Chinese Silk

In a traditional Chinese wedding, why is the bride's head covered with a red silk cloth?

There is some history and meaning behind this, but I can't remember what. Does anybody know and have sufficient evidence to back up their answer? Thanks.

Red is a very auspicious color in China. It symbolizes wealth, fortune, and luck. The covering of the face with a cloth goes back to the early dynastic rulers as a sign of humility. This was at a time when women spent most of their lives in the house, largely illiterate and subservient to the male.
