Bird cage veils are the newest trend in wedding fashion. Moving from the long, heavy cathedral veil that a bride usually wears, you can opt into high fashion with a vintage look bird cage veil. But what is a bird cage veil? Bird cage veil is just a little piece of net worn by the bride that usually just covers the eyes. This retro look had come a long way tracing back from the 1930’s wherein the veil is worn with a hat and used to cover the face of ladies in mourning. Nowadays, it has turned into the hottest trend in the wedding industry! It gives our brides the sophisticated yet mysterious aura during their wedding day that surely catches their groom’s attention.

There are many ways to wear your bird cage veil. You can wear it at the top of your head, at the back side, or at an angle and accentuate it with a flower, a clip or feathers to make it classier. You can also wear it with a hat and let the veil drape over your face, or worn as a part of a headpiece and make a flirty net pouf. You can let your veil cover your eyes like the way Reese Witherspoon wore hers in Sweet Home Alabama, cover half of your face like Jessica Alba’s in the Fantastic Four’s Wedding Scene, or just drape it in your forehead like the elegant way Katherine Heigl did in her wedding with Josh Kelley.

Cage veils are fashionable and elegant. They are fun to wear and can be used in all occasions. They can go with many styles of gowns and they produce a big impact to the audience. Aside from giving you an aura of mystique, you can display a different personality by the way you style your veil. The mask in your eyes speaks of a secret you hide and the lips left unhidden give the bride a flirty, playful look. You can be classy, chic, elegant, or bold depending on what you wish to portray.

No matter how you wear your veil, the key is that your veil should complement your dress. It should make the whole outfit perfect. Secondly, the veil is the final touch; it serves as your crown. Make sure that it looks good on you and it highlights your appearance and features. Do not try wearing a cage veil if it doesn’t suit your features just because it’s the hottest trend. You’ll feel uncomfortable the whole time. Lastly, choose something you’re comfortable with and you’ll enjoy wearing.
