Are you looking for a stunning style for a vintage veil to wear for your wedding.
This look is gorgeous and sets you apart from the traditional wedding veil.
Make a great 1st impression with this beautiful look. You'll be breathtaking!

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    A vintage birdcage bridal veil is a unique way to set your own style at your wedding. You'll find these sites to help you with either ordering netting or selecting a custom veil for yourself. Top it off with a handmade, custom feather fascinator and you'll look gorgeous on your big day.

  2. Step 2

    Go online to
    *www.somethingbold.com
    *www.shellysheekboutique
    *Unveiled Bridal Designs
    *Design One
    Or just browse the web for: birdcage veils, antique bridal veils, vintage bridal veils, russian netting or french netting. You'll find an array of websites with either antique veils or reproduction veils. Custom birdcage veils in a perfect length for your attire can be made to suit your style.

  3. Step 3

    Added detail to your veil such as beautiful feather and beaded fascinators to complete your look can be found at:

    www.shellysheekboutique.com
    also has great fascinators for your attendants for their hair to compliment your look.

    When you receive your veil, if it is shapeless and hard to hold into place on our head. I suggest doing this:
    Buy a styrofoam head from a beauty supply store. Adjust the veil to your head in the form that you would like it to be. Have a friend help you pull the veil in the shape that you would like, then spray hair spray on the veil to hold the form. Next, take the styrofoam head and mount the veil onto the form, use stick pins to hold the veil in place and then when you have it the way you would like it, spray it generously with hair spray to hold the form. Keep your veil on this form until ready to be worn. At some point before your wedding day, make sure you try it on again and that you are happy with the way it is holding it's shape to wear on your day.

Tips & Warnings
  • After ceremony, have your personal attendant help you cluster your veil around your fascinator for a lovely look for your reception.
