Short veils are ’40s, ’50s and ’60s vintage-inspired and totally on-trend. Our birdcage veil wedding inspiration is full of wedge veils, blusher veils, and bandeau veils, all held on with skullcaps, fascinators, or combs.

Janna & Nick’s Motorcycle-themed, whimsical wedding celebration

After seeing Janna’s motorcycle sprocket bouquet (and, for some of us, learning what a sprocket is), we knew that we had to know all about this wedding and the creative, motorcylcle-loving (and, as it turns out, ex-wrestler and theater geek) couple behind it. Some of us (me) also have totally developed friend/mentor crushes on the bride. -Becca

Joan and Tom’s upcycled carnival cabaret wedding
