Wedding day attire has changed in manyways, but one component of getting dressed upfor a wedding that has withstood the test oftime is the wearing of a wedding veil.
Though many brides know it is tradition towear a bridal veil, many do not understandwhy. Here is a look at the history behind theveil and why it is continued to be worn today.
The veil and the bouquet that a bride carriesmay predate the wearing of white. Althoughthere is no definitive reason for the wearing of aveil, many surmise it has to do with ancientGreeks and Romans’ fear of evil spirits anddemons. In fact, this is where many of the bridaltraditions actually come from, includingbridesmaids wearing similar dresses in order toserve as decoys for the bride. In an effort tofrighten away or disguise the bride from evilspirits, brides-to-be were dressed in brightlycolored fabrics like red and obscured by a veil.But in many cases, the veil prevented the bridefrom seeing well. That is why her father oranother person “gave her away.” He wasactually escorting her down the aisle so shewouldn’t bump or trip into anything. The veilalso served as a method of shielding the bride’sface from her future husband, especially in thecases of arranged marriages.
Superstition has it that it is bad luck for thegroom to see the bride prior to the wedding. A
veil hiding her face also ensured that the groomwould not see his soon-to-be-betrothed up untilthe ceremony.
Eventually the meaning behind the veiltransformed as weddings evolved into religiousceremonies. The veil came to symbolizemodesty and obedience. In many religions it isseen as a symbol of reverence for women tocover their heads. When white wedding dresseswere worn to symbolize chastity, the white veilfollowed suit.
There are others who say that before theadvent of shampoo, people didn’t wash theirhair as often and it could get quite dirty. Theveil may have been a method to covering upunsightly hair.
Regardless of the origins, veils continue to besported by today’s brides, who choose from afew different styles. A flyaway is a short veil thatends at the shoulders, while a sweep veil endsat the floor. Chapel and cathedral veils followthe bride at a significant length (nine and 12feet, respectively). A blusher is a very short veilthat covers just the bride’s face as she enters theceremony. With a fingertip veil, the veil reachesthe bride’s waist and brushes at her fingertips.
The veil will coordinate with the style of thegown, and many wedding attire consultantssuggest choosing the gown prior to theheadpiece and veil.
