Different Types Of Veil

Have you decided to use a veil but you don't know what size choose?. Don't worry, i'm going to explain you the different types of veil that exist in the market and which is the most appropriate choice.

Shoulder length: This style of veil is the extended version of the bouffant veil, sitting below the shoulder, reaching up to the armpit of the bride. It totally depends entirely on the choice of the bride, which veil she wants to use on the wedding day.

Blusher: The incorrect conception is that the blusher is a bouffant or the shoulder length veil. However, blusher is the piece of veil that covers the face only. Blusher can be attached to any type of veil. Or the other way round, the bride may decide not have a blusher at all. A blusher is generally 18 inches in length.

Elbow lenght: The veil falling just at the elbow is also considered as a short length veil and looks very pretty in young brides in twenties with strapless wedding gown. Fingertip length:this type of veil ends at the fingertips of the bride. It suits brides of all ages and with all type of wedding gowns. Fingertip veil is more suitable for the brides on the heavier side, if they are keen on shorter length veil.

Waltz length: This model was very popular in 1800's and 1920, they are very classic and elegant. The veil falls to touch the floor or just an inch above the floor, according to the length of the wedding gown. This veil will accentuate the femininity in you.

Chapel length: This is classic, elegant and sophisticated. As per the tradition, the length of the veil must be similar to the train of the wedding gown. However, it is not hard and fast rule. In fact, 108 inches in length, the chapel veil creates a soft romantic and graceful look, even if the gown falls pretty well on the floor without a train.

Cathedral length: 144 inches long, cathedral veil is one of the most elegant and classic yet cumbersome type of veils considering the length of it. The bride needs the help of the bridesmaids to lift it while walking and to place it while standing or getting the pictures clicked. The modern brides prefer shorter veils to be comfortable throughout the ceremony to enjoy the most special day of their lives. But, if you can carry it, cathedral veil is the most picture perfect and beautiful veil to wear it on your wedding. It's very typical to find it in royal weddings.

The Veil

Before introducing in the world of the veil, we are going to discover the origin of the veil and why it has become an esential complement of many brides. The veil has also a relevant moment during the ceremony. When it is risen. The groom is the only person who can rise it. This is a beautiful moment when the couple look at their eyer each other and after say the expected sentence: “Yes, I do”

Their origin comes from the past when people believed in evil spirits. They thought they could be around to ruin the wedding ceremony. The bride wore a veil to cover her face. In this way, evil spirits would not know who was the bride. Likewise, bridesmaid were made part of the ceremony to surround the bride, so evil spirits would be confused about who the actual bride was, and leave. Many couples today still honor these customs, but use the veil to hide the bride's face until it is first revealed to her groom. The bridesmaids are chosen to help the bride celebrate her happy day. This is also true for the ushers to celebrate with the groom.

Although we are getting used to think the veil has always been white, this is not true. As we told in the review about the colour of the dress, where we discover that there are many colours according to the culture or the election of the bride. With the veil happens the same. In some cultures used the veil to transmitt messages. For example the yellow veil was a virginity proof, while blue in honour to the Virgin.

And you?. Are you going to use this ornament?, white?, other colours?. Tell us.

Heart-Shape Face

Finally, we are going to end this cycle of reviews, where we have analyzed the different hairstyles according to your shape. For it, in this ocassion, we are going to analyze the heart-shaped faces. They tend to have wider foreheads and a jaw line that tapers downwards to a narrow (in occasions “pointy”) chin and mouth.

If you want to slim the width of the forehead can give volume with the hair in the part of the tempes. For it, it is convenient to use blunt tipped tufts on the chin or cheekbone short to give volume in the sides.

The ideal is to choose a style for creating volume around the bottom half of your face. If you want a long hairstyle, keep curly locks soft and loose and go for soft layers around the chin area, keeping layers cut as close to your jawline as possible. Avoid short, full styles that emphasise your upper face, and avoid too much height at the crown, as this gives the impression of a longer, narrower chin. Fringes will emphasise a pointy chin and side partings provide interesting asymmetry (it's up to you).

Wedding Traditions

We have always listened to our elders saying “If you are going to get married, you can't forget wearing something blue, something old, something lent and of course something new”. But, why?It is an old tradition where every aspect has a meaning.

Something blue: The origin of this tradition comes from Israel, where the bride wears in her hair a blue ornament, which represents fidelity. In England, it is said “those wearing in blue have true love.” In other countries is used in a blue garter, because in the Secession War was a virginity symbol.

Something old: It is used for showing the sense of the continuity in the life. It represents the family and friends ties. The customs will be the same, only we will adapt to the new changes. The old symbolizes our life which left behind. It is very common to use a familiar jewel.

Something new: this means the hope of the best future. The new always represents a change and the renew of the spirit. It symbolizes the new life whish starts. It is normally the dress, the underwear.

Something borrowed: It symbolises the friendship. It is used a jewel, a handkerchief... It refers the old superstition that happiness can come from someone who is happy.

If you follow all the traditions you will have a very lucky marriage. Are you a tradionalist or do you prefer creating your own traditions? Tell us.

Be Creative My Friend

Have you ever listened this famous Bruce Lee' sentence? One of the best ideas, for saving money, could be create our own decoration. For it, we will start with the most significant ornaments, flowers.

In Greece and in Rome ,the sweethearts (couple lovers) wore flowers around their neck which symbolized the new life, hope and fertility. These collars necklaces were made of herbs and spices, because thy thought the strong smells owned mystical powers and with them, they could dispel the bad spirits.

A few years after, the knights who participated in the crusades, watched in the brides who lived in the mountains. They were made of orange blossom, which was a purity symbol.

In 1840, when the Queen Victory got married Prince Albert of Sajonia, were used edible flowers, as calenduda (known as lust herb), and after the bride and groom and the guets ate during the wedding.

Nowadays , we use different flowers and forms. But, before choosing your wedding buquet,you should take into account the colours. Why? Because they must combine with your hair, skin and eyes, your bridal dress... But the most important, you have to remember that every flower has a meaning. So, what do you want to say?
