Veils have come a long since probably your grandmother got married. I’ve come across at least four or five different purposes for them in tradition ranging from it symbolizing the bride’s purity to the act of lifting it symbolizing the husband taking ownership of his new wife. Whatever the reasons were they’re pretty much just for fashion these days. Of course there are cathedral veils that extend feet beyond the end of the dress and veils that are thick and end midway down the back. Though I hate that they’re called so, I’m really into the birdcage veils. At this point in 2011 I don’t like the idea of being hidden behind layers of fabric. I WANT TO BE SEEN!! Everyone knows its me under there. I think they frame the face very nicely and even in the smallness there are still a variety of options to choose from. Coupled with the right hair and makeup? Yes!
And apparently they are pretty easy to make so shop around Youtube.com for some DIY tips as well.
Something else I found to be pretty cool for any kind of veil is Save the Veil . They are these beautiful magnetic veil weights that decorate the veil, but also keep it from blowing in the wind because of an outdoor wedding or photographs. They are really pretty, come in four different options of Swarovski Crystal and Mother of Pearl. Cool idea.
