Every Ofrenda veil is made to be worn with ease, but the way it secures will vary depending on the style, shape, and desired look. Below is a guide to help you understand each attachment option.
Comb With Gathering
Best for: classic veils with volume at the crown.
This option includes a metal comb sewn directly into the veil with soft gathering at the top. The gathering creates natural volume and helps the veil sit securely in the hair.
To wear:
Slide the comb gently into the hairstyle at the crown or back of the head, depending on where you want the veil to fall. For extra hold, your hairstylist can anchor the comb with bobby pins.
This is the most traditional attachment option and works beautifully with updos, half-up styles, and softly styled loose hair.
Comb Without Gathering, Mantilla Style
Best for: lace veils, mantillas, and styles meant to lie flat.
This option includes a comb sewn into the veil without gathering, allowing the fabric or lace to fall smoothly over the head. It creates a flatter, more romantic mantilla-inspired look.
To wear:
Place the veil gently over the head, then slide the comb into the hair where you want the veil to sit. The veil should lie softly against the head without added volume at the top.
This option is ideal for styles where the lace edge or embroidery is meant to frame the face or fall naturally around the body.
Satin Ties for a Juliet Cap Look
Best for: veils worn close to the head, with a soft vintage-inspired shape.
Some veils can be finished with ties instead of a comb to create a Juliet cap effect. The ties allow the veil to wrap softly around the head and secure at the nape or underneath the hair.
To wear:
Place the veil over the head and position it where you want the cap shape to begin. Tie the ribbons gently at the nape of the neck or underneath the hair. Your hairstylist can add discreet pins for extra security.
This option creates a more sculptural, romantic look and works especially well with lace-trimmed veils or soft tulle styles.
Comb Shipped Separately
Best for: brides who want flexibility with placement or styling.
For some veils, the comb can be shipped separately instead of sewn in. This allows you or your hairstylist to decide the exact placement during your hair trial or wedding day styling.
How to use:
Your stylist can sew the comb into the veil once the final placement is chosen, or secure the veil temporarily with pins depending on the style and hair design.
This option is especially helpful if you are unsure where you want the veil to sit, or if the veil will be worn in a more custom way.
Plain Blusher Add-On
Best for: adding a simple face-covering layer while keeping the veil clean and minimal.
A plain blusher is made from the same continuous piece of fabric as the veil. It is not a separate layer, but an extension of the veil itself that folds softly over the face during the ceremony and can be lifted back afterward.
To wear:
The blusher should fall gently over the face without pulling or tension. After the ceremony, it can be lifted back over the head, creating a soft layered effect while remaining part of the same veil.
This option is ideal for brides who want a traditional blusher moment with a clean, understated finish.
Embellished Blusher Add-On
Best for: adding a more detailed ceremony moment while keeping the design fully integrated.
An embellished blusher is also made from the same continuous piece of fabric as the veil. The embellishment follows the design of the veil, creating a seamless extension rather than a separate add-on.
To wear:
Place the blusher carefully so the embellishment falls as intended when worn over the face. After the ceremony, it can be lifted back over the head, allowing the decorated section to become part of the overall veil design.
This option is ideal for brides who want the blusher to feel intentional, cohesive, and fully connected to the veil’s original design.
General tips
We recommend bringing your veil to your hair trial so your stylist can test placement, height, and security before the wedding day.
Most veils can be secured with a combination of combs and discreet bobby pins.
For heavier or embellished veils, extra pins may be needed to support the weight comfortably.
Always handle the veil gently when inserting or removing combs, especially if the piece includes lace, embroidery, pearls, or delicate tulle.
In our latest artist collaboration, Dorian Ulises López Macías captures our veils inhabiting ordinary spaces in Mexico City. Removed from its familiar realm of romance and weddings, the veil is surrounded by the city’s contradictions and unexpected beauty. It encounters a raw physical reality and imposes a sacred order upon the chaos.
What happens to an object so charged with symbolism when it leaves the ritual that contains it? Does it carry its meaning with it, or was its meaning only the place it occupied? A true symbol does not point away from the thing. It lives within the thing itself, in its material existence and in the way we experience or use it. Its meaning is not elsewhere. It is there.
Mexico City is built upon symbols and chaos. Here, the sacred and the ordinary exist so close together that almost anything can become ritual. The city receives the veil without asking it to explain itself. It is not emptied of meaning, but neither does it remain unchanged. It feels foreign and yet strangely familiar. It carries one reality into another, abstract as an idea and immediate as a physical truth.
En nuestra más reciente colaboración artística, Dorian Ulises López Macías captura nuestros velos habitando espacios cotidianos de la Ciudad de México. Fuera de la familiaridad del romance y las bodas, el velo existe rodeado por las contradicciones y la belleza inesperada de la Ciudad. Se enfrenta al rigor de la realidad física e impone un orden sagrado sobre el caos.
¿Qué le sucede a un objeto tan cargado de simbolismo cuando abandona el ritual que lo contiene? ¿Lleva consigo su significado o acaso su significado no era más que el lugar que ocupaba? Un verdadero símbolo no remite a algo más allá del objeto. Vive en el objeto mismo, en su existencia material y en la manera en que lo experimentamos. Su significado no está en otro lugar. Está ahí.
La Ciudad de México está construida sobre símbolos y caos. Aquí, lo sagrado y lo cotidiano coexisten tan íntimamente que casi cualquier cosa puede convertirse en ritual. La ciudad recibe al velo sin pedirle explicación. No se vacía de significado, pero tampoco permanece igual. Se siente ajeno y, sin embargo, extrañamente familiar. Entra en una realidad llevando otra consigo. Abstracto como una idea, inmediato como una verdad física.
