The bride's wear typically consists of a DRESS, VEIL, and GOWN. The DRESS is usually a white or light-colored garment that is often decorated with lace, beads, or other embellishments. The VEIL is a sheer fabric that is worn over the head and face, and is often held in place by a tiara or other headpiece. The GOWN is a long, formal DRESS that is usually made of luxurious fabrics such as silk or satin. All three pieces are essential for a traditional bridal look.
