June, for the longest time was considered to be the correct month to have your wedding. A tradition that dates back to the 1500s. Have you ever wondered why this tradition began? Why June? Well, I don't know if the theory that I found is the God's Honest Truth or not but it does make a little sense. If the tradition really does date back to the 1500s, then what I am about to share with you makes as much sense as the next theory. Apparently back in that time of the world, folks only took a bath once per year. That's right...one bath. Now, according to what I've found that bath was traditionally set in May because the weather had warmed up. By June, everyone was still relatively clean and still smelled pretty good compared to the rest of the year. Now the weather was a little warmer so body odor was starting to raise it's smelly head and that is why the Brides carried a bouquet of flowers. Yep, she was hiding her smelly pits!
Ok, so now for the serious part of this review! I came across a lovely article by ClassyGals about wedding veils. As with all of her articles about fashion, she has created a beautiful piece about Creating a Wedding Veil Keepsake. ClassyGals shows some gorgeous examples of veils that can be made at home for any Bride's memorable day. She tells us the supplies that are needed to make a Keepsake Wedding Veil along with some suggestions as to where to purchase the supplies or an inexpensive veil. There are even some vintage veils and headpieces for our enjoyment.
ClassyGals does throw some humor into her article too with an hysterical Wedding Video that is a must watch.
I sincerely hope that you enjoy ClassyGals lovely article and apologize right here for my introductory paragraph. I know I took the cheap road to humor, but it just struck me as so funny. All I can hope for is that I don't get invited to a June wedding anytime soon. I'm afraid I will break out into hysterical laughter as the lovely Bride starts down the aisle with her bouquet. Perhaps I should try to concentrate on her Bridal Veil and see if she created an heirloom to be passed on in her family.

I don't know, the intro really hooked me! One bath per year is pretty gross. It's a wonder anyone found someone to marry. Loved those classy veils and classy video's too.
ReplyDeleteWhat month did I get married in. I'm not telling! ;) What a great find for us here with Classy Gals page on wedding veils. I love the idea of creating something unique for your wedding.
ReplyDeleteBev! LOL Great review! Looking forward to some more of your humor here! I have a feeling it's not limited by just wedding veils or wedding trivia. :)
ReplyDeleteI really liked the intro Bev. The photos of the different wedding veils and headpieces on the lens really caught my eye.
