Updo

• There are a vast range of updo styles for brides with long hair that suit wedding veils, including traditional buns, chignons, curly updos, French twists and ponytails. Updos can be sleek and straight, loose and wavy or elegant and curly, depending on the look you want to achieve and the style that complements your face shape. Long veils can be placed either at the back of the head to emphasize your chosen updo, or at the front of the head to make a bold statement on its own.
  
  

Half-Up Half-Down

• For brides who are undecided on whether to wear hair up or down, there are half-up half-down hairstyle options. The up-styling adds sophistication while the down-styling adds glamor and softens the look, making it suitable for weddings of all formalities. Gently pull a section of hair from the front of the head on each side and attach to the back of your head. Curl the rest of your hair so that it falls in loose waves over your shoulders. A long length veil placed at the crown adds elegance and compliments the style.
  
  

Loose

• Wearing the hair loose can be a stunning and glamorous option for brides with long hair who prefer a more casual look. Hair can either be styled straight, into romantic curls or into loose, tousled waves for a more relaxed, but still elegant, appearance. Apply hairspray to your chosen loose style in order to keep your long hair in place throughout the wedding. Consider adding a touch of class by wearing a long veil that sits over your hair and frames the style, making sure that your veil is longer than the length of your hair.
  
  

Accessories

• Hair accessories and headpieces can be used to adorn and add charm to long bridal hairstyles with veils. Try to coordinate your accessories with the detail on your wedding dress. More dramatic, elaborate headpieces and accessories, such as large flowers or headbands, are best suited for simple hairstyles and hair that has been styled into an updo. Smaller, more delicate accessories, such as pins and combs, work well with long loose bridal hairstyles and half up half down styles. Decide whether you want either your hair or your accessories to be the main feature so they do not compete for attention.
