VEIL OR NO VEIL?
Traditionally Veils have been a part of wedding ceremonies for centuries dating back to ancient Roman Times when wedding veils were said to ward off bad spirits that preyed on brides-to-be. In many religions veils were also a sign of humility and respect before God during a religious ceremony. The tradition in today's society has become more of a finishing touch in wedding fashion, a stunning accessory that enhances the beauty of the bride and completes the hair and gown.
A veil is delicate and is meant to be worn on your wedding day. After you have put on your wedding dress and have added the veil, that is the very moment when you feel like you have transformed into an official bride. Wearing a veil can definitely make it look as if you’re wearing two different wedding gowns, once your ceremony has finished and your veil has come off, that is when your wedding gown is shown off to its fullest.
A simple guide to choosing your wedding veil, if your wedding gown has extra detailing, with lace or embroidery, it is best if you choose a simple veil. Whilst, if your gown is simple, it would be ideal to pick a veil with stunning detailing.
