Don't panic - there are plenty of options! I would say, keep trying your low bun idea, it's classy and if its not working out - try tweeking it slightly with different elements. A bit higher, more to the back of the head, a large flower, a smaller flower, a clip, jewels, leaving it loose and lightly curl parts. You'd be amazed how much you can be put off by one practise.
Other options include a low bun at the back with a flower clip in one side - elegant and simple to do and doesn't take away from your veil.
You may also want to look at a half-pony at the back of the head. Though it doesn't sound like much, you can curl parts, leave bits at the front down to frame your face and add elements like jewels to it. Failing that it is a great way to attach a veil.
The best way to find a hairstyle that suits you is to flick through some hair/bridal magazines and then have a pracitise with some straighteners/curlers and plenty of hair sprays/protectors and volumising products.It might sound simple but sometimes sitting in front of the mirror and altering an existing style is how some of the best are invented. You may even spot something while walking down the highstreet - keep your eyes peeled for inspiration and the faith you'll find something! =)
