Wedding Veil Meanings
While there is no specific symbolism behind the wedding veil, many believe it was worn to signify the bride’s virginity. Some believe the wedding veil dates back to the Greek or Roman mythology that a bride wore it to ward off evil spirits during her wedding vows. In Ancient times they used a veil, or a ‘flammeum’, to disguise the bride from head to toe in order to shield her from the said evil spirits – and no, it was not white but instead red! While the act of unveiling a bride was meant to symbolize the changing of hands in which the groom assumed responsibility for the bride from the father. Over the years the wedding veil’s archaic meanings were lost. It became more of a bridal accessory and usually worn in white to match the bride’s dress.
