bridal veil
Sheer fabric worn by brides
A bridal veil is the sheer fabric worn over a bride's face or trailing from her hair during a wedding ceremony.
The tradition carries associations of purity, modesty, and the dramatic reveal when the groom lifts it.
Bridal veil also names a delicate white flowering plant with cascading sprays that suggest the fabric: The bridal veil spilled over the hanging basket.
