Veils seem to be a necessary accessory for every bride on her special day. There are many styles and designs of veils available to choose from, giving bride’s a bit a variety to choose from. However, when I was faced with my veil decision I just could not see myself in a traditional veil; it just did not suit my personality, nor did I think it complimented me or my look for the day. Going against the traditional grain, I went with a “birdcage” veil, which I loved! Here are pictures of my birdcage veil:

 This is a DIY flower comb made to attach the veil to my hair.

For those of you wishing to be a little less than traditional in your veil selections there are other options to entertain such as wedding tiaras, hats, combs/barrettes, headbands, flowers, etc, which I wanted to share. First, let me share a couple other birdcage veils with you:
