DIY Birdcage Veil – Glamorous, Gothic & Totally Eco
DIY is all the rage in weddings and, although its most often seen in decor and invites, it can be a fantastic adventure in personalized fashion too!

These photos were taken for a bridal glamour shoot by the creative Jen Shannon Photography team. All of the items that are on the veil, minus the faux feathers, were re-purposed. The veil was a pre-owned large bird cage veil that was cut down to a smaller size. Even the clip-on flower was taken from an old dress and attached to the veil to create a Glam-Goth wedding veil to match the bride’s edgy gown. This is custom eco design at it’s finest!!!

Where do you score pre-loved chic embellishments and findings like these? Try your local second hand store, grandmother’s dusty closet and online resale shops, like Ebay. You’ll be amazed how easy it is to sew, hot glue and pin together a custom veil or hairpiece that’s the perfect match to your personality.
