Understanding the Bridal Veil
A Glimpse into Tradition
For centuries, up until the late 12th century, wearing veils was a widespread custom among Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman married women. Unmarried girls went without them. These veils covered the hair, neck, and chin, serving a practical purpose by protecting women's skin from wind and sun damage. However, by the 15th century, hoods became fashionable, and veils gradually fell out of favor.
Symbolism and Historical Context
Traditionally, brides wore their hair flowing down their backs on their wedding day to symbolize virginity. Today, the white veil often represents purity. The bridal veil's origins may trace back to mythology; for instance, Ishtar, the ancient Goddess of Love, emerged from the depths to meet her beloved, shrouded in vapors "like a veil." Additionally, the custom of the blusher veil emerged after the biblical tale of Jacob being misled into marrying Leah instead of his beloved Rachel, hidden under a full veil.
Evolution Over Time
The 19th century's invention of the wide loom and silk tulle provided women with delicate coverings that enhanced their beauty. The veil became a symbol of modesty, privacy, youth, and virginity. Traditionally, only a first-time bride would wear a veil as part of the wedding etiquette.
Styling the Veil
Your bridal veil should perfectly complement your wedding gown. Popular colors include white, diamond white, and ivory. Diamond white is a fantastic choice if your gown has a sheen.
The act of lifting the veil at the ceremony's conclusion has symbolic meanings. Traditionally, it signifies male dominance. However, if the bride takes the initiative to lift the veil herself, it reflects her independence.
The Final Touch
White bridal veils symbolize the bride's purity and modesty. Beyond this, they add a finishing touch to the wedding dress and beautifully frame the bride's face.
