If you are considering a veil for your wedding day attire, but want something a little different and unique, you may want to consider a birdcage veil. The birdcage veil became popular in the 30’s and 40’s, and is once again making a comeback. The birdcage veil is made from netting, usually diamond-shaped. These veils can vary in length from just covering the eyes, to covering the entire face. They are also available in several colors, although most brides do tend to go with the classic white or ivory.

Birdcage veils can range from simple and understated, to dramatic and bold. Depending on the look you are trying to achieve. You may want to add adornments such as feathers or crystal accents. Birdcage veils can also be attached to a hat, for a unique and classy look. Typically the birdcage veil has either one or two combs, to attach it the brides head.

The birdcage veil is versatile in the fact that it can be worn in different ways. It can be worn directly over the face, or at an angle. The most common lengths of the birdcage veil are 9 inches, to cover a portion of the face, or 18 inches to cover the entire face. It may also be worn by bridesmaids, since they can be made to match any dress.

Birdcage veils range in price as well. There are several companies that will custom make a birdcage veil, however this may be more costly. You can also find these veils at bridal shops premade. These may be a little more cost efficient. If you are ordering a veil, remember that in order for it to look the same on you as it does on the models, you may have to work with the netting.

If you are working with a small wedding budget, but absolutely love the look and feel of the birdcage veil, why not try making your own. If you find one that you really like, get a picture and try your hand a veil making. It doesn’t require much sewing, just a little creativity. The materials that you will need are; netting, combs, thread, any adornments that you may want to add to your veil.

The birdcage veil is undoubtedly one of the sassiest yet elegant bridal accessories out there. Adding this to your wedding day look is a great way to add a little of your personality without going overboard. The varieties of length and color also make this one of the more popular veils.

Although these veils are beautiful on brides, they can also be worn for other special occasions. Don’t limit your look to the ordinary, be bold and try a new look.

When it comes to choosing your wedding undergarments, function has to take priority. No doubt when you envision bridal lingerie, the first picture that comes to mind is something white, lacy, and romantic. However, in many cases, those types of undergarments are not the ones that are needed to create the best possible fit for the wedding gown. Remember that you can always choose special romantic lingerie to wear on the wedding night and the honeymoon; don’t worry if the foundation under your gown is more utilitarian than beautiful.

Obviously a regular bra with straps cannot be worn under a strapless bridal gown. Some brides can get away with a standard strapless bra, as long as the back of the gown cuts straight across, with little or no dip in the back. Look for a strapless bra which has a silicone grip strip along the edges to help keep it from slipping down. Many an active dancer has found her strapless bra down around her waist at some point during the evening, so when in doubt, choose a bustier or long line bra instead of a basic strapless.

Most brides will choose to wear a bustier or long line bra under a strapless wedding dress. Because they go to the waist, there is no chance that they will slip around or fall down. There are a variety of materials and cuts available, some of which work wonderfully, and some of which are just terrible. Be very careful when selecting a bustier for your gown, as you want it not only fit well, but also to be well concealed under your dress. If your gown has heavy embellishment or a lot of lace on the bodice, you may be able to get away with a lacy bustier, but in many cases, the lace will show through as bumps under the gown.

Speaking of bumps, take care that the boning of your undergarments does not show through when you are in your wedding dress. Some of the more costly bustiers do a good job of concealing the boning under a smooth layer of fabric for a seamless look. These bras are usually not at all pretty, but they tend to be the most practical. Color is another consideration; match the bustier to the color of your skin, not the color of your bridal gown.

Choosing the right undergarments for the lower half of a strapless gown is usually easier. Many will have built in petticoats, which means that you can get away with underwear that is as fancy as you like. If you plan to wear stockings, choose alluring garters with stockings over unattractive pantyhose. You can really have fun decorating the garters and your undies with details like pearls or crystals to match your bridal jewelry. This will make for a very special look on the wedding night when you wear little more than your lingerie and bridal jewelry. And remember that if you have to choose something practical to disappear under your gown (no v.p.l., please!), you can always pick up something more romantic to wear in the honeymoon suite!

