Casual bridal hairstyles?

My wedding theme is casual, fun-filled. I do not want a very elaborate and heavily hair-sprayed bun on my head. In fact I want to wear my hair down. I have straight hair now but intend to give it some soft curls.

Is it true that if the hair is bunned up it is easier to secure the veil? How do I do it if I want to let my hair loose? My gown is full-laced, mermaid cut and have a chapel-length train. Does straight hair go with this design?

I also had a mermaid gown and wore my hair down:

My hair is also straight, and I also wanted "soft" curls. It IS harder to attach the veil, but not impossible.

I posted my pics because my gown also was laced, mermaid style, but I had a Cathedral veil for the ceremony (I used the blusher as my veil for the reception). I am glad I wore my hair down, and it fit well with my look.

Good luck and I hope I helped!

well, there needs to be something to hook the veil into to keep it in place. something would likely need to be pulled back to keep it in place. I wouldnt do straight hair becuase it looks to informal. I know its a casual wedding, but if your wearing a lace gown, you should at least dress it up a bit.

do what you like it's your wedding, the veil can be held in with the comb and kirby grips to help if need be, the hairdresser will work this all out for you, just take your veil and tiara to a trial at your hairdressers

I don't see why you couldn't wear your hair down. I did the same, though I have very curly hair, but I took some hair from each side and put a pretty jeweled clip to hold it back. For me this helped to hold the barret for the veil. This may be different if your having a veil over your face though, I chose not to do that. But I had a gorgeous dress with beading, off the shoulder straps and a decent length train, and my hair being down really topped it off. I also did a jeweled tiarra instead of the front veil if that helps.

Good luck, and do what ever you're happy with. This is your day!

You can put a veil in hair that is all the way down with soft curls! Just make sure the veil has a good comb on it and place it at the crown of your head. Works like a charm!
