    Hello Bees,

    I had my hair and makeup trial a month or so ago, and am happy with the look (pic below). However, I didn't have a veil then (still don't), and so I'm trying to figure out where I should pin the veil in for the day. I'm thinking at the top, where the curls begin, with some sort of jeweled hair comb which I could then wear for the reception -- but I'm not sure, and I don't want to be waffling on the wedding day.

    Do me a favor and post your "wedding hairstyles from behind plus a veil" photos, whether they're of you or just inspiration shots. Hair styles that look like mine would be particularly helpful!

    I, personally, like it pinned up high on the head. A veil shooting out the bottom of hair looks weird to me.

    This picture's not me but I'm using it for inspiration:

    @Mrs.D-To-Be:  Thanks for the photo! That's a lovely style. I also found this thread which has some pics, even though mine isn't really a side bun. I'd still love more examples if folks have them!

    I personally also like the veil pinned higher up in the hair. To me it looks like it's growing out of your head when it's pinned low :)

    I guess mine was right in the middle. I took it off right after the ceremony and showed off my awesome hairdo.

    I had mine over the top of the back (majority of the hair style) BUT I went to a wedding where the girl had removed the comb from the top and put it underneath. I must admit it flowed really well!