The most traditional lace gowns either have a 1950s ballgown flair or an antique Victorian flavor. The Victorian vintage inspired lace wedding dresses often have beautifully shaped necklines, either long or short sleeves (but never strapless), and may have a softly falling skirt with a sweep train. Wearing your hear in a soft and classic updo will complement the style of the gown and help to show off its special neckline. A very pretty veil length for this type of lace gown is one which falls to mid calf length. Choose one which is trimmed in either a very fine pencil edge border or which has a delicate lace applique on just the lower portion of the gown (not by the face). The veil should fall fairly straight; do not go with a poufy veil for a Victorian inspired dress. A substantial pair of pearl teardrop earrings will finish off the effect beautifully.

On the other hand, if you have a lace wedding gown with a 1950s shape, a fuller veil will look great. These gowns may be created entirely from lace, or have lace appliques on the hem and bodice which embellish a gorgeous silk organza or taffeta. When wearing a bridal gown with a fuller skirt, a bit more fullness in the veil is ideal for balance. A waist length double tier veil with a silk ribbon trim is lovely for a fun and flirty bride. For a formal wedding, opt for a veil which is longer than the train of the gown and trimmed in a wide border of the matching lace all the way around. Sometimes called a mantilla, this is a truly stunning veil which will make a statement.

Lace bridal gowns are not always so demure. A slinky gown made of a lightweight lace like Chantilly can love your curves. The weight and classic grace of lace prevent a clingy gown from appearing too sexy for a wedding. When the gown has a very slim silhouette, a very, very long veil is actually a fantastic match. A long plain veil flowing behind a slender lace gown is truly breathtaking.

Pearls and lace always go together. In fact, many bridal gowns will have pearl beading on the lace for more elegance. When wearing a strapless lace gown, especially one with a 50s influence, a strand of pearls is ideal. Either choose a traditional full strand of pearls, or wear a pearl tin cup necklace for a lighter look. Demure brides can accent a tin cup necklace with a classic pair of pearl studs, or select a more trendy pair of earrings such as pearl drop stilettos. Either way, the bridal jewelry will enhance the beauty of a lace wedding gown, creating an absolutely lovely vision for your wedding day.

Veil
The bridal veil is a traditional yet stylish hair accessory. Bridal veils come in different lengths and shapes. Some shapes may fit your face better than others. One of the more common veil lengths worn today is the elbow length veil. This style allows you to have the formal look of a veil without overpowering your wedding dress. If you want to go with a dramatic, yet classy look you may want to consider a longer veil. The cathedral veil is one of the most formal veils, and extends 3.5 yards from the headpiece. Although these veils are beautiful, make sure that it does not take away for your dress or the overall appearance that you are aiming for on your wedding day.

Tiara
If you are going for more of a Princess feel with your wedding ensemble and wish to carry that over into your accessories, you may want to go with a tiara. After all, every princess needs her crown. Tiaras come in a variety of styles and sizes. Most of them are made with crystals or diamonds. They work well if you are looking for a simple yet noticeable accessory.

Halo
The bridal halo is also a great choice. They are similar to a tiara, but they go around the entire head. They can be simple, or embellished with crystals, flowers, or pearls. You can also wear the halo with a veil, if you would like to combine the two looks. A bridal halo can be worn with short hair cuts as well as an updo.

Bridal Comb
The bridal comb is another popular option. These are simpler than tiaras and halos because they do not go around the entire head. They are usually made with a decorative piece attached to a hair comb. These will work well with any hair length and style. They can also be used as the anchor for a veil. Combs give the look of elegance with the convenience of less hassle.

Head Band
The bridal head band is one of the less popular options, but is still beautiful. These work well for brides who want to wear their hair down for the ceremony. They can also be combined with a veil by attaching it to the back of the band, or using a veil with a comb in front of the head band. These, like any other hair accessory can be simple or elegant, depending on what you are looking for.

Bridal hair accessories are an important part of your wedding day look. You will want to take time to consider all of your options, and consult with your hair stylist. The ultimate goal is to find an accessory that accents your look rather than overpowers it.

The short answer to the question is, it depends. In fact the level to which a bride should accessorize will depend on several factors. The formality of the wedding, the details on her gown, her hairdo, and her own personal style will all play a role in making the determination. A good starting point is to think about how the accessories will look in photographs; if it seems like they will disappear, then more is needed, either in numbers or in the drama of the pieces. Also keep in mind that old adage: if you look in the mirror and one thing jumps out and yells, remove it. This will help you to have balance.

