For a truly couture wedding cake, then the birdcage veil wedding cake design stands apart as the ultimate style statment for fashionista brides and those who love vintage style.  We have two exquisite examples of wedding cake millinery above by Sweet Bloom Cakes, Australia (image by Nattnee Photography) and Cove Cake Design, Ireland (above right).

Artfully arranged tulle held in place with a single sugar flower corsage creates a dramatic silhouette in the design below (image via Pinterest).

Softly structured tulle (below right,  The Pastry Studio,  Mark Dickinson Photography) or “merry widow veiling” (below left by Couture Cupcakes & Cookies) can be used to create this chic accessory for your cake. You’ll find a tutorial here courtesy of Wedding Chicks showing you how to DIY a birdcage veil.
