Wedding and Bridal Veils

What Does Wearing a Veil at Your Wedding Mean?

Wearing a wedding veil on your big day can mean many different things. Traditionally, the bridal veil was a symbol of modesty and purity, in much the same way that the classic white bridal color stood for innocence. While your wedding veil can still mean those things to you, it could also be part of a family tradition. Many brides look forward to the moment that their fathers (or other chosen escorts) walk them down the aisle, lift up the short blusher wedding veil, then present them to the groom. This moment encapsulates the feeling of moving on from your old life to your new life as a spouse. Other brides embrace the timeless romantic vibes that both short and long wedding veils provide.