For a formal wedding, typically the gown is more dramatic and the embellishments more lavish. Therefore the accessories need to have a strong presence just so as not to get lost. If you were having a black tie wedding and wearing a bridal gown with heavy silver embroidery, you would generally want to wear a bridal tiara, a Swarovski crystal jewelry set including earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet (or two!), and a veil, possibly with additional embellishment. This may sound like a lot, but anything less is likely to look underdone.

When you are planning to wear a full compliment of bridal accessories, you can keep the look in check by choosing one stand out piece to build your jewelry suite around. In other words, if you have found a fabulous crown covered in sparkling crystals and rhinestones, let that be the focal point of your accessories. Do not add in a three layer choker, a two inch wide rhinestone bracelet, and a jumbo pair of crystal chandelier earrings: that would be way to much and would end up looking like a costume. However, if you took that same sparkly crown and added in a pair of Swarovski crystal bridal earrings with a short drop, a crystal necklace with only one row, and a tin cup style crystal bracelet, the effect would be stunning.

More casual weddings call for a lighter touch with accessories. That may not mean any fewer pieces, just jewelry that is simpler in design. Let’s say that you were planning a beach wedding. The full crown that is perfect for a cathedral would be totally out of place on a sandy beach. A pearl and crystal headband, though, would look wonderful and would also keep your hair from blowing in your face. To coordinate with your bridal headband, you could either layer in beach theme jewelry, or simple bridal jewelry sets with freshwater pearls and hints of crystal accents. The finished look will be just right: enough for a bride, yet also fresh and easy enough for a beach. A veil, by the way, is never too much for a bride as long as the length and details of it are in proportion to the gown and the setting.

Accessories are a critical part of the bridal ensemble. Without jewelry and a headpiece, the bride just does not look finished. The right bridal accessories will not only bring out the best in your wedding gown, but will also highlight your own best features to perfection.

The origins of the wedding veil date back many centuries and are deep rooted in many cultures across the world. One of the first dates back many centuries when it is said the groom would ‘capture’ his bride by throwing a blanket over her. Other origins have the veil covering the bride’s face so that she couldn’t be seen before the wedding ceremony and was common in arranged marriages. Probably the most popular and familiar story relating to wedding veils is they were worn to protect the bride from evil spirits.

Historically wedding veils were symbols of submissiveness and a promise by the bride to obey her new husband. Only after the ceremony would the veil be lifted to reveal the bride for the first time. This may seem outdated by today’s standards but for many brides there is something very beautiful about lifting back a veil to reveal the blushing bride beneath.

But you may be wondering why wedding veils are made from sheer fabric? Apart from the fact if it was opaque the bride wouldn’t be able to see, the reason goes back to biblical times. If you are familiar with the bible then you may recall the tale of Jacob marrying the wrong girl. Jacob wanted to marry Rachel but as the veil was opaque he couldn’t see through it and instead married her sister Leah. It is believed that from this point onwards veils were made in sheer fabrics so the groom could at least see an outline of the bride’s face and be able to recognize that this is the girl he intends to marry.

Throughout history veils and headpieces have varied. Some bride’s preferred tiaras or crowns with the veil attached at the back. Others preferred a headband of silk or fresh flowers.

Veil lengths vary greatly as well. The cathedral length veil is the most formal which will trail along behind the dress train. Chapel length veils touch the floor, elbow length veils are just that – elbow length and are worn with floor length gowns, whilst shoulder length veils are worn with gowns with an elaborate back so that they can be seen.

Wedding veils are not for everyone. Some bride’s feel the look is over fussy or don’t want something sitting around their face. But there can be little doubt that a veil is the perfect finishing touch to a formal wedding gown and makes a beautiful addition to any wedding outfit, whatever length it is.

Let’s face it, there is just something magical about a Christmas wedding. Everyone is in the spirit of the season, and will be feeling especially cheerful as you tie the knot this December. Special holiday inspired bridal jewelry is a wonderful way to embrace the joy of the holidays as a part of your wedding celebration.

One fantastic idea for holiday wedding jewelry is pieces which have been handcrafted with Swarovski crystal snowflakes. The carefully shaped crystals twinkle and glimmer, just like a frosty winter day. They are perfect for anyone in the wedding party (or for the wedding guest looking for a festive pair of earrings to complete her outfit for the big event). The Swarovski snowflakes are so intricate and beautiful that they look best in a simple design, such as on a pendant or as the main decorative element on a pair of drop earrings. They make fabulous bridesmaid jewelry gifts, and are also wonderful for the bride and the mothers of the bride and groom. Best of all, you will be able to enjoy a set of Swarovski crystal snowflake jewelry all winter long.

