Veils Through The Ages
Wedding veils have long been a classical hallmark of weddings and are said to the oldest part of the bridal ensemble. They were once worn to represent untouched maidens and also to hide her away from evil spirits. Nowadays, the bridal veil creates a sense of drama and elegance as well as providing those amazing magazine quality photo opportunities!
Over the ages veils have changed shapes and designs, with cap veils popular in the 1920s, birdcage veils in the 1940s, extravagant and volumous veils in the 1980s and the minimalist veil returning in the 2000s. No matter the look, the veil has always been a statement and will continue through time.
