about birdcage bridal veils
Birdcage veils are a perfect option for the non-traditional bride, accommodating a wide variety of styles. Would you prefer full-face coverage, or asymmetrical veiling just over the eyes? Is your style classic vintage, chic, haute couture or a modern, rock-the-party look? Choices abound with birdcage veils!
- A petite veil is the perfect option for either a bride or her attendants. This small caplet veil may fall above the eyes, swoop down over one eye at an angle, or be used as a snood
- Short blusher veils fall to the bridge of the nose. They usually cover both eyes, but are also often worn angled, held in place by combs or clips
- The bandeau runs side-to-side across the eyes with the fall determined by personal choice. It may even be worn across the top of the hair headband-style
- Blusher veils will cover most of the face and may fall anywhere from the tip of the nose to the lips or chin
- A full veil falls below the chin with partial to full covering of the face and hair. The true birdcage is a full veil worn in complete circumference of the head, giving the style its name
Veiling is available in white and ivory, either unadorned or with scattered pearls or crystals. In addition, veiling and tulle are available in a multitude of colors, including black, as options for the wedding party or special event pieces.
Looking for something non-traditional but not sure how you feel about the birdcage veil? Consider a bubble veil for a truly couture look. An airy double layer of illusion or fine tulle, the bubble veil may be combined with Russian netting and a floral or jeweled headpiece to create a look as simple or elaborate as you wish.
