Making Wedding Veils and other wedding Headpieces.
Variations of veils and headpieces have been worn by women in many cultures for hundreds of years. And of course, with many meanings behind them. This soft wedding day acessory and it’s cousins have historically represented virginity, modesty and protection from evil spirits. They can be a very meaningful part of the actual wedding ceremony. Everyone has seen movies in which the father of the Bride lifts her veil before presenting her to the Groom, or the version in which the Groom raises the it right before the kiss. Orthodox Jewish weddings actually include an entire ceremony just for the bridal covering , known as the “badeken“. Japanese brides wear a traditional head covering called a “tsuno kakushi”, which is meant to hide features such as the bride’s jealously, selfishness, etc. Tiaras and other wedding day crowns may have developed from back when the Bride and Groom sported wreaths of herbs and foliage (See Bouquets). These sparkling additions are now also commonly seen in today’s weddings. Most modern brides can determine if they would like to accessories their wedding day ensemble with any of these selections. Luckily for the majority, if these types of extras are not your style, they can be gracefully left out.
