vintage bird cagesI pulled this photo out of Good Housekeeping. I love the idea of finding a beautiful vintage bird cage to start my spring container gardening. Turns out, I also love the idea for our wedding. Bird cages are a popular solution for the wedding gift table but I've rarely seen them blooming like this. You don't necessarily need a entire bird theme to incorporate this look into your wedding. Just ask your florist to send an extra flower or two to decorage the cage. The bird cage will look as if it was custom designed just for you. Above: Bird cages hung from trees in an outdoor wedding shoot via Br...

POUFS AND CAGESSmoot Photo Once reserved for the informal wedding, short veils are not only chic for the most casual civil ceremony, we've been seeing them at many ultra-formal weddings lately. This is partly because poufs and cages can be elegant and easy to wear all at once--no lugging around that excess tulle come reception time. Also when brides first started sporting them a couple years back, they were a new and different statement away from the traditional veil.. Believe me, I had a ball designing these small confections of net and tulle and they're some of my all time fav...

perfect bound vintage post: bird cage decorThis post about vintage bird cages is a perfect bound favorite. I still get emails from brides asking where they can find unique bird cages for their wedding decor and how to incorporate them into their overall theme. The answer is, they pop up in the most unexpected of places. Visit site like Etsy and eBay for truly original bird cages or browse home decorating shops like Smith and Hawken and Wisteria Home for functional yet decorative designs. My favorite kind of birdcages are old and rickety, made of wood and stained a deep, dark brown as shown below. The perfect solution to an otherwise ta...

Bird Cage Wedding VeilsWho started the trend? Movie stars, of course! Reese Witherspoon donned one in Sweet Home Alabama, then Grey’s Anatomy star, Katherine Heigl wore a bird cage veil at her 2007 winter wonderland wedding in Park City, Utah. This glamourous star has true old Hollywood style and wore it just shadowing her beautiful eyes for a sultry vintage feel . Traditional bird cage veils or face veils as they were called in the 1940’s are crafted with either French or Russian netting. French netting has a delicate soft lace feel and Russian netting has a bit more volume and has more pouf. Wearing a bird c...

Cage Veil AppealOne trend I never tire of is the cage veil. Commonly made of a wide net, it falls just short of the lips, making the wearer bewitching, sassy, and sophisticated all at once. There is a decidedly vintage feel to a cage veil, which was made popular in the ’40s by women who wanted a chic alternative to the longer, more ornate veils of the time. Paired with a large flower or other dramatic accessory, it’s a great way to glam up your look!

Wedding Trend - Cage Veils (posted by Dynamite Weddings)Cage veils at weddings were huge in 2009 and will be just as big in 2010. These chic veils are a great way to add an edge to a traditional ceremony and come in a variation of lengths. When choosing your cage veil make sure it comes to about your nose so that it will cover your eyes and a little extra space. Cage veils go great with vintage weddings, but can really fit into any wedding theme. Photo courtesy of Altamoda Bridal ...
