Birdcage Veils - The Hot Look This Season
Although the traditional veil and tiara are popular choices for today’s brides, brides are also getting more adventurous with their veils and opting for less traditional styles. For a classy, vintage look the birdcage-style veil is the hot style for this season. Made popular in the 1940s, by glamorous actresses, it’s now making a comeback. As seen among Hollywood celebrities, the birdcage veil was spotted on Katherine Heigl, during her wedding in 2007 and Drew Barrymore also wore one at the premiere of her new movie “Grey Gardens”.
The birdcage veil can be worn longer or shorter to suit your tastes. It is an easy to wear accessory that will compliment many styles of wedding gowns. The veil is usually worn with your hair tied up, but also suits shorter hairstyles. It's also becoming very popular for brides marrying for a second time, who feel the traditional long white veil is only suitable for their first wedding.
For a coordinating headpiece, consider a flower hair accent decorated with crystals, rhinestones, feather fascinators or even lace for the popular vintage look. Crystal and pearl hairpins and spiral pins are another option and work well with up-dos.
