The Wedding Veil: A Tradition that Triumphed Through Changing Times | Lifetyme Photo & Video

The wedding veil is timeless. Simple, elegant and beautiful, brides wear them to complete their look with their perfect dress. But a veil is so much more than just an accessory. For centuries, brides have worn them on the most important day of their lives.

The wedding veil tradition started in Ancient Rome and Greece when marriages were typically arranged. They were worn as protection from evil spirits and to hide their face from the groom until the appropriate moment during the ceremony. Veils used to come in bright and bold colors; they were rarely white until culture evolved and symbols changed. The color white represents purity and goodness, and that’s how every bride wants to look on her special day.

Modern brides have taken a fashionable approach to the wedding veil. There are different lengths and different shades of white, some are beaded and some have lace. Our brides always look effortlessly beautiful, and the simplicity of a veil compliments that so well.
