How are you supposed to wear a wedding veil?

Wearing a veil is entirely your choice, and there are no strict rules about how it must sit. Most veils have a comb or clips sewn into the top, which you slide into your hair after your hairstyle is set. Try wearing it before the big day so you know how it feels and looks with your dress.

Many brides wear a shorter veil for the ceremony and remove it for the reception, or keep it on all evening if they love the look. Some prefer a birdcage or blusher style that covers the face briefly, then flips back. If your veil is long or heavy, ask a bridesmaid or parent to help you manage it during photos and dancing.

Whatever you choose, it should feel comfortable and match your outfit. If you are unsure about any religious or venue rules around veils, check with your register office or place of worship, as traditions vary.
