The tradition to wear a veil for a wedding came to us from our distant ancestors. If before it was a symbol of purity and tenderness, now it is still a more beautiful and relevant accessory, which is increasingly replaced with hats, bows or even refuse it altogether.

History

Wedding traditions, like many others, very often pass from generation to generation. The bride's veil is no exception. Our ancestors believed that it is a symbol of innocence and femininity, and also protects the bride from evil eyes and gossip, spoiling and conspiracies of envious persons. The veil of the bride was also used after the wedding. It was believed that it performs the function of an amulet not only before the wedding, but also after it. Mom hung it on the baby's cradle, when he was ill, or next to the crib. The brides tried to choose the longest veil, as it was believed that the longer it was, the happier the girl would be in a marriage. The classical color is white.

Choose a veil

Those girls who decided that they would be married in a veil, the advice given below will help in choosing it:

• Dress should be combined with a veil, so if your choice fell on material with any inserts or edging, then make sure that two things were in harmony with each other;
• The bridal veil of the bride can look perfect both in itself and Decorated with a wreath of flowers;
• When choosing a veil decorated with patterns, flowers, consider its length and volume: it should not be too lush and long, otherwise the ornament will not be visible;
• The color of the veil can be anything, except, of course, black, but it is necessary to approach the dress;
• If it is a two-layered or multi-layered veil, then it is worth giving preference to the material without any pattern;
• The length of the veil - this is purely individual, some prefer the classic version - to the floor, some - to the shoulders.

Cost

How much will the veil of the bride cost? The price will depend on several factors:

• Presence of drawings, patterns;
• Volume (1-, 2-, 3-tiered);
• Material (lace, synthetics and so on);
• length.

Pre-wedding signs

• Wear a veil only on your own, without outside help, since it is believed that people can transmit negative energy through it.
• To take off the veil should be the husband (if you are going to obey him and be "for" the husband), your mother-in-law (if you have a goal to get close to the relatives of the spouse) or yourself (if you are for equality in marriage).
• The bride's veil is fastened on a special rim, if not, use decorated studs for fixing.
• Passing your veil or giving a "lease" is not recommended. This marriage symbol should always remain with you. Unlike a wedding dress that can not be worn by another person, since the fate of the bride, who used to wear it, can be transferred, the veil given to other people's hands can bring trouble to the bride herself.
