With all the focus on the wedding dress you may have pushed the veil to the back of your mind, but before you write off the idea all together have a read of the hottest veil trends for 2013 from the classic style to the completely original. If you’re having a vintage inspired wedding then a bird cage veil is the perfect choice, this type of veil is a trend that is rapidly gaining popularity and has been seen up down all of the catwalks. Travel back to the 1940’s where the classic netting is attached to a pillbox or hair disk, this style will make you look truly glamorous and help you channel the vintage vibe.

\nIf you’re looking for something more unique then instead of a classic veil why not wear feathers instead? Over the years brides have seemed to drop the whole veil idea all together so start a new trend by wearing feathers which will defiantly make you stand out on your special day, think Carrie Bradshaw and get inspired by the cobalt blue plume in the Sex and the City movie. If you would still like a veil then choose a simple style and then personalise it by adding feathers that fit your colour scheme. Bridal hair feathers can be an exceptional accent to your entire ensemble and can transform your simple veil into a glamorous fashion statement.\nCathedral veils have become increasingly popular since the wedding of Kate and William; this style will defiantly create a `wow` factor for you and your guests. This wedding veil should be chosen for the indoor wedding ceremony since it creates a very formal atmosphere and can be difficult to manoeuvre so you don’t want to catch stains all over that beautiful veil. If you want to add a unique twist to the cathedral veil then buy one with embellishments, the big trend is lace, whether it is white, in patches, or very subtle, it really gives a soft and detailed look to any veil.\nHopefully these top trends have helped you to choose the perfect wedding veil and will make you feel elegant on your big day!
