Birdcage Veil

There are many different styles of veils, and what you choose will depend entirely on your style. One popular option is the Birdcage veil, which has a very vintage feel. It has been popular throughout the decades, and still going strong with brides who want an alternative to the traditional Cathedral veil.

Often the birdcage veil is white, or of a cream color, sometimes embellished with pearls or small crystals. The hair piece can include feathers or other details, or sometimes simply be netting pinned into the hair. Modern brides also often choose to wear the Cathedral veil to the actual ceremony, and a birdcage veil to the reception, as a fun, more casual alternative. Lately, bold colored veils are increasing in popularity, from deep blue to red. This style, combined with the right color, looks great against any hair color, whether you are blonde or brunette.

Unveiled Bridal Designs has some of the most amazing birdcage style veils. All the pictures below are courtesy of them. The combination of a simple and vintage gown with a birdcage veil is the epitome of class. From an innocent 1920’s look, to a 1950’s pin up vixen, all the way up to modern vogue, the birdcage veil is very versatile. Unveiled Bridal Designs can custom make a veil to suit your style, any length, any accessory.
