15 Classic Wedding Hairstyles That Work Well With Veils

A veil is the perfect finishing touch to your bridal hairstyle, not to mention that your wedding day is one of the only occasions you’ll get to wear one!

In this article, I will cover 15 classic wedding hairstyles that will work beautifully with your wedding veil.

Classic updo hairstyle

It doesn’t get more classic than an updo hairstyle with a veil. Not only is an updo hairstyle elegant, but it’s also practical, as you won’t have to worry about your hair falling in your face! Complete with a white flower and you’ll be ready for your big day!

Twisted updo hairstyle

If you fancy an updo hairstyle with flowers integrated throughout, why not try this stunning twisted updo hairstyle? Not only does it look great on its own, but it works really well with a beautiful veil.

Half up half down hairstyle

You can always opt for a simple half up half down hairstyle. The great thing about this hairstyle is that it still keeps your hair out of your face, but doesn’t take anything away from your beautiful gown and veil.

Curly down do hairstyle

If you would prefer to keep things simple, why not try a curly hairstyle with your veil draped behind you? The beautiful curls will frame your face, while your veil will complete the ethereal look!

Wavy updo

If you prefer loose waves as opposed to a tight curl, this effortless updo is the perfect option for you. This simple, yet elegant style won’t distract from your dress, but is absolutely beautiful when paired with a long veil.

Flowery bun

Adding flowers to your bun is a great way of adding a pop of color to your hairstyle. Whether you opt for green foliage, colored flowers, or simple white flowers to match your wedding gown, the variety is endless to match your color scheme!

Crown veil

It’s your special day! If you’re looking for a statement hairstyle, why not pair a crown with your veil? Not only will it bring the sparkle to your wedding look, but your guests also won’t forget your hairstyle any time soon!

Tiara veil

A step down from the crown, a tiara paired with your veil makes a perfect addition to your hairstyle. While it’s more subtle than a crown, it still provides your look with a touch of sparkle!

Flower head piece

In the same breath as a crown or tiara, you could always opt for a head piece. This flower head piece with a veil makes for a striking combination. A bonus is this option works well with both up and down hair dos!

Braided coiffure

Braided updos are a popular choice for weddings, and this braided coiffure is no exception! Pair it with flowers of your choice and a beautiful veil, and you’ll have a stunning wedding look!

Curly bun

A curly bun is a classic wedding hairstyle. Not only is it sleek, but it can be so versatile depending on the look that you’re going for! Add your favorite flowers and you’ll be good to go!

Double bun updo

If you want a hairstyle that is more unique, why not opt for a double bun updo? Not only can you experiment with the height of the buns and your veil, but this hairstyle gives you a different look to the standard bun!

Sleek updo hairstyle

Nothing says classy like a simple, sleek updo for your special day! This elegant look paired with a beautiful veil won’t take away from your gown or makeup, but will contribute so much to your overall look for your day!

Quiff

A quiff is a popular wedding hairstyle, as it’s a great way of adding volume to your hair for the entire day. This is a great hairstyle for people who have thinner hair, and need a little extra oomph on their special day.

Beehive

For a statement look, you could finally opt for a beehive for your big day! Usually to achieve a beehive, your hair is backcombed and smoothed over a hair piece to add a tonne of volume to your look. While it’s more dramatic, it’s a lovely bridal hairstyle!
