Some of the biggest changes in bridal the past couple years have been in head wear. While the traditional veil will always be with us, donning long, flowing tulle isn't for every bride. If you’re looking for alternatives, birdcages like the one below are a hot option right now. One of the advantages of wearing this short wisp of veiling is ease. More of a hybrid between headpiece and veil, you can go from ceremony to reception without unhooking or dragging around layers of tulle. Vintage and up-to-the-minute all at once, birdcages are incredibly versatile and go with just about any gown.

The bridal hat is still something unexpected and unique. Worn imaginatively, they do make style-savvy statements and tend to be worn by fashionista brides who like working their whole look. Never as popular in the US as in Europe, I predict we'll see a few like the two below making their way into mainstream bridal within the next couple years.

The great thing is, ball gowns, A-lines, evening gowns and sheaths all look fantastic paired up with the right hat. There are tons of styles to choose from. Most of the hats shown here here are wide-brimmed but the small cocktail hat (pictured way above) with a wisp of nose veil is the most common we've seen for wedding wear.
