Veils of Great Length, Part III

Mantilla veils and birdcage veils are fantastic alternatives to a traditional veil…

There is something so romantic when a bride wears a mantilla veil.  The veil itself is a stunning piece that demands attention with its gracefulness and beauty.  The mantilla veil is trimmed in ornate lace and it perfectly frames the bride’s face.  You will feel like a princess on your wedding day in a mantilla veil.

If you want to take a sassy approach, donning a birdcage veil is the way to go!  These veils are feisty and full of fun.  They also come in vibrant colors and they can be worn with beautiful headpieces!  I love it!

    That’s me in the second birdcage veil picture! I was so happy to see myself on a website about veils and wanted to share that I made mine with the help of a friend. I was frustrated by not finding what I wanted for any less than a small fortune so I went out and spent $10 on supplies and after having a friend help with the shaping I glued on some swarovski crystals. Of course our amazing photographer gets a lot of credit for capturing it, thanks Melissa!
