So now that I have posted this, I just found this forum
http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/are-birdcage-veils-trendy-or-timeless
Leave it to me to start another thread haha
30 years AGO...a bird cage veil was classy. 30 years before THAT, it was classy. It will ALWAYS be timeless and classic, and could never be trendy, because it's anything but! It's vintage, retro, classic, stylish, and never a wrong decision. DO, DO, DO!! :-) I'm considering the same, despite my very traditional lace gown and Catholic ceremony! Do you have any pics of ones you are interested in? Have you looked on Etsy??? Ohhh so many beautiful choices! Check it out!
I questioned the same thing, and this is the conclusion that I came to: whether we like it or not, our weddings will all look slightly dated in 5 or 10 years. I say go with whatever makes YOU happy and beautiful on your wedding day... don't worry about the future! :)
The one I purchased was a vintage birdcage from 1956, so I would say they are timeless 
. It looks like some of the modern ones being sold today, complete with a flower and feather fascinator.
My sister wore one 2 years ago, when you couldn't even find them in the stores, now they are everywhere. I feel they are overdone now. Just like wearing chuck taylors with your dress.
in 30 years they prob wont be as popular, but that is fashion. things come in and they go out but classic things still look classic. I think birdcages are one of those. Who knows, maybe your daughter will bring them back because of how beautiful it looked on you :)
I know I just can't decide. I do feel like they are a little over done now, but still cute. Plus where I am having my wedding, I am pretty sure I will walk down the isle and people will say what the heck is on my face haha. But I was looking at buying this birdcage veil from someone on the weddingbee because she had some cute flowers that goes with it, but hrmmmm I just don't know

Ok, so I am either trying to decide to talk myself into or out of buying and wearing a birdcage veil with my dress the day of. But.... I don't want to look back on my wedding photos and think, What the eff was I wearing??? So what do you think? Do you think birdcage veils are just a current trend or classic and traditional?
