Traditional bird cage veils, or face veils as they were called in the 1940’s, are crafted with either French or Russian netting. French netting has a delicate soft lace feel and Russian netting has a bit more volume and has more pouf. Wearing a bird cage veil is a terrific modern alternative vs. a traditional and often fussy tulle veil. They are great on short hairstyles and are so light they can be easily pinned on.
Wearing it on an asymmetrical angle brings on the air of vintage charm and adds instant style to simple contemporary style wedding gowns. For added kick, add an embellished fascinator of feathers, silk flowers or a fabulous hair gem to it. Depending on your face shape, lash length and shape of bird cage veil you choose, we recommend wearing them above your lips, so there’s no hesitation to your first kiss!
Come see more of these gorgeous veil alternatives at our Laura Jayne Trunk Show this weekend, March 13th and 14th. Come meet Laura Jayne herself and custom design something gorgeous at The Left Bank.
