I knew it would be a trend this year! I started seeing birdcage veils in the magazines last year, and I loved how different and wonderful they are. They add a charming vintage feel to just about any wedding ensemble, and can be personalized with what’s called a “fascinator” and basically an ornament like a silk flower, beading, or feathers, that carries the eye to your face.

Here’s a post from weddingbee with some great resources to find veils. A fabulous friend made mine for me with netting from a millinery, ribbon, and a feather clip.
