Bridal Tradition – The Veil

It was lovely to see Becca following bridal tradition.  After seeing one of our previous wedding blogs where the bride was wearing a full length veil over her face, Becca decided to do similar for her marriage to Chris at Fulbrook Church.

The practice of a bride wearing a veil over her face is steeped in history and mystique.  Rumour has it that often the ‘less popular’ sister  was married off to an unsuspecting groom when veils were much thicker: nobody would get to see the bride’s face until after she had tied the knot.  Not the best way to start married life!

Becca & Chris were married at Fulbrook Church, Oxfordshire and celebrated their wedding at Stone Barn
