3- Layered Hijab - The Ultimate Touch of Luxury
Comfort, fashion, style and elegance are exhibited all at one with this layered hijab style. Although this hijab style seems difficult, in reality it's super easy to create and convenient to carry. This hijab style is quite popular among girls for both casual and formal looks.

Now take the other side, cover the neck area and wrap it again for an additional layer. Now add a third layer and secure it with pins. You can leave it here or add more layers, depending on your needs and face shape.
If you want to make it even more aesthetic, use two different scarves for this look. For that, first take a hijab of the same color as your wedding attire, cover your head with it and then add the second layer of scarf in contrasting color. You can also add a few more contrasting layers for a royal look.
4- Hijab with Dupatta | Traditional Hijab in Modern Style
Using a dupatta for covering your hair instead of a short scarf, is a popular and traditional style among Pakistani brides.Since bridal dupatta is very heavy due to embroidery and beads, it might slip off your head again and again. To ensure a secure and comfortable hijab, you can couple it with a plain silk scarf. For this style, tie a silk scarf around your face and secure it with pins. Now wear a dupatta on top of a silk hijab for a traditional bridal look. Wearing conventional wedding jewelry like tikka and jhoomar matha patti will elevate its grace further. In this style of hijab, it is important to have a scarf which matches your suit perfectly as contrast colors might not be a good fit.
5- Turkish Style Hijab | the Super-Simple Style
When it comes to bridal hijab style, Turkish hijabs have always been in trend. To achieve this stunning appearance, take a long rectangular scarf preferably in silk, and cover your head. Make sure one side is longer than the other. Now take the longer side and tuck it under your chin and cover your front with it. Lastly, secure the scarf at the back with beautiful pins. You can also wear a dupatta over this to create a traditional bridal look.
Do’s of the Bridal Hijab
Wearing a hijab at your wedding can be demanding and choosing a hijab that is easy to handle is crucial. Here is your list of do’s to help you slay on your big day.
While you are selecting your hijab color and size, be mindful of picking the most suitable hijab fabric that is both stylish and comfortable. Choose a very lightweight, comfortable and flowy hijab fabric to compliment your style.
Some lightweight fabrics such as silk are more desirable for Turkish style hijab.Avoid using any thick fabric at all cost, as this hijab covers the neck but its thick fabric will make it unbreathable.
Georgette or chiffon are the best choice for hijabs styles where you want to give volume. They usually require an under-cap to stick in their place but are comfortable and stay anchored once they are fixed properly. Moreover, they are a wonderful choice for turban style hijabs and layered hijab as they tend to highlight layers beautifully. For turban styles you can also use a hijab with embroidered crown area to give it a majestic appearance.
The Don’ts of Bridal Hijab
Wearing a hijab that is too tight on your big day can break your look. Since the bridal dresses are already heavy along with overly heavy jewelry, wearing a tight fitting hijab will make them look more unpleasant while making you very uncomfortable.
Wearing a very short scarf will not only leave your hair uncovered, but will keep slipping, thereby requiring frequent adjustment. This way you will be constantly engaged with correcting it. Consequently, this will make you feel uncomfortable and will lower your confidence on your big day. Significantly, in order to avoid this hassle, it is of utmost importance to measure the fabric of your scarf whenever you make a purchase and try it at home prior to wearing it on your big day.
Wearing a hijab with scarves too long is also a big NO-NO. Bridal dresses are way too heavy, along with heavy bridal jewelry and make up, therefore, for brides it becomes very difficult to carry your attire with a long flowy hijab. For this reason, it is crucial to purchase your hijab in accurate length while also trying them on with jewelry at least once or twice before the function.
It is important to secure your hijab for ultimate comfort regardless of the amount of embellished pins required in the procedure.
