cut out strips of 35 x 17 cm and 14 x 14 cm from black satin, and 29 x 17 cm from red fabric. We fold the strips with the ends in the middle, connect them into a ring by machine or by hand and sew bows along the long side.
9. We turn it inside out, iron it, assemble the bow (we put a red one on the black part) and sew it to the hat on top of the veil in the very center of the composition.
10. We try on the finished hat and boldly go to a party or carnival to amaze everyone with our beauty.

How to choose a veil

The most common and classic version of a modern veil is a mesh with large or small cells. The materials also used are the finest gauze, transparent organza or lace.

Despite the fact that the accessory itself already attracts attention, modern designers are not afraid to make it even more accentuated by adding bright decorative elements: rhinestones, stones, embroidery...

Particular attention should be paid to choosing the length of the veil; it should favorably emphasize the shape and color of the face. There is an unspoken rule: the longer the veil is chosen, the finer the mesh should be

For women with fair skin, veils with a pattern of small polka dots in the spirit of golden Hollywood stars are suitable.

Let's not get our hopes up and say right away that the veil is not a universal headdress. This is not a hat with a pompom, and it doesn’t even have a beret. The veil is not easy to choose, and even more difficult to wear, correctly combining it with modern silhouettes and textures... But, believe me, the one who manages to “tame” this accessory will not go unnoticed. Today, the veil and all its mesh and lace interpretations are a symbol of sharp taste, brightness of character and an ironic approach to fashion. To understand how to “fit” a veil into your wardrobe without looking vulgar, it is better to focus on the combinations presented by designers in the new season.

Photos of wedding veils

There is a large selection of veils for brides. They can be without decoration or spectacularly decorated with flowers, lace, ribbons, feathers, hairpins with pearls or rhinestones. In such an interesting wedding accessory the newlywed will look original and mysterious. If you want to give the mesh a special shape, simply spray it with varnish and create the desired configuration.

Stylish option for little girls

A young fashionista always wants to be like her mother. That is why a large hat or voluminous evening hairstyle will simply be inappropriate, but a compact head accessory will fit perfectly. To make a veil for a girl with your own hands, you need to prepare the following materials:

• A small hairpin or a plain headband.
• Big needle.
• A small piece of veil (25x25 centimeters).
• White threads.
• Original items for decoration (flowers, beads, sequins, lace, feathers, beads).
• Glue.

At the preliminary stage of work, the veil must be ironed at a low temperature. This is done in order to smooth out all existing creases, otherwise an uneven fold may eventually form. Using a regular needle, the mesh veil is collected along one side of the rectangle into a neat bun.

During this procedure, you must ensure that the fabric is not too tight. You can try to form neat small folds, and only then grab them with white thread, stitching one place several times. This will help achieve good strength in the folded areas.

Using high-quality glue, the resulting workpiece is fixed to the headband or hairpin. The glue must be applied exactly to the attachment point, avoiding getting the chemical on your hands or other parts of the body. Decoration depends only on the imagination and skill of the needlewoman. You can glue a voluminous flower to match the veil. A lace bow neatly decorated with a bead or pearl will look very gentle.
