Finding the Perfect Veil
Are you looking for the right wedding veil for you? Why not ask the advice of a wedding celebrant or a wedding professional… We get to see them in action all the time.
Why is finding the perfect veil so significant you may ask? The use of a veil is now commonly only worn as a simple accessory in order to express a bride’s personal taste. But the history of the veil traces all the way back to Rome in 1400 BC, where a bride wore a veil over her as she walked down the aisle in order to disguise herself from any evil spirits who wanted to prevent her from happiness.
Not only is the veil regarded very differently from what it was back then, but the style of it has also significantly changed. As a wedding celebrant you are used to seeing the traditional sheer white fabric draped over the bride but in ancient times veils were red to allow the bride to be distinguished from the from other women. The veil is a very important part of your bridal outfit and getting wedding advice on it is vital in order for your outfit to come together.
Inspiration for veils can be found just about everywhere but my advice as a marriage celebrant is to look on Pinterest. This allows you to look at hundreds of options and can help discover that perfect veil. When searching for the ideal veil you want one that represents your personality and is to your taste because your veil is that final touch to your bridal outfit that brings the whole look together.
There are many things that need to be taken into consideration when choosing your veil. Factors such as length, style and budget are all factors that need to be considered when finding your perfect veil. Specifically, the length and style of your veil is important as it can help enhance a bride’s looks, while also complementing the dress. Various styles and lengths include birdcage veil, blusher veil, elbow length veil, fingertip length veil, ballet length veil, chapel length veil, cathedral length veil, Juliet cap veil, mantilla, double tier veil and drop veil.
Each of these styles and lengths can bring a unique element to your dress and each of these veils can be made personal by the bride. As a marriage celebrant in Sydney, you see so many different variations of the veil, and they all reflect the bride’s style and personality. While your veil may seem insignificant on the day of your wedding, it plays a major part of the ceremony when it is lifted above the bride’s head.
The lifting of your veil can be done at any time but is commonly done before your wedding vows as the bride arrives at the groom’s side. As a bride your veil should be personal to you and hold significant value and can be done in an affordable way. Having a budget is vital when searching for your perfect veil, because your veil does not have to be an expensive transaction. From DIY to high end veils, it doesn’t matter as long it’s personal to you and reflects you as a person.
