In bridal fashion, the veil style made from short netting that usually frames part of the face is the birdcage veil.
Birdcage veils are typically made with Russian or French net, a relatively open mesh that creates a structured, graphic look. They may cover one eye, the upper face, or the face down to the chin, depending on how the net is cut and attached. The veil is commonly secured to a small hat, fascinator, comb, or headband.
The style became especially associated with early- and mid-twentieth-century fashion, when shorter veils and hats were prominent alternatives to floor-length bridal veils. It has since returned in vintage-inspired and minimalist wedding styling.
A birdcage veil is not the same as a blusher. A blusher is defined by covering the face before the ceremony, whereas a birdcage veil is defined mainly by its short net construction and face-framing shape.
