History and significance of wedding veils explored
The Evolution of Wedding Veils
Wedding veils have a rich history dating back to ancient Rome and Greece. Originally symbolizing modesty and purity, their significance has evolved over time. Queen Victoria's 1840 wedding popularized white wedding dresses and veils in Western culture.
Today, brides wear veils for various reasons, including tradition, elegance, and as a symbol of transition to married life. The accessory comes in diverse styles, from small birdcage veils to dramatic cathedral veils, often customized to match the wedding dress.
