Brides used to wear long veils to symbolize their virginity and the unveiling was meant to symbolize consummation after marriage. So the birdcage veil must have been a way of saying, "My virgin status ain't none of your biz-nas!"
I'm kidding, of course. I'm not really sure what the catalyst was for a
shorter veil - perhaps brides just wanted to be able to see better
- but whatever the case, these birdcage veils are pretty darn adorable.
And if you are so inclined, skip the veil altogether and opt for a
handmade fascinator. All of the below are handcrafted from Deeds and Petunia. Kinda makes me want to get married all over again just so I can wear one of these!

...consummation after marriage. That's exactly what my mother said to me. But he was so impatient. Well, can't blame him. :)
p.s. I prefer headpieces over wedding veils.

A wedding veil is the perfect way to complete the perfect bridal ensemble, from the dress to the jewelry to the shoes. The wedding veil symbolizes suspense and a new beginning for the bride, her groom, and all the guests.
