How to put in a bridal veil




Check out our video on how to put a bridal veil into you hair style.

We like to try your veil on at your trial but if you forget to bring it we like to explain the process. We educate your bridesmaids on how to put in the veil and what to be careful of.

A few pointers;


  • talk to your hairstylist about which way the comb needs to go for the desired hairstyle and/or position of the veil.
  • test where the veil will go and the length it will fall at the front
  • use a base to pin into and talk to your stylist about how to remove as it can effect how it is put in
  • explain in detail to your partner or father or who ever is lifting the veil at the alter on how to put the veil back so not to smudge your make-up or fluff your hair (get them to check out this video with tips and pictures at the end)
  • make sure your chief bridesmaid checks your veil when it is moved so it doen't stick out in the picture
  • always get extra pins for touch ups to the hair or veil
  • always use your hand to protect hair and face from the veil

I hope these tips are helpful for your on your special day!

We will travel to you for your wedding day!

Urban Hi-Lights specialise in mobile weddings and love to make a brides day stress free and enjoyable. This year we will be travelling to Warwick, Roma and Dalby just to name a few places.
So far this year we have been to peoples homes, Gabbinbar Homestead and Burke and Wills Hotel in Toowoomba.
We recommend you book a trial and when doing so we allow more time to talk details of your wedding day. We also offer free consultations in our salon by appointment with our hair and/or beauty team.

During the trial  or free in salon consultation we discuss;
Style options
look at pictures
design a style to suit your dress and wedding theme
venue for wedding day
travel cost (free for Toowoomba)
time frames for each person
cermeony time
time photographer might be coming
time you need to be ready by
order for hair and make-up

The Stylist who does your trial is the stylist you will have on the day. You may speak with other team member when organising other aspects of your day.


We document all we speak about so you are sure that everything will run smoothly.
We work with Marley Hammond  and she offers airbushed make-up which is water and tear resistant. Great for wedding day make-up as it can last for up to and over 20 hours. She may start at a different time to us but we all work together to manage your and our time efficiently and effectively.

You can also book in salon services including hair colouring, treatments with scalp massage, tanning, nails, waxing and more. We are your one stop shop for all your hair and beauty needs for your wedding day.


On the day we travel to you. We travel anywhere! Free travel for Toowoomba with travel costs involved outside of Toowoomba. you can email us for a free travel quote. 

We arrive slightly before the
 start time to set up our equipment and heat our tools. We do ask that all your party members be ready when we arrive to ensure that the plan for the day runs smoothly. If this is not possible we ask you notify our team prior so we can take note to manage our time for the day.



Once we arrive we assess what styles for hair and what styles for make-up and decide who would go first. We leave the bride normally to second last if not last (depends on the hair length and style). We discuss this with you during your trial.



We allow all members of the party to check the styles we create and make any changes where needed. We sometimes suggest to leave while others have hair done, then come back to make adjustments so to have time to get used to style or hair to settle.


Ultimately it is the brides day and we always will check every minor detail with the bride for the final approval.

Prior to leaving we will ask if you would like us to attach your veil or to show your bridesmaids. 
We will soon have an instructional video on our you tube channel.

We also do a final check of all styles and leave extra pins for final touches. We then ask our bride if there was anything else that needed adjusting to confirm all our brides are happy with the end result!
We allow ample time for all parties so not to feel rushed, have time to eat and time to be dressed.
We are passionate about our work and enjoy our time at weddings and always enjoy having our brides relaxed and stress free by helping in any way we can.
