How To Secure Wedding Veil?

Before storing your wedding veil, it is essential to clean and prepare it properly. Choose the right storage method, gather necessary supplies, fold and wrap the veil properly, store it in a safe location, and check and refresh the storage regularly.

Securing a bridal veil can be challenging for short hair, but there are top tips on how to secure it. One common way to secure a drop veil is using a comb, which is inserted into the hair with the veil attached to it. For short hair, positioning the veil above where a majority of the hair is gathered is recommended. To secure a metal veil comb in short hair, use tiny elastic bands to create a perfect base for the teeth of the veil comb to grip onto.

A headband is another popular and versatile way to secure a drop veil. The most common veil attachment is a bridal veil comb, which can be used for any hair type or style. The standard comb, 3 x 5 inches, made of clear plastic, slides in and out easily due to its smooth teeth.

For wedding wing veils, consider nontraditional options like shoulder veils and wedding wings. However, if you want your veil to look beautiful forever, it’s worth it to leave it to a professional.

Insert bobby pins on each side of the veil comb to ensure the veil stays in place. Ensure the pins are similar to your hair color and are neatly tucked beneath the hair and cross over the teeth of the veil comb for a secure hold.

For extra shoulder coverage, use a slightly longer 4 or 5 inch comb to secure the veil around your shoulders. Finally, position the veil atop your head and secure it into place with bobby pins.
