The Bible references the first wedding, that of Isaac and Rebekah, and the custom of a bride wearing a veil is rooted in that story. When Rebekah saw Isaac from across the field on her wedding day, she covered her face with her scarf as a gesture of modesty.
Today, the fabric veil is only part of the hair jewelry brides rely upon to accentuate their wedding hair style. Choices include a bridal tiara, often adorned with pearls, crystals, colored stones, beads and more. These are typically set in a silver or gold hairpiece which graces the bride's hairstyle and is harmonious with the gown.
For more subtle sparkle, brides rely upon a simple comb, which can sweep the hairstyle to one side, hair clips or hair sticks to pin hair beautifully, or adding flowers to the hair or even attach a smaller veil.
