What to Consider When Choosing a Birdcage Veil
1. Your Wedding Dress
Your wedding dress sets the tone for your entire bridal look, and the same goes for your birdcage veil. Consider the style and length of your dress to determine the right veil for you. For vintage-inspired tea or mini dresses, shorter veils of around 9 inches wide work best. If you're rocking a playsuit or wide-leg pants, you have more flexibility with both short and larger veils. Traditional wedding gowns allow for a beautiful range of birdcage veil styles. Don't be afraid to mix and match details for a unique look!

2. Your Face Shape
The shape of your face plays a crucial role in choosing the right birdcage veil. Accentuate your finest features and draw attention away from areas you'd rather not focus on. Oval, heart, triangle, square, round, or long - identify your face shape and discover the most flattering veil angle, width, and overall shape. Take into account your forehead height and width as well. A smaller veil suits those with a small face or head circumference, while a wider veil complements a larger forehead or head size.

3. Your Bridal Hairstyle
Your bridal hairstyle not only dictates the overall vibe of your look but also impacts your silhouette. If you want a more traditional appearance, pair your birdcage veil with an updo. For a contemporary twist, opt for loose curls or a sleek low set bridal bun. Consider the length and style of your hair when choosing the right veil. Short hair or extra-fine hair may benefit from a veil that is sewn onto a headband for a secure fit.

4. Embellishments
Birdcage veils have a decorative charm on their own, but you can elevate your look by pairing them with additional pieces. Consider adding a feather or crystal comb to complement the veil, or choose a birdcage veil with built-in embellishments for a more contemporary touch.

More Styling Tips
To help you make the most of your birdcage veil, here are some additional tips:
- Use bobby pins to secure the veil in your hair and don't be afraid to practice until you achieve the desired look.
- Always ensure your veil arrives in a box to maintain its shape and avoid creases.
- If your veil does arrive flat, mold it in your hands to restore its shape. Steaming can also be used to remove creases, but be patient as it may take a few sessions.
- Keep your veil protected and intact with our beautiful gift boxes, perfect for safekeeping.
