Whoever that masked woman was, she stole his heart. The small but mighty veil features just enough crystal-studded leaf detail to rev its engine from
a purr to va-va-voom vroom. Attached to combs with organdy ribbon, this wisp of large gauge netting may be worn with the embellishment on either side. Lovely paired with the white feather hat, too. NOW AVAILABLE IN WHITE OR IVORY
As shown: $50
Unembellished: $40

There are plenty of reasons to wear a black veil–or any other color. The birdcage is certainly not limited to brides, especially when paired with a fascinator or a feather hat, or even a big silk bow. We offer the basic birdcage in more than 30 colors, most with or without chenille dots.

Fresh and flirty, this baby-blue birdcage is so soft and light, you’ll hardly know it’s there. And adding a bit of color to your ensemble is a trend almost as hot as birdcage veils this year.
Shown here tilted into a wedge, this pale veil satisfies both the Something New and Something Blue requirements. Our bride added a beaded brooch, her own Something Old (and possibly borrowed). Two clear combs keep it secure.
Available in more than 30 colors, most with or without chenille dots. Dots of a different color may be hand-placed. Contact us at orders@overthetopfascinators.com for special orders.

You don’t have to get married on the beach to wear this birdcage veil, but it does seem like a match made in heaven, doesn’t it? The wide-gauge netting is stiff enough to hold up to a strong breeze, a good choice for an outdoor wedding. The silk flowers are hand-sewn onto the veil, not a separate comb, allowing them to float further forward on the face. The birdcage itself is secured by two combs.
Off the beach, this veil is suddenly chic, especially with the hair in a severe bun.

She wants it all, and usually finds a way to get it.
In this case, the bride wanted the fresh look of a birdcage, but couldn’t quite let go of her childhoodfantasy of a flowing veil. Voila’! This extra-full double length birdcage bridges the gap perfectly and while performing a balancing act with a fuller dress or a tall bride. Shown here with a pair of ivory peonies featuring a smattering of lacy petals and pearly centers. Veil shown in ivory, also available in white.

Birdcage veils are the current look of choice for movie stars both on and off the screen. (Is Sweet Home Alabama stuck in your head now, too?) The options are endless. Here it’s worn with fascinator, but it can go solo, too. The fluffy white feathered hat shown above can perch atop the ‘cage. The veil can have chenille dots. Or be another color. This chic style works well with narrow silhouettes, including wedding suits, and is great for the short-haired woman or the older bride who might feel silly in a flowing veil but still wants the world to know she’s getting married.

Fascinator: $ 40
