A. If you are having an updo, slip the teeth of the comb under a secure curl. Once the comb is slipped in, bobby pin over the teeth.

B. For short hair or down styles, take a two inch square section of hair from the area your veil will be attached. Take a brush or comb and tease the section of hair closest to the scalp. The idea is to form a cushion of matted hair.

C. Lay the matted section back. Pin the cushion to the scalp with a criss cross of bobbypins.

D. Now slide the teeth of the comb along the scalp UNDER the bobbypins. The teeth will go into the cushion. It should take a little muscle to slip it in. Add more bobbypins over the comb for heavy or long veils.

 

Where should my veil be placed on my head?

For the most part it is a matter of personal preference. Some brides like to "see" a lot of veil and some like it tucked in the back. In the photos below the pink arrows show a number of choices for each hairstyle.These brides below choose the first arrow.

Here these brides choose to show off a pretty tiara and a few curls.The veil is placed at the second arrow.

The third area is more toward the back and falls "off" the style.
