The Bridal Veil and its Past
One of the oldest bridal practices is the bridal veil. The use of the bridal veil is one of the oldest practices during ceremonies. Along with the oldest bridal customs, wearing a bridal veil is still evident. It still remains esteemed by brides that the veil is part of the plan when they have their bridal dresses designed. It has been long believed that the veil keeps away the evil spirits to keep her safe until she unites with her husband. The veil is used to symbolise the bride’s purity and integrity. Through this, she assures the husband and his family that she is decent. During the ceremony, the meaning of lifting the veil aside from presenting her to the family is letting the groom have ownership over his wife.
