Birdcage veils are coming back and becoming popular again. These accessories are popular items from several decades ago, and they are making their appearances in Hollywood, this year. When celebrities start wearing something, they soon become very popular with everyone. This kind of veil can add a touch of elegance and mystery to today's modern bride.
Why the Cage
You have several advantages with a lovely
birdcage veil. It does not matter what kind of hairstyle that you choose. It also does not matter what type of gown that you decide to wear. The cage veil can be very lovely in just about any kind of situation.
Another feature is utility. Most wedding veils only have one use. However, the cage veil can be seen in a lot of formal situations today. In fact, they are considered to be very chic. There are three basic kinds of netting that you will find, when you shop. Here is a look at them.
Netting Styles
French netting is small and fine, and it gives a certain look. Russian netting is for women that want something larger than French netting, but not too large. The largest is the English netting. All of these nets will give you a flattering look. It is best to try them on and see which ones suit you best.
Types
There are four basic types of
wedding veils that you may decide to wear. They will vary by length and cut. Here is a look at the selections.
Blusher
If you want something that gives a fuller look, the blusher may be the best option for you. This item is usually worn from the top of the woman's head. This accessory will cover your face, and may extend somewhat past your face. The standard blusher is used for a dramatic effect when the groom lifts the veil. At that point, all eyes are on the bride. This accessory encircles a woman's head and can give a halo effect in the right environment.
Angle
The angle veil may extend just below your eyes. It will only cover part of the face, but can be very chic. The bottom of the netting will be set at an angle across your face.
Bandeau
The bandeau has a different look, in that it fits almost like a face mask. This veil can cover your eyes, or you may choose one to cover your face. This accessory attaches to both sides of your head, and is often used by women with shorter hair. However, if you hair is down, it is also a nice option. If you plan to have your hair up, this may not be a good idea.
Wedge
The wedge can give a woman a sassy look. This item is usually placed on the side of the head. When it is properly worn, it will cover only one eye.
Summary
Birdcage veils are in vogue again, and many women are choosing them for their weddings. You can have a lovely retro look, and these things will go with almost any gown or hairstyle. You can choose fine, medium, or large netting and one of four styles. The blusher covers the face, and the angle covers part of the face, at an angle. The bandeau fits similar to a mask and the wedge will cover one eye, for a sassy look.
