Finally, the Moment to Walk Down the "Virgin Road" ＊

When it comes to Christian ceremonies or ceremonies in front of guests held in chapels or churches, it's all about the "Virgin Road," right? Did you know that the Virgin Road represents the bride's journey through life up until now? Each step on the wedding path symbolizes a year in her life—one step forward for age one, two steps for age two, and so on. It's a truly wonderful meaning! ♡

The Mother's Final Task: The "Veil Down" ♡

Before walking down that beautiful Virgin Road, there's a ceremony where the mother lowers the veil, called "Veil Down." Essentially, Veil Down is a ritual where the mother lowers the wedding veil, which is said to protect the bride from evil, sending her daughter off before the ceremony begins. ＊

It is often referred to as the "last grooming for the bride by her mother," and it’s a profoundly emotional scene where many mothers and daughters end up in tears reminiscing about their shared past! ♡

The emotional "Veil Down" is also a great camera opportunity, making it a moment that stays in the memory of all the guests. To ensure this beautiful scene is captured perfectly, it’s essential to pay attention to your posture! ♡

This time, we would like to share some points for brides to be mindful of regarding posture during the emotional "Veil Down" ceremony, which takes place at the start of the wedding.

Points to Consider Regarding Posture During "Veil Down" Ceremony ① Be Mindful Not to Lean Forward with Your Neck and Upper Body

A common mistake during the Veil Down is leaning forward to put on the veil yourself. This creates a forward hunch in the neck and upper body, ruining a beautiful posture! Although it's easy to feel nervous, try not to panic. Instead of leaning forward, keep your neck and upper body straight! ♡

Points to Consider Regarding Posture During "Veil Down" Ceremony ② Keep Your Back Straight

It would be wasteful to maintain a beautiful posture throughout the ceremony only to slouch when having the wedding veil placed over you! To keep your back straight, consciously pull your shoulders slightly back. Since weddings can be quite nerve-wracking, aiming for “a bit too much” in your posture is usually just right! ♡

Points to Consider Regarding Posture During "Veil Down" Ceremony ③ Position Your Feet Front and Back and Lower Your Waist

One thing to focus on during the Veil Down is "becoming smaller than your mother." Simply squatting down won't help you maintain an elegant posture, so position your feet front and back and lower your waist straight down. ♡

Given the weight of the dress, squatting can be surprisingly challenging, but remember that the Veil Down is a fleeting moment. So, strive to maintain a beautiful posture! Many brides practice in advance! ♡

The Veil Down Can Be Done by Someone Other Than Your Mother ♡

While many brides request their mothers to perform the Veil Down, there’s no hard rule that says it must be done by your mother! Some brides ask sisters, younger siblings, relatives, or friends to perform the ceremony instead. It would be lovely to ask someone dear to you with whom you’ve shared your life! ♡
