Here are some more information for Birdcage Fascinator:
Even after searching high and low to find the perfect wedding gown, your job is still not over. After selecting your dress, you need to add the perfect accessories for the finishing touch.
Accessories need to enhance the dress, not detract from it. They are the pieces that can highlight a feature of the dress or draw the eyes of onlookers to a particular area. Yes, people will remember you floating up the aisle in a white dress, but when they get closer, they will see the detail you have put into your look.
Headpieces and Veils
There are a few notable new trends in headpieces these days, starting with birdcage veils. Remember the stiff dark netting that draped over a woman's face? You probably saw women wearing them in an old black and white movie. They were a symbol of old Hollywood elegance and mystery. Well, that same style has been modified for today's brides.
· One of the simpler styles is the Russian Tulle Blusher with crystals scattered across the netting. Available in white or ivory, this veil is just 9 inches long. It is anchored by a comb and can be worn alone or with a veil. In some versions, the veil is detachable, so after the service, you can lose the veil, but leave in the flower and not disrupt your hair-do.
· If you want a fuller veil, consider the Russian Net Facial Blusher Veil. This stiff netting falls evenly around your face, dropping as low as your chin. After the wedding ceremony, the blusher veil is removed or flipped back.
· For a more elaborate style, check out the Feather Fascinator. A simple, but beautiful headband is used to hold a 5½-inch flower with a rhinestone center, sprays of feathers and a Russian tulle blusher. It comes in white and ivory.
· Another new trend features black headpieces, like the black Russian tulle blusher. A 4¼-inch black flower with a crystal center is the anchor for the 11-inch black veil. Depending on which side you anchor the flower is where the veil drops down over the eye. It's a very dramatic look. For a simpler version of this look, try a black embellished headband with a black flower and just a 4-inch spray of black tulle.
Jewelry
As opposed to the Hollywood stars that walk the red carpet before the Academy Awards, your jewelry does not have to break the bank. What you want are pieces that will add to your dress and bring a sparkle or shine to your look.
· Earrings can be drops, posts or linear dangles. Golden Pearl Cluster earrings combine classic pearls, set in a modern cluster design. There is a necklace that coordinates with the earrings for a perfect look. For a more elegant look, consider Graduated Linear Crystal earrings. These drop earrings add sparkle and shine and would look great if you are planning an up-do.
· If you are wearing a strapless dress, consider covering your neckline with a sparkling mini-bib necklace. A mini-bib is a necklace features two or three strands of crystals or pearls. Many necklaces come with matching earrings, making these sets something of a bargain.
· Bracelets can be as simple as a double row of pearls or as sparkling as a triple row of crystals set in a zig-zag shape.
Shoes
Shoes need to be in step with your overall look. If you are going for an elegant look, then look for a strappy high-heeled sandal, embellished with strands of crystals. If you are wearing a fairytale ball gown, stick with a simple slipper or an elegant peep toe. If your look is strictly modern, then by all means, try some of the new metallic shoes out there - like the Metallic Leopard Print peep-toe, high-heel platform. Remember, with any shoe you select, be sure you have worn them gently before your big day. This is not a day you want blisters getting in the way of fun.
Handbags
While people will be willing to get you want you need, you still need a purse to carry your lipstick, tissues and other personal items. Today's brides have a wide selection of purses that can work with the other accessories.
· Remember those metallic leopard shoes? There is a matching Metallic Leopard Print brocade wristlet. It's just big enough to hold the few essentials you will need.
· Want something more fantastical? Choose a bouquet bag like the Ribbon Rose clutch with silver trim. It is covered in ribbon roses, has a rhinestone kiss-lock and a chain link strap that you can use or tuck inside the bag.
· If you're going for a traditional look, choose something simple like the Embroidered Sequin clutch. This sweet clutch has rows of intricate beading and embroidery. It snaps shut with a kiss-lock closure.

And the Winner Is: Will Awards and Contests Lead to Bigger Things?
Imagine this: you’re a huge rockstar. You’re pool is filled with hotties and your bathtub with champagne. You have a coffee table made out of your signature guitar and your Cadillac Escalade has beer on tap and a flat screen high definition TV. Even with all of the expensive toys and extravagant showpieces in your crib, the thing that first draws the attention of press and partygoers alike: the wall lined with your awards.
Admittedly, human beings, are fascinated with awards. We love to gawk at the shiny trophies, glossy plaques, and framed certificates of any and every kind of winner. And, as a species, we place a lot of stock in the importance, abilities and general “coolness’ of those who've come home “the winner.” So, it’s no surprise that musicians are constantly submitting to the many awards and entering the myriads of contests offered to unsigned artists every year. After all, with a couple of awards on the wall of your garage, can a hot tub full of babes really be that far behind?
