    My dress came with a matching cathedral length mantilla veil.  It's beautiful.  My only problem is that I have no clue how/where to wear it.  I'm not sure if I want my hair up or down, so I'm asking all of you for a little help.

    If you have worn a mantilla, could you please send some help my way?  Pictures would be great if you have them.  I'm just lost.

    I suggest putting your hair in different styles and then trying the veil on to see what looks best.

    I think mantilla veils are beautiful and feminine.  The first picture below stands out to me as a really great way to wear a mantilla.  Her hair is mostly pulled back but not up too high.  I think the styles that would work with a mantilla are a low bun or chignon, curly down-do, or some variation of the French twist.  (Examples below.)  Hope that helps!

    Personally I don't like to see a mantilla worn with loose hair. I have a very long hair but I'm doing an updo. The kind of updo to prefer depends essentially on the shape your face has:
