When a bride’s hairstyle is done, her make-up is flawless, and the wedding dress looks amazing, one significant detail remains: a veil.
If you love veils, there is a crucial matter to solve before you proceed down the aisle: How will you style your hair with a veil on your big day? Here are 25 wedding hairstyles with veils that you’ll love.
Bridal Hairstyle Ideas With Veil
Nearly all bridal hairstyles may be worn with a veil, but placement is crucial, so brides need not worry. There really aren’t any steadfast rules that you have to follow.
And today, we’ve rounded up lots of inspiration, whether you’re considering an updo with your veil or want to highlight your lengthy tresses.
1. Curled Side Ponytail with Wispy Bangs
There’s nothing prettier than a side-swept ponytail with big curls, wispy bangs, and a veil placed in the middle of the back of the head. Placing the veil low doesn’t overpower the bride allowing her radiant beauty to shine.
2. Sculpted Side-Parted Waves with a Full Veil
If you have short hair or want to wear a full updo, then this veil is for you! A 2-layer circular cut veil with lots of volume creates a romantic and traditional look.
3. Copper Rolled Updo with a Low Veil
When you have gorgeous ginger hair, you don’t want to wear a veil that covers it. Embrace your beautiful red hair with a classic updo and some large curls, and place your veil under the updo. Doing this allows the veil to cascade gently down the back or gently sit on the edge of the shoulders.
In this example, the bride wears a 2-layer veil with a ribbon edge.
4. High Bun with a Rolled Front
For a little extra drama and vintage style, wear your hair in a bouffant updo with the front swooped to the side in waves. It’s a beautiful look, and since the hairstyle is so pretty and unique, you’ll definitely want to wear the veil low.
This bride chose a circular cut veil with delicate floral applique along the edge.
5. Side-Swept Curls with a Lace Clip
A classic and romantic bridal hairstyle featuring a timeless side part and long curls swooped to the side. To finish off the look, the bride is wearing a lace hairclip and veil placed towards the top of her head, allowing it to flow gently while framing her face.

Choose a veil with several layers, a funky hair accessory, and a ribbon edge for a fun and flirty look with your short hair. It’s dramatic, fun, and ultra-romantic.

We love this classic wedding hairstyle for medium-length hair. Side-swept bangs and side part, a little volume on top, and a low ponytail with softly curled ends are perfectly accented with a low sheer veil.

Oh, yes! This wedding hairstyle with a lace veil is GORG! A classy updo with wispy hair framing the face and a romantic and traditional veil placed above the bun allowing it to cascade down the bride’s back. It creates an ethereal look.
