Beautiful Birdcage Veils

So fashionable and modern, birdcage veils are popular choices for many brides today. Handmade birdcage veils are classic on their own. But add accessories and you can make your veil more personal. From the Etsy Wedding Team, here are some ways to beautify your birdcage.


Add Floral. Floral fascinators pair nicely with birdcage veils. Change the overall look with different sizes, designs and colors. The larger, more colorful or more sparkled the floral you choose the bigger the drama. {handmade by www.annemichelleheirloom.etsy.com}


Add Glamour. Vintage or vintage-style hair combs can really give you that golden age Hollywood glamour that birdcages often evoke. Rhinestones and feathers especially reveal that vintage charm. {handmade by www.TessaKim.etsy.com}


Add Bling. It’s possible to incorporate design on the netting itself, such as jewels, beading, dots, for a unique look. These wonderful details are treats when seen up close. {handmade by www.heknowsmyname.etsy.com}


Add Height. Birdcage veils may be smaller than many traditional veils, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Add drama and fun to your veil by adding height, through feathers, flowers, jewels or other stunning accessories. {handmade by www.hairbowswonderworld.etsy.com}

Add Color. Beyond white and ivory, you can often request handmade veils in other colors, like black and red. This is a great option if you have a non-white dress or will be adding coordinating colors on a sash, shrug or other accessories. {handmade by www.JadeRoseDesigns.etsy.com}


Add a Headband. Headbands, in addition to clips, pins and combs, give you another way to secure your veil. In some designs they are intended to disappear into your hair. But with some options you gain more surface area for lush accessories. {handmade by www.BeSomethingNew.etsy.com}
