You can play with it so many ways, I thought it would look funny once I pulled it back but it's so flattering.

It's a simple birdcage veil that goes down past your chin and looks really cute flipped back for more practicality.  It's made of a nice fabric, better than the plastic-looking veils I saw at bigger chain bridal stores.  I liked how it created a dome around my face without touching at all so after awhile, I forgot it was there.  There is no embellishment on it, just the veil attached to a comb, so I added a rhinestone comb to my hair to dress it up a bit.  
Though I don't think I'd pay $120, the $30 rental was well worth it.

Rented this veil for a vintage styled shoot. The veil is extremely large, so you have to use bobby pins to shape and secure it. 

More difficult to shape than predicted, but still pretty. 

I knew I wanted to wear a birdcage veil for my wedding, and knowing it was nothing I'd ever wear again, renting it was a great option! It came in a box that kept it pretty well contained. The netting allowed for the comb to be flipped either way. The only negative/point I'd bring up for future renters is that the veil probably needs to be secured with a bobby on either side because it was placed perfectly and then once I went outside it flipped back and I didn't notice it until hours later. It obviously didn't look bad, or my bridal party would have noticed, but it wasn't how I intended to wear it. :)

So, I'm pretty indecisive so I ended up with about a million options for what to wear on my wedding day and ended up making the game time decision to wear this birdcage veil.  It was really cute and I think I'm glad I wore it. Downsides: it's not that big so in some photos you can see it doesn't cover the entire width of my head. Other downside that I should have anticipated: It doesn't stay up, so when my groom came in for the kiss it kept flipping back down, which actually ended up making for a lovely dramatic moment when I reached into my hair, ripped it out, and tossed it to my MOH.  

No matter how I tried I just couldn't get this to lay right.... It stuck out way too far. I tried flipping it both ways, putting heavy books on it to help squish it, and even strategically hooking some of the netting on the teeth of the comb. Did not end up wearing this.