If you are planning a true Christmas theme wedding, complete with poinsettias, holly, amaryllis, and evergreen boughs, you will want equally traditional holiday themed jewelry. A marvelous idea is Swarovski crystal earrings which are handcrafted to look like tiny perfect Christmas trees! They are absolutely unique, and will be a real conversation starter. Green crystals are layered to form a “tree”, and then finished off with a crystal trunk and a red “star” topper. These precious earrings make ideal gifts of jewelry for a bridesmaid, junior bridesmaid, or an older flower girl. They would be spectacular with red or green bridesmaid dresses.

Everyone loves a snowman, and that is another fun motif for winter wedding jewelry. Little snowman earrings are great for a wedding in any winter month, not just December. They are handcrafted in either Swarovski crystals or pearls, complete with black crystal “top hats”. Unique snowman earrings are not only wonderful for the wedding party, but they also make sweet thank you gifts for anyone involved in your wedding, from the bridal shop owner to your wedding coordinator.

If your wedding is close to New Year’s Eve, a very sparkly all crystal look is gorgeous. Bridal jewelry sets which are created with dazzling Swarovski crystals will help you to celebrate your New Year wedding in high style. Especially fabulous are long drop crystal earrings with a teardrop shaped crystal topped with a ruffle of round crystals; they look amazing with a bridal gown with a ruffle detail. Have fun choosing festive jewelry for your winter wedding. These special pieces will help to make your entire wedding party get into the spirit of your holiday wedding. Best of all, holiday theme jewelry can be enjoyed over and over each holiday season.

The first step in planning a Hawaiian themed wedding is choosing the perfect location. When you think about Hawaii you picture lush outdoor landscapes full of tropical beauty. Depending on your location, this may seem like a big obstacle, but not if you think outside of the box. Check with local golf courses, parks, and if you are lucky enough to live in an area that has a beach, that is even better. You may not think of a golf course as being a “tropical location”, but many times they are beautifully landscaped, and with a few additions it works beautifully. Parks, the same as golf courses, usually only require the addition of a few tropical flowers to transform into an amazing Hawaiian site.

The wedding attire can be really fun with a Hawaiian themed wedding. Think floral prints, bright colors, and aloha shirts. Rather than have the traditional tuxedos for the groomsmen and ushers, why not go with something a little more relaxed like an aloha shirt. As for the bridesmaids, floral print dresses work beautifully. When deciding on the attire, do not be afraid of bright beautiful colors. With a Hawaiian theme, they work wonderfully. If you want to add even more Hawaiian accents, consider leis. Brightly colored leis will defiantly add a Hawaiian feel to the ceremony. If you have enough money in your wedding budget, you could even have a lei for all of your guests.

Planning the reception of a Hawaiian themed wedding can be extremely fun. Choosing to skip the traditional formal reception and going with a luau places everyone in party mood. To decorate the luau use a lot of fresh flowers. Orchids, anthuriums and gingers are all great choices. Luau tables can easily be decorated with loose flowers, or you may even want to cut some of the leis and tie them end to end, to create a beautiful table runner. Fresh tropical fruit such as pineapple also fits nicely with the Hawaiian theme, and are both budget friendly and available year round. Another way to decorate your reception is by using brightly colored fabric, with or without Hawaiian print, and sea shells. The possibilities are endless.

Food for the reception can also have a more relaxed feel. Many traditional luaus involve a roasted pig, along with several other dishes. If you are a little worried about what to prepare, you may want to look for a caterer who specializes in Hawaiian or tropical cuisine. Tropical drinks also add more character to your celebration.

If you really want to get into the Hawaiian feel, and are not afraid to be bold, why not hire a group of hula dancers and fire dancers. This will definitely be a hit. You could even have extra hula skirts available for your guests if they would like use them.

Choosing to go with a Hawaiian theme for your wedding day can be both fun and relaxing. The possibilities for decorating and entertaining are endless, and can be accomplished on both large and small budgets. Your wedding day is a day to celebrate with family and friends, what better way to do that, than with a huge party.

The engagement party should take place fairly soon after he pops the question. Usually somewhere between one and four months. If you hold it fairly soon after the engagement becomes official, this gala can be when the announcement is officially made to your extended circle of family and friends. Keep in mind, though, that just as with a bridal shower, anyone invited to the engagement party should also be invited to the wedding.

