Reply To: Wedding Veils: Charedi vs Hassidic vs … 👰

The veil that covers the face of the Kallah is one of the Minhagim of a Jewish wedding, and is placed (in most cases by the chassan) over the bride’s face at the Badeken (a Yiddish word meaning covering) that takes place before the Chuppah.
The veil in back is usually attached to the headpiece the bride wears, and is part of the pretty bridal outfit that is worn in Western countries, like the white bridal gown and the wedding bouquet. They seem to be going a bit out of fashion, but there’s no connection between the “back veil” and Jewish custom.
