I love how birdcage veils give a touch of vintage charm to the overall bridal look. Check out these lovelies:
With these as my inspiration, I attempted to make one myself. I ordered 18″ of Russian veiling from House of Fabric to give it a try. I also picked up some feathers from Jo-Ann’s to make a hairpiece. Veil making is foreign territory for me.
After receiving my Russian veiling material, I couldn’t wait to get started on making my birdcage veil. I found a set of directions online that I loosely followed and came up with a veil that I definitely like.
I shouldn’t have to say this, but if you are marrying me, do not look any further.
So, what do you think? Are you making your own veil?
I love it! It is great!!
I am making a bird cage veil as well. I ordered an aqua-colored russian netting from Judith M Hats and supplies. I am going to construct mine with one comb and make a feathery flowered hair piece to go with it.
DITTO! Im doing the same thing but haven’t started yet. Thanks for a dry run for us!
PS- your veil looks gorgeous!
Beautiful. Simply stunning! I still can’t get over how crafty you are!
nice! But i would make it a bit shorter like the other pictures you’re showing.
I don’t know why I never thought of this for a wedding — hmmm, will have to head down to the fabric store to try it out.
Your DIY looks better than some of the pro ones you posted - fantastic vintage glam look, it suits you!! I do agree with Linda in brining it up an inch or so ( to the end of your nose maybe).
Nice job Ms. DE–you continue to amaze me!
It looks great! I just finished a birdcage veil for my friend yesterday. That netting was tricky!
Hi!
I was introduced to Weddingbee through a fellow blogger, Ms Pineapple, and in fact just covered her wedding last week! If you are looking for a wedding photographer, email me at mwtay2003@yahoo.com for my portfolio and we could discuss it more detail. Thanks!
I got a custom designed birdcage veil for my wedding. The designer recently launched an online store at http://www.5eizen.etsy.com. She has one of a kind designs on that site but she also does custom orders.
The birdcage veil is really something very vintage. It adds some fashion statement to the bridee. And will look good if it is coupled with some beads of jewelry.
Where did you find directions? I am making a veil for my future daughter-in-law. She wants a bird cage veil but her father wants something to pick up and lay back. Any ideas?? I have tried a couple of things but nothing works to my satisfaction.
