Birdcage Veils

In an earlier post regarding veils, I explored the Mantilla Veil, which I absolutely love!

My most recent inspiration of veils is the bird cage veil. Harmony Walton recently did a post called "The Birdcage veil is Back!" And I really loved the look that she highlighted: Katherine Heigl's photo from OK Magazine

And here's another image of Katherine's wedding!!! (From OK Magazine)




And i realized... Wow, i really love that look! And then I realized, it was the same look that Reese Witherspoon had in Sweet Home Alabama...



The Birdcage veil is defined in this article as: "The birdcage veil is a short bit of net pulled just over the eyes, a la Old Hollywood." And it definitely has a retro chic feel about it...very ol' hollywood!

Here are some other awesome Birdcage Veil images that I'm drooling over!

I love the little accessory that they put with the veil. Gorgeous!!!

Here are some tips on how to make a birdcage veil

I still havent picked one but I am torn between the chicness of the birdcage and the romance of long flowy veil. No clue which way to go.

It was super easy for me to pick a veil. I just went to a consignment shop with my MOH and she fell for a veil and was wearing it around in the store so we just had to get it.

Good thing I liked it too. He he he
