Veils- Tradition vs. Modern

It is said in the medieval times, that the veil was used to protect the bride from "the evil eye" and was a symbol of purity, chastity, and modesty.

Well, times have changed! Now, wearing a bridal veil: signifies a special event - A Wedding! signifies joy, and highlights the bride's appearance and features. Bridal Gowns are transformed with a veil.

Which veil is right for you? Here are some selections......
