Woman With Veil 👰‍♀️

This emoji shows a woman in bridal veil—the classic, instantly recognizable image of a bride in a flowing white or cream-colored veil. It's perhaps the most iconic wedding emoji, designed to capture that ceremonial elegance in a single symbol.

It's used constantly in wedding announcements, engagement posts, bridal fashion discussions, and romantic moments. People send it when excited about someone getting married, when sharing wedding photos, or when talking about wedding planning. It works across formal wedding contexts and lighthearted wedding-related conversations alike.

The emoji carries cultural weight in many traditions where the veil is ceremonially significant—from Christian to Muslim, Hindu, and Jewish practices. It's deeply associated with bride identity and the formality of the occasion.

While this variant arrived as part of Unicode Emoji 13 in 2020, the original generic person with veil has existed since 2010, making veil imagery one of the longest-running wedding symbols in emoji language. The woman-specific variant clarifies identity without changing the core meaning, and it remains the most-used veil emoji alongside the original.
