Wearing a veil if you have short hair

Q: I have short hair and want to wear a veil for my ceremony. What are my options?A: Short hair can be tricky, but there are several ways to go.For the traditional veil, it's best to stick with a lightweight fabric, such as netting, and go with a veil that's shorter than fingertip-length to complement your hair. To secure the veil, tease your hair with a comb, add the veil, secure the comb at the crown, and add bobby pins for extra hold.If your hair is long enough to wear in a small chignon, you might consider incorporating a veil comb into your 'do.For a couture look, the cage veil is a nice alternative to longer designs and works with any hairstyle. Wear it alone or add a chic, vintage pillbox hat.(Carley Roney, co-founder and editor in chief of The Knot, the nation's leading wedding resource, advises millions of brides on modern wedding etiquette at www.theknot.com.)(Distributed by Scripps Howard News Service, http://www.scrippsnews.com)
