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.

As shown (veil only): $60

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.

As shown $90

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.
