You know what I love bout veils? That it's a one time only. There is just something so grand about having a special piece that you'll only wear once and have such an impact on your appearance. I am so glad that more brides are wearing them again.
I agree! I also love that it balances out thier look w/ the big white dress on the bottom. I've had a couple brides wear the birdcage veils and they looked so fabulous. Even though the veil was so small, it made big impact on thier overall look. Love it!
