Fat is the main decoration of the bride. Our ancestors believed that the veil protects the bride from evil spirits and unkind views. In addition, the veil is still a symbol of integrity and submission to a future husband. It was also believed that the longer the veil, the happier the married life of the newlyweds.
In ancient Greece, it was customary to decorate the head with a yellow long veil. In ancient Rome - a red long veil. For brides from ancient Rome and Greece, the length of the veil was of particular importance - the veil closed the girl from head to foot, thereby protecting her.
Today, the long veil has not lost its popularity. The image of the bride with a long veil is filled with romance and royal majesty. Not to mention the fact that wedding hairstyles with a long veil look more luxurious.
Designers say that the length of the veil should be directly proportional to the officiality of the celebration - the more formal the wedding ceremony, the longer the bride's veil should be. For rich ceremonies with many guests it is worth choosing a long veil that goes into a train.
What can be a long veil?
A long veil can be of three types:
- straight;
- multilayered;
- with a long loop.
The longest veil of the bride can reach 3,5 meters, it is called "Cathedral". This model is usually worn with a dress that has a train. The peculiarity of the "Cathedral" is that it completely closes the back of the dress. Therefore, choosing a veil for a dress, it is worth considering.
The second version of the long wedding veil is the "Chapel", its length is 2.5 meters. This model of the veil gently falls down the dress, thereby forming a train. "Chapel" is an excellent option for formal celebrations or weddings.
For narrow long wedding dresses the third model of a long veil - "Waltz" is perfect. This model does not have a loop and it has a length up to the bride's heels.
Today, a long multi-layered veil is very popular among brides. It fits almost to any wedding party, except for a short dress. A particularly beautiful long multi-layered veil looks with a gorgeous dress.
A multi-layered veil can consist of two or three tiers of different lengths. The peculiarity of this model lies in its upper layer, it is the shortest and covers the face of the bride. Fata of several tiers is the longest lush veil.
Virtually all wedding hairstyles perfectly fit a long veil of several tiers.
A long veil with a train is a special accessory, for which helpers are needed. They will have to follow the bride and hold the edge of the train. Often the role of assistants is taken by children, they make the image of the bride incredibly tender and sensual. If on the wedding day you plan to travel a lot, then you should choose a veil with a train not longer than 0.5-1 meter from the edge of the wedding dress.
