Marriage without a veil is acceptable. Nowadays, many places no longer have the custom of getting married and getting a red headscarf, so it is possible to decide whether or not to get a red headscarf based on the preferences and wishes of the newlyweds. If there is a custom of wearing a red headscarf in the local area, you can discuss with your parents before deciding whether to wear a red headscarf.
Why do we have to cover our wedding with a red veil
1. To ward off evil spirits
Red has the saying of exorcising evil spirits, and evil spirits dare not approach red. In ancient times, brides wore red clothes and covered their heads with red covers to prevent the invasion of evil energy and to prevent bringing evil energy into their in laws' homes. Whether it's ancient weddings or modern weddings, the bride wearing a red headscarf has a auspicious purpose. Secondly, the red headDRESS is festive and auspicious, and it looks great when paired with the bride's red wedding dress.
2. Cover up embarrassment
In ancient times, women were subject to many constraints. Before getting married, they were not allowed to meet unfamiliar men or their marriage partners, so the groom and bride may have never met before. In people's secular impression, brides should be delicate and shy, so at this time, the bride can cover her face with a veil to conceal her shyness and block the view of those who come to watch the ceremony.
3. Good symbolism
In ancient weddings, the bride's red veil was personally lifted by the groom using a weighing rod or jade ruyi, symbolizing "contentment and satisfaction".
