4 Wedding Veil and Headpiece Mistakes and

How to Avoid Them

Harriet Britto

For most brides their wedding day is the one and only time that they will ever wear a

wedding veil and because of this they may not be aware of a few common mistakes that

they could make.

So listed below you will find four of the most common mistakes that a bride can make

when selecting her veil and headpiece.

1. Not Choosing the Right Headpiece

Some brides will fall in love with a headpiece that is in trend at the moment and will

insist on wearing it without giving proper thought as to how it will look on her.

When you choose a headpiece ensure that it is in proportion to your own size. The

headpiece that you put on must not make you look too tall, shorter, or even too fat or

thin. For instance; a very short bride wearing a large picture hat would make her look

even shorter than she is, whereas a tiny pillbox hat on a plus-sized bride will look very

odd.

As you try on various headpieces pay attention to how they look on you and ask

yourself: Do they bring out the best or worst of your features? Eliminate the styles that

make you look dreadful and retain the styles that bring out very best in you and make

your final choice from these.

2. Choosing A Veil That Is Not The Correct Length

You should take into consideration not only your body shape but your dress style when

deciding on the length of your wedding veil. Depending on where the veil length ends on

you it can either enhance your look or make you look awful.

So when trying on various wedding veil lengths see how they make you look; Does it

make you look taller or shorter?, Does it fit in with the style of your wedding dress? and

Does it fit in with the type of ceremony you are having?

3. Choosing A Veil That Does Not Match The Gown

Some brides just like sparkle and will have a heavily beaded wedding dress which can

look lovely on its own but will look overdone when teamed with a wedding veil that is

also heavily embellished with sparkling gems. To bring out the true beauty of such a

gown a simple plain veil might be a more appropriate choice.

4. Not Taking The Time To Securely Place The Veil In The Hair

Last but not least before your wedding day if you are planning on doing your own hair

you should experiment with ways that will have your veil and headpiece secured nicely in

place for the length of time you wear it.

There is nothing worse or more embarrassing than feeling your veil slowly slipping down

your back when walking down the aisle just because you didn't take the time add an

extra hair pin or two.
