Wedding veils are worn at weddings in different ways but all have something in common, they have to be fixed to the hair somehow in order to give the appearance of a bride appearing trough a water cascade.
The wedding veils were also hanged by a hair pin that was passed trough a ring of metal. The veil was raped around the ring and pin in such a manner that half of the veil will hand over the face of the bride and the other will hang over her back.
