So as we know, most brides wear a veil, but why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The veil was introduced as a wedding tradition when people \u201cwrapped brides from head to toe to represent the delivery of a modest and untouched maiden\u201d, which was supposedly meant to \u2018hide away from evil spirits who might want to thwart her happiness.\u201d However, for those who do not believe in evil spirits, the veil is seen as an accessory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Queen Victoria<\/a><\/strong> was the first modern monarch to marry in a veil; this was the moment that defined brides for centuries to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1920 \u2013 When dropped-waist flapper gowns paired with short bob hairstyles were on-trend, brides during the 1920s usually opted for a Juliet Cap to complement their style. A Juliet Cap veil was often worn with long statement accessories that were edged with ornate beading and\/or intricate lace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1930 \u2013 Although the Juliet Cap continued to be popular throughout the 1930s, it became much more delicate. Wedding dress styles became sleeker and more fitted, with less emphasis on heavy lace. In terms of veils, they became much daintier, less tulle, less embellishment and more refined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
