white veil
Bride's face covering
A white veil is a piece of sheer fabric worn over the face or head, traditionally by brides in Western weddings as a symbol of purity and modesty.
White veils also appear in religious contexts—Catholic girls wear them at First Communion, and some orders of nuns wear white veils during their novitiate before taking final vows.
