The veil to compose with the bride’s dress began to be worn in ancient Greece, when tradition dictated that this item protected the woman from the evil eye, as well as hiding her from other men, as a way of preserving innocence and her feminine purity. At that time, the size of the veil indicated the bride’s purchasing power and family influence in society. Today, the prop can also symbolize femininity and protection, but the choice of which to wear in the bond is more related to the personality of the protagonist and the style of the ceremony.

In this article we gather keywords on fabric, embroidery, size and model, and specify the type of wedding decoration and dress style that match each veil. See which is ideal for you!
