HISTORY OF THE BRIDAL VEIL

The bridal veil has a rich and varied history extending back as far as the bible and the story of Jacob tricked into marrying the older and less pretty Leah, who wore a heavy veil, instead of the younger prettier sister Rachel, his one true love.

In the times of the Roman empire veils were used to ward off evil spirits during the union of marriage.

There are many choices when it comes to bridal veils. You can choose to have single, double, or triple layering. You can choose the length of the veil, the type of edging to the veil and also whether to include additional accents such as scattered crystals, pearl drops etc.

Types of veil;

Shoulder length

Elbow length

Finger tip length

Floor length

Cathedral length

Mantilla (all lace or heavy lace edging originating from Spain)

BLUSHER

This is the name given to the part of the veil that is brought forward over the face for the ceremony, and then lifted back at the end of the union.

It is entirely upto you whether to have a blusher and somewhat depends on your hair style and wear the veil will be positioned.
