Back in Fashion – the Blusher Veil

Headpiece with Blusher Veil

We are so delighted to see the resurgence of the beautiful and elegant Wedding accessory, the Blusher Veil

These were very popular in the 1920's and 1930's and are now regaining their rightful place in the Wedding Fashion industry.

Sometimes called a Russian Birdcage Veil or French Netting Veil, and held in place by a comb, these beautiful and refined headpieces are suitable for a Bride to wear for a Vintage inspired look, or for the Mother of the Bride or Groom, for an elegant and sophisticated finishing touch.

This is a great accessory for a Wedding where the Bride does not wish to wear a Traditional Bridal Veil, but rather wants something special.

This type of headpiece could also be worn for an elegant Wedding Vow Renewal ceremony where a Bridal Veil would not be appropriate.

You may recall this veil from the Movie “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer”, where Jessica Alba, playing Sue Storm, delighted the audience with this fabulous double veil combination.   

With her face modestly covered with the net veil, combined with the long sheer wedding veil behind.  This was so beautiful!  When worn this way, you can remove the back veil and wear the birdcage veil as a pouf during your Wedding reception.

Usually made with French Netting, Feathers and Rhinestones or Swarovski Crystals, these lovely items have a timeless elegance which lends itself to the modern wedding so beautifully, and after being overlooked for decades, the Birdcage Veil is poised and ready to make a huge comeback!

So, if you are looking for a Vintage look for your wedding, or a non-traditional veil, perhaps a Birdcage or Blusher Veil might be for you!

Happy Wedding!
