    So, originally I didn't think I wanted a veil. But now I think I do. My dress is being made with de-tachable straps that I plan on making into a headband. I have attached pictures of the hairstyle I want (she's wearing a headband like I will be), and the veil I saw that made me want a veil (I would get the same type elbow length with wide lace trim.). Tell me if you think it would be too much to wear a veil with the hairstlye and a headband.

    With the lace that wide around your face, I think a headband is too much. The headband would detract from the veil, and vice versa.

    I guess you have to click on the attachment named hair to see the hairdo.

    OMG I totally posted that Serena pic a while back as a hair inspiration pic. Ultimately I decided against doing it exactly because I want to wear a veil. The advice I asked for when I had this same problem, some people did say they thought it would work, but I wasn't trying to do it with a mantilla veil.

    I love the look of the headband and that hairstyle! I think you could pull it off. It would look a little more like a tiara with the veil in there, but you could always take the veil off during the reception at some point.

    I think you can get away with wearing a simple headband with a veil but then the veil would need to be pretty simple.  So I guess you have to pick one.  Ugh I so wish I could do both.

    I was thinking that I would only wear the veil for the ceremony. But the more I look at the hairdo I want, I realize that the back of my hair would probably look kinda weird under the veil. It would probably push it out. Sadness. I really want to do both.

    I'm with MissChirpie and blue butterfly, wear the veil for the ceremony and the headband for the reception, i think both at the same time would be too much.

    I'd definitely do veil for the ceremony, headband for the reception, but not both together. I think it would be overkill.

    I don't think you should wear both together.  The headband has a greek goddess look to it, and the lace veil is very romantic.  To me, they would clash together.  I agree with the other girls....veil for ceremony, headband for reception.

    I think that's way too much together.  Those are two very different looks.

    I love the headband look!  I think the veil/headband combo could be done, but mabye not with this particular headband and veil.

    Vel and headband can be used together. However, I don't think a mantilla veil can be used with a headband.. you would need a gathered veil.

    I agree, if you want both, don't do them at the same time, it's  alittle much
