Although it's an ancient tradition to wear them, NY Bridal Stores still getasked today for bridal veils. But what is the significance of wearing a veilon your wedding day?

Veils origins are in eastern cultures where it was customary for practicalreasons to shield the face from wind sand and sun. There were also modestyissues taken into consideration and the need for women to cover their facesin environments where a husband could actually be killed if he had abeautiful wife!

There is also an element of surprise here too, particularly in the case ofarranged unions. Oftentimes the groom would not see his bride until the dayof the marriage, so the revealing of her face must have been a very poignantmoment indeed.
