    I am going to wear Casablanca 1909 and I also ordered a thin tulle veil with lace edging that's waltz (ballet) length.  I am having extra length added so that it will be a full 9 feet, and I want to continue the formal look by wearing my hair up.  Do I wear a tiara with the veil?  Where do I put the veil on my head?

     

    Thanks!

    I don't think I've seen a tiara worn with a mantilla, although that doesn't mean you can't pull it off!

    The ways I've seen it are:

    Drop style a la Grace Kellly

    Bordering your your hairline, as pictured by Anne Ruthmann

    On the top of your updo a la this gal

    Hope that helps!

    Hmmm...Well that failed miserably.  Oh well, you should still be able to follow the links.  Good luck!

    Thanks!  Do you have any ideas about bracelets, hair pins, etc.?

    I too am wondering how to wear the Mantilla veil.  I purchased one from a fellow Bee, and I don't know how to tack it on to my crown (pins?).  I don't want to sew in and use a comb.

    I didnt go for that exact veil but I can sord of show you how it 

    looks with a tiara.

    I should have been more specific -- I meant crown of my head!  lol.  I don't want to use a tiara -- just on top of my head.  :-)

     

    Did that veil have a comb in it?  Or did you pin it on?

    Thanks!

    A mantilla veil usually has a small comb sewn on the underside of the lace. It can't be seen at all when wearing.

    Yes, that's how I will wear mine as well.  I think the main idea of this stream of posts was how people wear it (using a comb, hair pins, etc).
