How to wear a Bridal Birdcage Veil with side combs





Use a few hairpins to keep veil in place

A question brides ask us is "How do I place and wear a birdcage veil?" Well we listened and made it a point at our last photo session to take step by step photos of how to place and wear a bridal birdcage veil. This is just one way to place and wear a birdcage veil with side combs. But it should give you the general idea of how to use a birdcage veil with combs on each side.

Pictured above is a beautiful vintage style bridal birdcage veil with side combs and separate crystal vine comb. By adding the separate accent comb to the side (as shown above) this look gives you the option of removing the veil and still having a hair accessory in place to accent your hairstyle. Some creative ideas to change the look above are to choose a different style accent comb (flowers, crystals, pearls) or perhaps choose a larger accent comb.
