Who Should Lift The Blusher At My Wedding?
Who Moves a Blusher Veil?
There’s no direct answer to who should lift the bride blusher. If you have a religious ceremony, the priest or vicar may prefer someone to move your blusher, like your father or anyone who walked you down the aisle.
The officiant sometimes suggests the maid of honor lift your veil as she may have a better idea of how to do it quickly without ruining your hairstyle or pulling it out altogether. However, some brides decide to lift their blushers on their own.
Who Traditionally Lifts the Bride’s Veil?
Traditionally, the father-of-the-bride lifts the blusher veil as part of “giving her away.” But you can have someone else to do it. For example, opt for another significant person, such as your best friend, future father-in-law, or a close male relative.
When Should You Lift a Blusher?
The blusher is often lifted after the bride walks down the aisle, and her father presents her to the groom. So, your groom and the guests will have a clear view of your face throughout the ceremony.
Some brides prefer to have their blushers lifted over their faces at the end of the ceremony. Alternatively, you can push a layer to the back of your head and wear it all night. Since the blusher wedding veil is short, it will not get in your way while dancing and enjoying the party.
What are the Different Styles of Blushers?
Many brides wear a blusher because they want that emotional moment when their dad or groom lifts it over their face. And here are the different blusher styles to choose from.
Angel Blusher/Cascade Blusher/Drop Blusher
Depending on the embellishment, this blusher style offers a seamless, regal, modern, and minimalistic look. If you view it from the side profile, the layer gently gets longer, flowing from the shorter length down into, the longer back layer.
Detached Blusher
This blusher style is gathered at the comb, making it look fuller with more volume. It can give you a traditional bridal look. It is made from a separate fabric not attached to the veil’s back layer. You can sew it onto its own comb and make it detachable from the back layer.
Should I Embellish My Blusher with Beading and Lace or Keep It Simple
It’s recommended to wear a simple blusher featuring a raw edge. This prevents you from cutting up your wedding dress’ front profile. Since there’s no noticeable separation where the blusher stops, you can get a more seamless transition.
However, you can add detailing and lace trim to your blusher layer. It is commonly seen with the cascade wedding veil style. This lets you get romantic and dramatic wedding photos without interfering with the front profile.
The lifting of the blusher is a wedding tradition that adds depth and symbolism to the bride’s entrance. And the choice of who should lift the blusher on your wedding day can be based on your personal preference, cultural or religious customs, relationship dynamics, or even modern interpretations. But it’s best to choose the person who will add an extra touch of love and meaning to your wedding day.
