Can i add a haircomb to a birdcage veil?

Ive decided on a birdcage veil. But im thinking of adding a hair comb to the side of it so itll sparkle. What willl be the best way to attach it without it looking tacky? Can i attach it so it wont be underneath the veil, itll be on top of it?

  • Is your birdcage veil just plain? If so I think the bling will add a nice effect. 

    Nice choice of comb, by the way. Very classy :)

  • Oh! Forgot to add, does the birdcage already have a comb on it? If it does it might be hard to put a comb on top of another comb.

  • the birdcage veil will be plain. The only comb it will have is a plain metal one attched on the back.

  • I think as long as that metal comb is hidden, adding the jeweled comb will add some glamour. :)

  • thats wht i was thinking. But the jeweled comb i would put on the side of my head, as opposed to on top of the plain metal comb in the back

  • I think its a great idea and will spice up your hairstyle :) And then if you want you can take off the birdcage and just leave the comb for your reception.

  • Do you already have the veil? If not try looking for a birdcage veil that attaches with bobby pins, Venetian or bandeau styles tend to use them. I'm also doing a birdcage veil with a decorative comb and it was easier and more comfortable to hide a bobby pin than another entire comb and it allowed me to have the decorative comb oriented horizontially (I agree that the vertical decorative comb looks silly). You can't coverup the veil comb if you have them entering your hair differently and if you want to take the veil off it's harder. My silky stick straight thick hair had trouble supporting two combs together and the decorative comb started to pull away from my head with the weight. I bought some cheap plastic combs from the craft store to see what my hair would put up with before buying anything.
