    So I've tried to make two birdcage veils and would like to know if either of them look good enough to wear on my wedding day or should I keep trying?

    One is with a headband and one is without a headband.  My hair is going to have much more volume in the back and along the sides for the day of. SO I will try to hide the end under my top hair layer.

    I like the non-headband one the best. They both look great, but headbands always hurt my head after a while, which is why I picked the non-headband one :)

    I like the look of the headband one better, but if it bothers you (like toothfairyb, the headbands hurt me) then he one without looks  nice too.

    I think the one without the headband looks best on you.  IMO, something about the headband takes away from the delicateness of the birdcage veil

    They both look great. I am also not a headband person. They either hurt my head or fall off, so I would say the non-headband one. They both look great on you though, so whichever one you choose, it will be the right one :-)

    I think the veil looks much more delicate and ethreal with out the headband, and overall is a softer look. I think your FI will be happy with whatever option you choose :)

    Too hard to choose! they booth look REALLY nice! I have hair shorter than yours and will be wearing a birdcage too, and one of the issues for me is finding a hair flower of 'thing' that is light enough not to weight my do down, but has a study enough clip to stay in! Hence a headband is a very good idea :-)

    HOWEVER, I am going with a non headband option, much like your non headband look, as I want to be able to take the veil off and keep the flower on...

    Just something to consider!
