Vintage Long White Wedding Dress and Veil

The bride's veil originated in the Anglo-Saxon custom of performing the marriage ceremony under a square piece of cloth, called the care-cloth, held at each corner by a tall man over the bridegroom and bride to conceal her maiden blushes.

Something like this care-cloth, says Brand ("Popular Antiquities", 1849), "is used by the modern Jews, from whom it has probably been derived into the Christian Church : "There is a square vestment called Taleth, with pendents about it, put over the head of the bride-groom and bride together".
