ALL VEILS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL – Let’s Talk Veil Combs!

Okay my girl, let’s have a real talk about veils—because your veil moment should be iconic, not a struggle bus. And trust me, when it comes to veil combs, there’s a whole world out there you didn’t know you needed to navigate!

I’ve worked with over 400+ brides, and one thing is clear: the comb matters so much more than you think. From staying power to comfort to style—it all starts at the base. So let’s break it down: plastic vs. metal combs, and what size you should actually be using.

Plastic vs. Metal Comb—Which One Reigns Supreme?

Holy moly guacamole—there are so many veil options out there, but one thing I can tell you without hesitation?

Metal combs win every time.

I’m a metal comb veil girl, hands down. Why? Because they are:

• Durable

• Lightweight

• Moldable to your hairstyle

• And they grip like a dream!

Trust me when I say: your veil will not be falling out mid-aisle with a good metal comb. Plastic combs, on the other hand? Girl, they don’t bend, don’t hold, and give me stress. I’ve seen it too many times—veil falling out even after I’ve loaded your hair up with bobby pins. Not the vibe. I promise: metal is better! YAY!

Does Comb Size Matter? YES, Girl, It Does!

You wouldn’t believe how many comb sizes exist. I’ve seen some with 10 teeth, others with 30 (yikes—way too big). So yes, size totally matters.

Here are my comb WINNERS:

• 10 teeth – Size: 1.5” by 1.38”

• 15 teeth – Size: 2.2” by 1.4” or 3” wide

These sizes are perfect for grip, comfort, and a seamless tuck into your bridal hairstyle. Anything larger can be clunky and hard to work with—especially if you have a sleek or soft-textured look.

The Bottom Line

Your veil isn’t just a beautiful accessory—it’s a part of your entire bridal moment. And that moment deserves to be flawless. Choosing the right comb (metal, not plastic!) in the right size is key to making sure your veil stays put and looks amazing from aisle to after-party.

If you’re still unsure what veil or comb style is best for you, don’t worry—I got you. Let’s find you a veil that looks fab and feels secure.

Because girl… all veils are not created equal.
