Good afternoon and Happy New Year!

There are a number of things to consider with accessories, including the theme /style of your wedding; how formal / casual it will be; have you decided on your jewellery yet and whether or not you intend to change out of your wedding dress into a reception dress. Also are you going for minimalist or full on OTT luxury?

A veil tends to be a more traditional look but goes just as beautifully, especially a long veil, with a more contemporary short dress.  This particular look is also a stunning sophisticated minimalist look that still has the feel of luxury because of the length of the veil especially if paired with simple but bold statement earrings. 

As previously noted, you can wear both a veil and a headpiece or hairpins even if you wanted to. For example if you had a bun, you could tuck the veil in under your bun and put a comb with florals on the front of your bun or hairpins all through it. This would work very well with a dress that is all floral lace and / or beaded or embroidered.

 Also keep in mind whether or not you have always wanted to wear a veil or whether you just "feel you should". The most important thing is that you look back on your day and feel that you did what you wanted not what others expect of you, unless meeting others expectations will actually make you happy. 

The best thing to do is start from your dress and then speak to your accessories designer who should be happy to go through all of these things with you and may be able to customise your accessories to suit your personal needs. ps happy to discuss further, just message me! ??

Why not do both? ?? consult with you hairdresser to see if they can place your hair piece and veil so all youu need for your night xhamge look is to remove tbe veil.