Engagement parties will often be much larger events than a bridal shower. The idea of a shower is for the bride-to-be to have an afternoon spent in the company of her closest female relatives and friends. The engagement party, on the other hand, will involve a much broader spectrum of guests. Your good friends will be there, but so will your dad’s golfing buddy and your mom’s old collage roommate. Depending on the size of your parents’ social circle, it can really end up being more for their friends than yours.

It is customary that no gifts be brought to an engagement party, but this tradition is not always followed these days. Because an engagement party really is not the same as a shower, you might consider putting “no gifts, please” on the invitation. If you decide to leave it up to your guests, be sure to get your bridal registry done before the party. When people bring engagement gifts, they also know that they will be buying a wedding present down the road, so this gift is generally going to be from the less pricey end of your wish list.

The party itself can be any style that suits your family. Engagement parties are often done as cocktail parties with appetizers. The guest list is usually too large to lend itself to a seated dinner in a home, so a mix and mingle type of event makes more sense. Besides, it really is not the food that matters at an engagement party; it is the Champagne! Expect plenty of joyful toasts in your honor.

The bride-to-be will definitely want to get a pretty new dress for her engagement party, no matter how formal or informal it may be. Certainly keep it line with the general flavor of the party, but also feel free to indulge in a really gorgeous frock – you are the guest of honor, after all (well, you and your fiancé are). Get your hair done for the party as well, so it will look fantastic in the pictures – nothing too fancy is required, but at least have your hair blown out by a professional.

Although it is not always done, the bride’s parents might want to make a special gesture for the couple or at least the bride during the engagement party. Certainly, the father of the bride should make a toast welcoming his future son-in-law into the family. It would also be very thoughtful for the father of the bride to present his daughter with a beautiful necklace or other piece of bridal jewelry. By the time she wears the bridal jewelry on her wedding day, it will already have great sentimental meaning for the bride.

Beyond the basics, the rest of the engagement party is really about what suits the newly engaged couple and their families. If you love to dance, you can have a band. If you prefer to keep things more relaxed, you can have a barbeque in the backyard. The type of engagement party does not matter; what matters is the celebration of the upcoming marriage.

Although white has long been the predominant color for weddings, brighter dashes of color have become increasingly popular in recent years. Brides love the idea of using color to add a unique style to their weddings. A pop of color here and there is also a fantastic way to make your wedding attire feel custom and expressive.

One of the first accessories that most brides will select is special bridal jewelry. There are some wonderful ways in which bridal jewelry can be handcrafted with colorful accents while still maintaining that special character that makes it perfect for a wedding. One idea is to choose a handcrafted bridal jewelry set which is created from clear or AB crystals. Add a dash of color by having the designer switch out a few of the clear crystals for ones in your wedding color. This is a great idea, as you can use as much or as little color as you like. Keep the effect subtle with a pastel crystal (pink is especially popular) or go bold and use a stronger color like red.

Another idea for a bridal accessory with color is your wedding hair jewelry. Headbands have been very hot for brides the last few seasons, and they lend themselves to customization. A simple fabric headband can be embroidered with a lovely floral or vine motif in your favorite color. For a bit more pizazz, choose a fabric headpiece and have it beaded with glittering crystals or feminine pearls in a soft rosy color or a rich neutral like bronze. A fantastic alternative is a non-fabric headband made from a wire frame which is adorned with crystals and pearls. A combination of white pearls with colored and clear crystals is modern and fresh. This looks especially stunning when it is a double headband.

You may wish to consider a colorful accessory right on your wedding gown. A vintage inspired brooch can be pinned to the waist of a wedding dress for a dash of color and flair. If you have chosen a trendy one shoulder bridal gown, a fabric flower in a pale blue or pink organza can be stitched to the shoulder for a look that is chic and right in style. A fabric or ribbon sash can be wrapped around the waist of a simple gown to quickly and easily transform it with color.

When you are thinking about wedding accessories, of course your shoes will be important. Even the most traditional bride can have fun with a pair of baby blue silk sandals peeking out from her conservative white wedding gown. Colorful shoes are also a fabulous accent for the ballerina length and hi-low hemlines that will be hot for 2010. Your accessories are a fantastic place to express your individuality and style, so have fun adding colorful accents that will make your bridal ensemble one-of-a-kind.
