Opinions on hair accessories

Lauren, on December 5, 2023 at 1:55 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 1

I apologize in advance if this post is a bit long, I really need some outside opinions and want to give enough detail. I am wearing a chapel length veil for my wedding in June. My hair will be in a low bun (or potentially half updo) with the veil on top. I am torn between two options for hair accessories: a bridal comb/hair vine on the back of my head to cover the veil comb, or a "halo" headband.

Regarding the bridal comb/vine, I'm worried it won't work with the veil I have already selected. My veil (and dress):

The veil comb is a bit bulky and thick, so I'm not sure a hair vine would sit properly if I place it over the top edge of the veil. This photo is similar to how I'd like it to look, although this veil and accessory were made to be worn together, so mine wouldn't be as seamless:

I have found some hair vines that I think could work but obviously I don't want to purchase one and dislike the way it looks over the veil comb. I have yet to find a bridal comb that I think would work well. I would want it to cover the top of the veil comb, it may be too thick to be possible. I don't want to have a bridal comb just sticking out above the veil like this:

My other option is to wear a halo headband and the veil alone in the back. I absolutely love this one:

Would it be too much combined with the detail of the veil? I'm also a bit concerned about looking too matchy with my fiancée since she is also wearing a halo. She doesn't think it's an issue since our outfits are different overall. She is wearing a black dress, no veil, and this larger gold halo:

My mom prefers the hair vine, my fiancée prefers the halo, and I'm indecisive! Did any of you have a similar veil comb? Did you wear a hair accessory next to the veil or on another part of your head? Thank you so much for reading this far, your opinions will really help me!

    Your hair stylist will probably be able to position the vines so they don’t sit directly on the comb and look good. But if you really like the halo, go for it! I’m of the opinion that a wedding is one of the few times we’re allowed to wear a tiara without judgement, so do it if that’s what you want!
