A brief history of the bridal veil
The bridal veil probably originated as a way to ward off evil and protect the purity of the bride. There was an idea that she was vulnerable to enchantment, so she must be hidden from evil spirits. The Romans veiled brides in flame-colored veils to actually scare off those spirits. Also, in many religions, the veil is a sign of humility and respect before God during a religious ceremony.
The Victorians turned that reverence into a status symbol. During Victorian times, when archaic customs were formally incorporated into proper weddings, the weight, length, and quality of the veil were a sign of the bride's status. Royal brides had the longest veils and the longest trains.
In modern times, the tradition has become more of a finishing touch in wedding fashion. It's the icing on the cake, so to speak, that pulls together the hair and the dress.

Choosing a veil: 3 things to do
Set a budget
It is important to identify the sum of money that you can spend on the veil. You shouldn’t be surprised that a small piece of fabric can actually cost much more than you can imagine. Some veils may even cost more than the actual dress itself. Having an idea of what you can spend will help you narrow down your veil options.

Think about hairstyle
Este necesar să decideți în prealabil în privința coafurii, deoarece în funcție de coafură, locurile de fixare a voalului vor fi diferite. De exemplu, dacă este un coc, puteți fixa voalul în partea de jos, astfel încât coafura să rămână în centrul atenției. În ceea ce privește buclele, puteți fixa voalul pe creșteț pentru a adăuga volum. În orice caz, discutați acest subiect cu consultantul dvs. de nuntă, astfel încât acesta vă poate ajuta cu alegerea și să satisfacă așteptările dumneavoastră.
