Birdcage Veil - where do i start?

I am pondering on the idea of a Birdcage veil.

I have brought my wedding dress, a MoriLee design, and it has an enormous tulle skirt. I am having the skirt made to Tea Length and some of the enormous netting removed! With that in mind and the fact i am having a Bolero made (for my bingo wings, from a layer of the Tulle that is being removed) would a Birdcage look good?

I have had a browse around the internet but there are so many sites i don't actually know where to start. :wall: I would prefer to buy from the UK and i don't mind second hand.

So good people of MSE anyone brought one or have a site to recommend?

    Loads of birdcage veils on Etsy for good prices. If you want something made for you i used a brill milliner called Marie Claire in Ireland...she was excellent and reasonaly rpcied i thought given the work that went into customising the veil.

  • I've not used them but I think a lot of ladies over on confetti have said good things about deity veil- that they've been very helpful and have good prices.

    I purchased a birdcage veil from Sophie @ Imogens Imagination, although i made the decision about a month before the wedding to wear a traditional veil! She also made all the bows my bridesmaids and I wore on the big day :) She's an absolute gem and so helpful! You can find her on folksy, frooly, her own website and facebook :)
