Way back in history the wedding veil was
thought to be worn to protect the bride from evil spirits on her wedding day or
was symbolic of when a groom would throw a blanket over the head of the woman
of his choice when he captured her and carted her off. Another explanation is
that during the times of arranged marriages, the bride's face was covered until
the groom was committed to her at the ceremony. This tradition slowly evolved
into keeping the groom from seeing the bride until after they were married.
Today the wedding veil reflects the woman’s prerogative to be illusive, mysterious and wonderful!
