When Reese Witherspoon starred in Sweet Home Alabama, she showed women everywhere the beauty of a birdcage veil. Well for 2008, the birdcage veil is gaining popularity.
A birdcage veil is made of a material that resembles fishnet and covers strictly the bride’s face (it’s clipped to or combed into the back of the hair). This vintage style started gaining popularity about a year ago, and now it’s popping up everywhere.
Pair it with a pillbox hat and a champagne dinner suit for an elegant, sophisticated look, or go retro by attaching the veil to a comb and wearing it with a sixties-style tea-length dress. Birdcage veils are available at most bridal shops. This is a wonderful elegant look instead of the traditional long wedding veil.

[...] Birdcage Veils Gaining Popularity for 2008 [...]
I love the birdcage veil. I saw one for the first time on Whose Wedding is it Anyway. I am getting married and I have chosen the birdcage veil.
I am attempting to make my own birdcage veil. I just think they are so neat and something you can pass on to future generations.
