I saw this incredible motivation story about the different styles of dresses and veils since the 1900s. It was so amazing to see how fashion changes, but it’s only 1 or 2 decades that they left the veil out.
In all my years of being a wedding photographer, veils are something I’ve always been obsessed by. They date back to ancient Roman times where they were worn as a symbol of entering a new stage of life as the veil was lifted from the brides face. The veil can also symbolise reverence, humility, family heritage and the sacred nature of the marriage ceremony. Of course some wear one because of aesthetics and fashion, but I love that there is such a deeper meaning to it. 🤍
