What are the combs like on your classic wedding veils?
In short
Our classic veils have a silver plated metal comb about 7.5cm wide. Metal is sturdier than plastic and holds more securely in your hair. Slide the comb in, then pin across it with two bobby pins through the comb loops.
We often get asked what the combs are like on our veils. We use silver plated metal combs, about 7.5cm wide. Metal combs are sturdier than plastic ones and hold more securely in your hair.
Combs on our single tier and two tier veils
This is how we attach the comb on our classic single tier and two tier veils.
Combs on our drop veils
Our drop veils use the same silver plated comb, wrapped in ribbon to match your hair colour, so the veil looks as if it floats in your hair.
Mantilla and Juliet cap veils have slightly different attachments.
Keeping the comb in place
Slide the comb in, then pin across it with two bobby pins through the comb loops. If you are wearing your hair down, our guide to wearing a veil with your hair down shows several ways to anchor it.
Your questions
How wide is the comb on a Britten veil?
Our combs are silver plated metal and about 7.5cm wide.
How do I keep the comb in place if I do my own hair?
Slide the comb in, then pin across it with two bobby pins through the comb loops. If your hair is down, our hair-down guide shows several ways to anchor it.
Will the comb show on a drop veil?
Our drop veils use the same comb wrapped in ribbon to match your hair colour, so the veil looks as if it floats in your hair. It can still be slightly visible, and wearing it a little further back on your head helps.
My comb does not grip my hair. Can I adjust it?
Our combs are made flexible, so you can bend the teeth gently to get a better grip. A hidden ponytail or backcombing underneath gives the comb something to hold.
