Off the record: Birdcage veil tutorial

How to make your own birdcage wedding veil!

For my wedding, I wanted a really simple clean and classic look. And I had to have one of those vintage looking birdcage veils. Last year they were kind of hard to come by, and pretty expensive so I ended up making it myself. Recently I’ve been seeing them around more often, but the price tag is usually between $150-$500. Nonsense! You can make one yourself for about $10.

Here’s your shopping list:

9 inch white veiling less than $2 a yard here.

2 toupee clips (you can find these on ebay or a local wig shop for about $4 a pair. The ones I used are 3 cm long)

needle and thread

embellishments to cover up the clips (I used ribbon and glass beads)

I am a self confessed lover of this site. So it was rude not to share with you, this cute wedding hair tutorial.What do you think?  I loving the messy just thrown together look, it would work really well with clean line/simple wedding dress.

I’m excited to share another hair tutorial! My friend (and hair genius) Caroline adores this gorgeous pretzel braid, which she says is easy enough for brides to do themselves. So, we met at our favorite wedding shop, and Jamie Beck took photos. Doesn’t her hair look breezy and romantic?

Getting your vintage hair style right is a difficult thing to achieve. Pin curls and setting patterns have become out of fashion, and knowledge how to do them correctly is no longer passed on from generation to generation. Photo stylist Lauren Rennells was so frustrated by the lack of information on vintage hair styles that she researched and published her own book on the subject.

Vintage Hairstyling is now in its second edition and gives details on a range of styles from the Twenties to the Sixties. Here we have caught up with Lauren to talk about vintage hair styles and how to best achieve them.
