The Birdcage Veil

Now that the particulars of the wedding are coming into play, I have to somehow make my own style shine through. While I won't reveal my final dress choice, I will tell you one thing...I chose it because it would work with the style of veil I am in love with. I never wanted a veil. Except one of those Spanish lace ones, that are millions of dollars. But with that out of the picture, I can't see myself wearing a long veil with crystals or a soft tulle fluff attached to a crown. No, but I CAN see myself wearing a vintage inspired birdcage veil. Feast your eyes on these beauts (and I'm not talking about the ladies):

I see my hair worn in a low, loose bun and a nice vintage brooch attached to the back off to one side, holding tight to a delicate netting.
Yes...can't you just see it!

My mom and I made my birdcage veil. It was super easy! I bought russian netting, pale gray & clear little glass beads, and a wide matching bracelet that we use to anchor it to a hair comb. The whole thing cost me around $17 compared to the $50 & up I was finding on etsy.
