Short hair and a veil?

Saskia, on July 16, 2017 at 12:58 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 13

Decided on a dress two weeks ago (earlier than I wanted but my sister was visiting from overseas and I couldn't decide without her) and am torn about if I'll wear a veil or what type. My hair is short and I likely won't have it longer than a shoulder length bob. All options appreciated!

    I think birdcage veils and fascinators are amazing with shorter hair and one would go really beautifully with that amazing dress.

    I second PP. Look how good a birdcage veil looks with short hair.

    I've got the same problem, OP! My FMIL will be doing my hair, we did a trial and decided a veil or even a birdcage veil just isn't for me. However, I have a pixie cut, much shorter than yours. I think you would look good with a birdcage veil!

    I have a pixie cut and wanted a traditional veil. I think it looks good. I say wear what YOU want to wear!

    @klaudia I came from a pixie that I can't help but miss now and again. I think I'll try a few things, by what I really took away from your post was doing a trial. Definitely what will help me decide.

    Have you tried wearing the veil higher, like it's attached to a headband? It's a totally different look than putting it in the back.

    Veil or not, you look stunning in your dress!

    Thanks Natalie C! It's a gorgeous veil with similar edging to the dress. And it does make me feel especially "bridal." Just decisions I didn't think about.

    I love your hair and dress! Have you tried on different types of veils with the dress? If you don't like the birdcage look, what about a fingertip veil? It's a little less dramatic and I think would look great
