How To Wear A Veil And Tiara
|
 These two pages should answer
most of your questions about the proper way to put on a veil with a comb
as well as how to wear a tiara. All photos are in the orientation shown
at the right. |
 Begin by holding the comb upside down, with the concave
side upward, as in the photo. Both layers of tulle are pulled backward.
The blusher, which is the shorter layer, is on top. |
 Rotate the comb forward as shown
in the next three photos. |
 Just for reference, this is the wrong way to hold the comb. |
 With the concave side of the comb now
downward, slide it into the hair. |
 Slide the tiara on at a 45-degree
angle. |
 
Adjust the tiara so that there is no gap between the veil
and the tiara. For a snug fit, you may have to gently bend the tiara
band to fit the shape of your head. If there are thin metal fingers on
the tiara, these may also be adjusted for the most comfortable and
secure fit. Note--the combs do not bend, only the headband or tiara
style headpieces will bend (see an example of a comb on the right). |
 If you have pin loops like these,
secure the tiara with bobbypins through the pin loops to hold it in
place. |
 Cover the ends of the exposed band with hair. |
 If you're wearing your hair down, without a veil, slant the tiara like this for best effect. Don't perch
it on top of your head or you'll look more like a beauty pageant winner than a bride.
