You'll have to excuse me because I don't actually remember the Hebrew names of the different events, but at least for a conservative ceremony if the bride is wearing a blusher it actually gets pulled back right before the ceremony during the ketubah signing. It has to do with the story of Rachel (I think) and the idea that the groom is "double checking" that he is getting the right bride.
i would ask your rabbi, i've seen it done a few ways. i didn't like my blusher, and only bought it for religious reasons. we did the unveiling before the ceremony after the ketubah sighning and then my rabbi said i could take the blusher off.
I believe it is actually the other way around. The 'bedeken' is the veiling ceremony that occurs after the ketubah signing. The bride and groom see one another for the ketubah signing where he ensures that he is marrying the right woman. He then lowers her veil (blusher) which she wears through the ceremony. It is then lifted towards the end of the ceremony. The idea is that he is marrying her for her inner beauty, not her outer beauty.
You can check with your rabbi to see what he/she usually does.
I think it largely depends on what your rabbi wants, as well as what you like. We did the customary practice of putting the veil down during the bedecken. I wore the veil down for most of the ceremony (drinking wine with a veil is pretty hilarious), and my husband lifted up the veil at the end for the kiss.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I'm trying to think back to other weddings but I can't seem to remember if the bride wears the veil over her face for the duration of the ceremony or if the veil is lifted to reveal her face.
Does anyone know? Thanks!
