Hair opinions!

I want to do my hair lower on my head but still up and was wondering what do you think would look better, veil on top of the updo, or under?  I would take it off at the reception and maybe put a daisy in my hair after it comes off.  Below are some of my hair inspirations, what do you think?

TIA!

A single cymbidium orchid accented Susan’s hair, which she wore pulled back and pinned into curls.



Anne had her usual stylist create her wedding day look. "I have stick-straight, fine hair and she curled all of it into waves and pinned it into a low updo that perfectly matched the style of my dress," Anne explains. She accented the style with custom-made hairpins using the same pearls and crystals that were used in the earrings and bracelet she wore.

    I personally prefer the veil over the hair do.  My friend had hers below and it was a real PIA to take out for the reception.  That may have just been how the hairdresser put it in though.  Anyway, I like both your hair inspirations.  It'll look very pretty.

    I wore mine on top over my hair but wore my hair half up.  I personally like it bettter under if keeping it on for the reception but if you're planning to take it off placing it on top will look pretty for the ceremony.  Your stylist can show you how to take it out gently if you choose to wear it underneath.

    I think over would be nice.

    I'm an under fan myself, but I know that isn't helping your decision :)  Love the styles though!

    I am a fan of over.  My hair inspiration was the last picture you have posted.  I wore a flower in my hair along with my simple veil during the ceremony.  As you can see I wore the flower off to the side and the veil was put in over "bun" at the back where the inspiration has the hair pin.  We tried it under during my hair trial but it wasn't giving the same effect I was interested in for the ceremony and pictures. 

    Good Luck!

    I am a fan of under with low buns like the ones you are looking at.

    I think over if you're going to do a 'do that low on your head. 
    I did under, but mine was up a little higher than your inspiration pics.

    Thanks everyone!  I'm leaning towards over a this point because my veil has a bit of beading on the edge and when I tried it on it showed more over...but I'll definitely play around with it at my hair trial!
