Hi ladies,

Since I had such a hard time finding information on how to create your own birdcage veil online, I thought I would share this here.

It was actually pretty simple, and if I had of been able to find the netting in the width that I wanted, it would be practically no work at all!

 

I live in Toronto, and I got all of my supplies at Sussman's bridal on Queen St. W. I bought a little extra of everything in case I made a mistake and the total cost was about $60.

 

The 1st step was to cut the 1yrd of netting into half and then very carefully sew it together by putting a running stitch through each square (I actually knotted every few squares). Because I wanted at least 15" width and this was only 9" I had to do this. There will be a slight seam, but you won't even notice it.

Next, add on the metal hair comb at the width you like and attach by very carefully hot gluing it.

 

For the flower/fascinator, these are the materials I started with:

Feathers of different variations, silk flowers, felt to create the 'base':

Start by gluing the longest feathers to the felt base.

Then I put a few stitches in this to make is sit circular:

And again with the next layer:

Add the metal clip (hotglue again):

Now, for the finished product together!

 

Basically just set it as you want and put the comb in your hair and pin it down as appropriate.

I will also be adding scattered rhinestones to it (very carefully with the hot glue).

 

Sorry the pics are a little yecky, it was 2am! lol

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
