The Wedding Veil; As Versatile As It Is Romantic
The wedding veil is a matrimonial symbol which is rooted in superstition and romance. Tradition has it that it may be a bad omen to the couple if the groom views his bride in a wedding gown right before the ceremony; hence, the veil was used to conceal the bride’s face. The lifting of the bridal veil by the groom is also a much-anticipated moment, awaited by everyone in attendance as an ushering symbol of the couple’s married life together. Since there is this much emphasis on the veil as a wedding garment, naturally there would be a variety of these to be opted for, differing in lengths and styles, but with the same purpose; to conceal the bride before the groom makes his move for the kiss.

The Well-Shod Bride
I’ll be wearing a floor-length wedding gown, so my shoe style can be negligible, is what most brides will think once confronted with other nitty gritties of preparing for their big day.
Not a good idea, ladies. As with most important occasions that will grace your life, every little detail counts, and that includes the pair of footwear you’ll be encasing your dainty bridal tootsies in. Always keep in mind that you’ll be on your feet for the most part of the wedding reception, as well as during a sizable chunk of the nuptial itself. Well-shod feet are the key to a comfortable, graceful, on-her-toes bride. Shoes can also round off a bridal ensemble perfectly. The secret is to coordinate with and stick to your chosen theme or motif, and to always consider the length, width, and shape of your feet (including the arches) early on.
