The Birdcage veil: it was popular in the 1940s and typically worn by glamorous Hollywood stars and fashionistas. These chic and stylish veils are starting to make a come back today, and are the hot trend for spring 2010!

Although there are no hard and fast rules for wearing a birdcage veil, there are some tips that will help make it look fabulous! 

- Tip #1: Keep it simple. The birdcage is considered a hybrid of a hair piece and veil, so don’t get too crazy with a complicated up-do. It could look like you have too much going on.

-Tip #2:  Make it your own. Whether its a smaller Russian net or a tulle veil, birdcage veils can be customized to suit your needs. Websites such as Birdcageveils.com can help you select the fine details to make it exactly how you want it; colors, length, crystals, fabric and much, much more! Check them out

-Tip #3: Have it complement your dress & style.  If your dress has beading, crystals, and great detailing, you may want to consider an unembellished birdcage veil as to not take away from the dress. On the other hand, a classic, simple dress with a high fashion ostrich feather attached to the birdcage veil could be that finishing touch that completes your wedding day look!
