My younger sister is currently living overseas and will not be back until a month before her wedding. She would like a hairstyle that is half up and half down - similar to some of the hairstyles of the Melissa Sweet model (particularly the photo of the model standing in front of a bathtub). However, the model in the photo is not wearing a tiara or a veil. What would go well (veil, tiara) with that hairstyle and how would you arrange them? She hasn’t decided if she wants a tiara or not, but if she did, I’m not sure where it would be placed on her head.
I've attached a photo of her dress (but that's not her in the dress). Since she won't be here until just a few weeks before the wedding, she is having to make a lot of these decisions without being able to try things on and experiment.
Thanks so much for your help! Shannon

An update: My sister has decided that she does want a veil of some sort. She also said that if there is a way to make it fit in and look nice, that she might like a tiara as well.
She will have half of her hair pulled loosely up. With the veil, should it attach just above where the top half of her hair (the part pulled up) all comes together? If you have any thoughts about pros/cons of using a tiara with that hairstyle, we'd love to hear those as well! She does plan to find a stylist to do her hair that day but we have to make the decisions of what veil to buy and what tiara (if any) to buy before she has a chance to try them out and experiment with how they will look. This "buy before we try" thing is new to all of us so we REALLY appreciate any advice you have!

Melissa Sweet has the best ads. I'd say that 75% of the brides that we see are bringing in the same picture for their hair look as well. Here are some suggestions and considerations that we tell our brides...
For the veil: Your sister needs to think about how much of the veil she wants to be seen from the front. You can place the veil more toward the back (where the hair is gathered) or she can have it more in the middle of her head. If the veil is in the middle of her head it will look fuller and will be more visible from the front for a more traditional look. Whereas if she places it more toward the back the veil will be partcially seen. Guests will know she is wearing one it just a softer look. In my opinion since the hair style that she wants is soft and romantic looking I suggest wearing the veil more toward the back of her hair where it will be gathered.
The headpiece:Picking out the perfect headpiece is like the veil...does she want the headpiece to be seen from the front or not? A tiara or headband would be visible from the front and side. Hair accessories like hair pins/sticks and combs make a statement from the back. Since you had mentioned that she wants a tiara. I reccommend placing it in the middle of her hair between her hair line and where the hair is gathered and the veil is. Again, this is my opinion, but I suggest a headband verse a tiara. Since your sister's hair is going to be loosely pulled back (which is very popular) a beautiful headband would compliment the romantic hair style. She shouldn't place it like a traditional head band (not like a school girl) but more at an angle like a tiara would be. Head bands are super trendy and the "new tiara" for brides.

Adrianne,
Your hair absolutely does not have to be pulled up on your wedding day! Wearing your hair down, with soft curls just happens to be very popular this year. The look is beautiful and romantic, and if wearing your hair down is what you like the best go for it! Lori of ModelBride.com http://www.modelbride.com
