Wedding Veil Tie Headband with pearls and flowers
A wedding is the most important event in every girl’s life. The desire to create a unique image on this day is understandable and objective. Therefore, to stand out from the crowd of brides, girls come up with various tricks and ways to make the image individual. The wedding veil is one of those details, which is unusual for the eyes and can become a highlight of any wedding image.
Style and types of veils
Veil, as a detail of the closet, appeared in history quite a long time ago. For the first time this element of the female image is mentioned from the time of ancient culture. However, it acquired a classic style only in the Middle Ages. The veil had two main tasks:
- Protective, where the main duty of the veil was to cover the head of women from the effects of sunlight;
- Moral, preventing unauthorized men from casting unnecessarily curious glances into the faces of ladies.
In ancient times, both sides of the issue were of equal importance to the ladies who valued themselves. Appearance and forms have undergone a fair amount of change throughout history. In modern stores you can see such types of voilets as:
- Long cut, which completely covers the face. Attached usually to pill hats;
- A medium-sized piece that can be as long as the bridge of the nose. Usually attached either to the hat or to the hairstyle with its own attachment. It is made in the style of a floral arrangement, which is considered a complete addition to the image;
- Short models barely cover the eyes. The fastening is usually placed on the back of the head with the help of either pins or its own mechanism.
However, these decorations are distinguished not only by length, but also by other criteria. In the second turn, such factors as color and fabric material are taken into account.
The first place in popularity is occupied by veillets from a rather rare material, namely a large mesh veil. They give the illusion of a closed image, as well as allow the lady not to lose visual contact with the outside world. This version of the veil is relevant for any type of wedding.
In second place in demand is the veil with a finer mesh. It gives the girl’s image a mysteriousness, a little bit erasing her facial features and visually making them blurred from afar. This model will suit ladies with complexes about facial features, as well as with real flaws and imperfections. For example, those who had a recent surgery. Also this model will appeal to sensitive and romantic natures.
In terms of colors, the most popular are white and cream types of veils. Non-standard natures sometimes prefer black colors. Especially relevant is the model with black netting in a modern or retro style. The image of a bride with a black veil and a high-tech style dress will turn out to be interesting. The black veil model will suit brunettes, being a visual continuation of the hair. This element is considered an ideal element of the decor of the wedding dress, which at a certain length of the bride is replaced by the veil.

- With a strict style hairstyle it is best to attach the veil a little further from the crown, or on the side with a bow or a floral arrangement. The size can be either minimal or tiered. Under such a choice, the dress should be a classic, strict cut;
- when choosing complex hairstyles, it is worth paying attention to the veil with medium, or small size with a sparse mesh. Decorate the element of the closet can both a hat and a flower in a single copy. The size of the net and decorations depend on the length of the bride’s hair and facial features, as well as the style of the dress. Such veillets are attached either to the hairpin or to the headband;
- A veil with a bell style cap can be an interesting addition to the image. A variant of such an image would be ideal for a themed wedding in the style of the 60s. It perfectly combines with retro dresses, in which the accent goes on the skirt of puffed cut length a little below the knees. The face of such a veil closes minimally;
- The ideal accent in the image of a veil can be for modern dresses that slightly cover certain parts of the body. An excellent solution would be a repetition of the pattern or decor on the dress in a veil, for example, lace.
If the outfit includes a fur cape, for example, in the winter version, you can consider a light fabric mesh.
In the makeup under the veil, it is especially important to highlight the eyes. Combat makeup in the image of the bride looks at least ridiculous. But unusual arrows and lush eyelashes may well complement the image and become its highlight. Complement the image allow the shadows of purple, silver or lilac shades, depending on the general gamma of the image. The emphasis on the lips should be avoided, otherwise the image will be overloaded. A common mistake is to combine a lush, overstuffed veil with ball gowns. Stylists do not recommend overloading the bride’s image with details.
However, with the right approach, the wedding veil can become an indispensable detail of the image.
