Apart from choosing a wedding dress for your big day, many of you are faced with another important task – choosing the perfect veil for your dress. Have you ever wondered about how the tradition of wearing this accessory came to life in the first place? Who were the first women to incorporate the first veil in their wedding outfit?
Let us go back a few hundreds years. More precisely, let us look back to the ancient Romans and Greeks, because that is exactly when we see our first reports of the veil. The main reason why the ancient brides were wearing a veil on their wedding day was not fashion forward thinking, but merely superstition. The common belief was that the veil would serve as a protector from evil spirits. Another fun fact that remains up until this day was that the groom was not supposed to see the bride before the wedding and the veil served as a the perfect cover up.
Nowadays, these superstitions are not as strict as in the olden days. It is therefore solely up to if you choose to wear the veil or not. Many brides see it as a beautiful accessory that creates an ethereal majestic look, while others see it as an echo of the old times or just don’t feel comfortable wearing one, which is okay. It is your big day and therefore it is up to you to decide what to wear or not.
