Veils are a key element in identifying the bride to be and used to be worn to protect the bride from evil spirits. Fast forward a few decades and the veil is seen as a symbol of the bride's innocenece and purity. Nowadays, the veil is more of a fashion accessory and one of the hottest styles is the bird cage veil. What exactly is a bird cage veil? It's a short veil that covers the face up to the chin and usually made of russian veiling or millinery netting.
