Trying on a bridal gown or veil can represent:
- The idea of your own wedding (imagining it, looking forward to it, exploring the idea, etc.)
- Your role in a marriage or other partnership
- A commitment you've made or are considering, romantic or not
- Exploring the fullness of being a woman, and all that that involves in your culture (women's roles, society's views of women, the way men in your life treat women, expectations your partner has for you, expectations you have on yourself as a woman, etc.)
