Hijab Styles For A Wedding Day

Hijabs are worn to cover a Muslim women's head and hair.


A hijab is a head covering that is worn by women in the Muslim community everyday, whether it is a regular day or their wedding day. A hijab is not only a head covering, but it is also a style of dress. Since most modern Muslim weddings are gender mixed, hijabs are even more essential as they allow the women to enjoy and celebrate the event, while keeping their religious dignity. Hijabs allow both the spouses to enjoy and incorporate their culture and tradition in their special day. Hijabs also allow the bride to incorporate modesty in her wedding dress and covers the bride's hair, neck, ears and chest area.


Elaborate Hijab


For an ornate wedding, an elaborate hijab is ideal. An elaborate hijab involves a long, modest covering which utilizes lace and jewels to decorate the fabric. Usually the hijab covers the hair, but for an ornate wedding, the bride can collect her hair in a bun with many pieces of thick and overlapping lace. The lace will help cover all the hair and add a decorative aspect to the wedding hairdo. Pull the lace over all of her hair and her ears, and secure the arrangement with a jeweled or sparkly clip. In addition to the lace, the bride can add a veil of any color to her outfit. The veil should be added under the hijab, allowing it to trail down her back as she walks down the isle. The hijab can also be incorporated with the rest of the outfit. The wedding outfit can be covered or outlined with lace and beading and pearls matching the hijab, which will catch the light and make the hijab a beautiful part of the wedding dress.


Pretty Hijab


For a decorated and colorful wedding, a pretty hijab is ideal. Start by pulling your hair in a bun or a ponytail and wrap your hair and head with a scarf. To decorate the scarf, add some barrettes, which will not only enhance the beauty of the scarf but will also help you secure your scarf to the head. You could also add a broach to the front part of the hijab, near your chest. The broach will give a unified look to the wedding dress, by adjoining the scarf to the rest of the dress.


Simple Hijab


For a small and simple wedding, a simple hijab is ideal. Use a nice piece of lightweight silk and a lace combination to wrap your hair. In a simple hijab where no decoration is added, the styling of the scarf is very important. Wind your scarf around your head and face in an elegant way that outlines your face and as wells as covers your hair in a proper way.


Cultural Based Hijab


Wedding day hijab's can also be culture specific. For instance, the Egyptian hijab involves two pieces of cloth. One piece is the long wedding hijab which is wrapped around the head and face. The other piece is placed on top of the head and is long and runs down the dress. Both the pieces are joined together at the forehead to give it a cohesive look.
