birdcage veil

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.

This is a combination we LOVE: brides in glasses + veils! It’s a killer combination for looking sweetly vintage. And if your plan is a Juliet cap veil, then it’s all the better. I rounded up some of our favorite brides in both glasses AND veils to see what inspiration could be found. As a bonus, I’m also including some gorgeous Juliet cap veils that you can buy for your own wedding to wear with those glasses. Let’s get to the bespectacled cuties!

Can you tell we’re already excited about Halloween?! This Elmwood Zoo Halloween wedding with Laura and Chris was a spooky wedding of creeptastic proportions. Guests arrived in costume (with awards at the reception!).

Let’s explore all of the creepy details including the Simpsons reference cufflinks, black and white gown, squee-worthy purple bridesmaids dresses, skull centerpieces… until death do us part.
