3 Veils, 3 Looks: Your Wedding Hair Woes, Solved!
Weddings can be downright stressful. Haven't you seen Steel Magnolias? My Best Friend's Wedding? (Side note: Julia Roberts fancies her some wedding movies, doesn't she?) So the last thing you want to worry about is whether or not your desired hairstyle works with the type of veil you want to wear or vice versa.
Paul Perez, stylist at Sally Hershberger Salon in Los Angeles, specializes in wedding hairstyles and gave us a few inspirational looks depending on the type of veil you pick: the birdcage, the cathedral, and the midlength veil. (Three of the most popular designs!) So which one works best with a top knot? And if you have short hair, can you even pull off an updo? These tutorials will answer all of your wedding hair woes.
Special thanks to Two's Company Events and Speciality Boutique for the veils.
