The birdcage veil is having a huge fashion moment and brides are really embracing this look now, not just for chic civil ceremonies, but as a centrepiece for their ceremony look. It’s iconic, elevates your style, it’s easy to wear, and lends an instant sense of confidence and individuality. In my latest collection, Reverie, I’ve reimagined my best-selling birdcage veils with new shapes, materials, and embellishments, including sheer tulle, soft 3D florals, delicate dustings of pearls or crystals, and quietly sculptural silhouettes.

Top Tip - How to Measure for Longer Veils

To ensure your veil complements your dress, measure from the point where you plan to secure the veil (usually the crown of your head) down to the end of your train. Add 20-30cm to this measurement for a perfect cascading effect.
