Why Does a Bride Wear a Veil at Her Wedding?

From June Hoffman and Erik Michaels of Megasoud

A bride’s veil dates back to ancient times and arranged marriages. A groom would not see his bride until the wedding ceremony. The unveiling of the bride was typically a part of the wedding ceremony.

Many cultures also believed that a veil was worn as protection from evil spirits or an evil eye. The veil would be part of the “disguise” that a bride wore so evil spirits would not make trouble for her on her wedding day.

Nowadays, brides wear a veil as an adornment to compliment their wedding dress. The veil completes the whole bridal "look". Veils come in every length from cathedral to the French veiling (that looks like a tiny net birdcage).

Fort Wayne bridal salons offer veils, tiaras, hairpins, and more. To save time, attend a trunk show that features unique veil designers. Megasound works with Fort Wayne wedding professionals who offer exceptional veils and other bridal accessories. To find out more, give us a call.

from June Hoffman of Megasound

The Wedding Place is hosting their 12th Semi-Annual Veil and Headpiece Extravaganza this Saturday March 6th. At Megasound, I get some great opportunities to play music for other wedding related events. This is one of those types of events that I get to enjoy as much as the brides. I am spinning the tunes and MCing the event as well.

This pre-nuptial event is an excellent opportunity for brides to pick out finishing touches to their wedding look. It plans to be a wonderful time for you to check out more than just veils. The Wedding Place is featuring new, be-jeweled hair pins and gorgeous wispy feather pieces from the designers at Bella Trousseau. Fort Wayne brides will have the first look at these amazing adornments on Saturday. Bella Trousseau is only available at the Wedding Place.

Other goodies on schedule for March 6th include scrumptious wedding cake from Elegant Cakes by Carolyn and special gifts for each bride. Each registered bride also receives complimentary hair styling and makeup from Hair, Etc. Space is limited, so to reserve your spot, call 260-482-1250 today.

The “Veil and Headpiece Extravaganza” will be held at the Wedding Place which is located at 4618 Speedway Drive in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Reservations are required as the event runs from 10am-4pm this Saturday, March 6, 2010. Hope to see you there!!

Red Carpet and All

I spent my Saturday surrounded by two of my favorite things: Christmas music and brides planning their weddings. I had the honor of being the MC/DJ and all-around good hostess during the Wedding Place's 9th semi-annual View and Headpiece Extravaganza. The rooms were filled with Christmas music from all genres (tropical, classic, salsa, and contemporary). With Megasound, we have so many different options for music that it was very interesting to play only one type of music for the whole day. Now of course, I did explain to a few moms that we do play a wide variety of music at wedding ceremonies and receptions (normally what the bride and groom ask for their wedding).

The rooms were also filled with brides in various stages of their wedding planning. Many had already ordered their dress and were ready to accessorize their wedding ensemble with a beautiful veil, headpiece, and jewelry. So many options were available as the Wedding Place had gotten in many “never-before-seen” veils specifically for the event.

Some brides arrived alone and many were joined by their entourage (MOB, MOG, BM, and more). In addition to all of my instruction on what they needed to do, the brides were treated to sweets from Don Hall’s Takes the Cake. They also received a complimentary hair up-do and mini-makeover by Angela and her staff from Bellus Hair Design.

When the girls finished picking out their accessories, they had photo questions answered by Brooke of Ashley Beige Photography. I saw a few tears as brides and their moms watched previous brides' videos and checked out photos. One of the most colorful parts of the day for all was the beautiful flowers on display from One of a Kind Events. Many brides took the opportunity to check out the hottest floral trends and colors and talk with Linda about their wedding plans.

All and all, it was a very full day. The unique layout for the event transformed the Wedding Place into a palace of bling and beauty…red carpet and all.

Having Fun with Veils

I am very excited to spend tomorrow at the Wedding Place for the 9th Semi-Annual Veil and Headpiece Extravaganza. I got a sneak peak of some of the unique designs available and I will say that there will a lot of headpieces and veils for brides. The veils are brand new almost all are available to buy on the spot at great prices.

I can’t wait to see all of the girls getting their hair and makeup done (for free) before trying on all of the lovely accessories! Halls Takes the Cake is providing sweet treats for all in attendance. The Wedding Place will also look divine with all the fresh flowers from One of a Kind Events and designer, Linda Maggert, will be on hand for any questions. My favorite part is that I will be there providing holiday tunes as well as handling logistics for the event. I will also be able to answer any questions about your ceremony and reception questions.

Tickets are $5 per person and if you have already purchased your wedding gown from The Wedding Place, you get 2 tickets FREE! Either way, you must have an appointment for this fun event! Just call The Wedding Place 260-482-1250 to get on the schedule! I hope to see you there.