But what if you continue to enter and never win? What if time and time again you have to send out the newsletter announcing that you’re not the “Best Band Of The Year” or the “Best Songwriter in the Nation” or even the winner of the “Battle Of The Most Mediocre Bands In The Midwest.” Will you be branded as a loser? Will your fans abandon you, asked to be removed from your mailing list, line their birdcages with your CDs? It is really better to have entered and lost than never to have entered at all?
The following are a few tips that may help you to fill up your trophy room without becoming the laughing stock of the indie music community:
1.) Enter Contests You Have A Chance Of Winning---Sounds like a given, but you’d be surprised how many new bands enter Billboard’s contests for the first time and are then amazed when they don’t walk off with a room full of accolades. Building a resume of award nominations and wins is very similar to building up your reputation as a gigging band or filling up a folder full of press. Start small, submitting to smaller local and regional contests/ awards that you’re more likely to get a nod for then the national and worldwide events. Then you can submit to the bigger organizations with a list of awards and wins on your resume. Everybody loves a winner and seeing that you’ve already won various awards may inspire the powers that be to nominate you for their particular contest.
2.) Pick The Contest That Will Best Publicize Your Band---We all love to win. But more important than basking in the glory of becoming king or queen for a day, awards are fantastic publicity tools for your band. Nothing shines up a bio, website, email blast or blog like the words “nominated” and “won.” These vocabulary heavyweights are certain to perk up the eyes and ears of clubs, fans, press and the industry alike. When deciding which awards/contests to submit for, keep in mind that this organization’s event may well be the flagship of your promotion for months. Sayings like: “vote for us for…”, “we’re nominated for…” and “we’re the winners of…” will top every mailer you send out during the run of the competition, so make sure you get something great out of it for your band, even if it’s not the gold plated statue you’d hoped for.
3.) Promote A Nomination As A Win---Even though it sounds like something your high school band instructor would tell you, just being nominated is really a win for you and your band. So, if you’re lucky enough to garner a nomination for your awards de jour, make sure your promo machine hails you as a winner. Start your announcement with, “We’ve been honored with a nomination for Best Pop Band” and not “We’re one of six bands that may win this award if we get enough votes.” The nomination itself is an accolade of its own accord and should be included to any list of band accomplishments. If, by chance, you happen to win the award or contest, then promote that as another bigger accomplishment. For example: “We’ve been honored with nominations for the Best Music in the Universe Awards in five categories including: Best Drummer, Best Bass, Best Songwriting, and Best Female Vocals, and were thrilled to take home the award for Best Alternative Band.” To fans and industry alike, this looks like five awards and not one.
4.) A Win For A Band Member Is A Win For The Band---As creative people, we all have a need to be recognized for our individual talents, and as such, would all like to be nominated and hopefully win for each of our respective specialties. But awards and contests can be fickle and even though your fans rave about your guitarist or your songwriting, it may be your drummer who walks away with a nomination/award. Remember always that a band is a unit...all for one and one for all...and that without your killer vocals and great songs, your drummer may never have been noticed in the first place. Therefore, promote any nominations and awards for your band’s team as a win for the band. If your singer wins a writing award for his/her lyrics, your band has won. If your bassist gets a pick endorsement, your band has won. If your guitar tech gets nominated for Best Tuning, your band has won.
Awards and contests can be tricky when egos, pride, and the eager anticipation to win, mix in with the already delicate balance of the creative temperaments that make-up a band. Keep this in mind and be careful when entering contests. Sure, it’s fun to get awards and prizes but not if it means your band will break up two weeks later. Enter into contests/award shows as a way to publicize your music and further your career as a band but try not to get caught up in the manic frenzy of seeking award wins like a crack addict in rehab. So, head to the mall, get a plaque engraved that says, “Best Band In The World” and stick it up in your rehearsal room to remind yourself that you’re a winner everyday just for: having the courage to write songs, record them, get up in front of people and play them, deal with critics reviewing your music, weathering rejections from the industry and entering into a very personal creative relationship with three or four other artistic people without murder ensuing. Then, when the time comes that your wall fills up with trophies and accolades from the industry, get a keg of beer invite the groupies and party like the rockstar you are.

Veil help?!?
I am having a Victorian-ish wedding, but not strictly. That period lasted until 1901, and I know I have seen images of women wearing fascinators or birdcage veils (later they were more popular in the 1920s-1950s, making a come-back now), but all I can find are horrifyingly long veils in the most recent images I have found. Am I confused, did they not wear short veils then?
Thanks in advance!
The late Victorians (1890s) saw the bustle disappear, a demi-train and large sleeves now in fashion. If the bride married in church, the dress must have a train, with a veil of the same length. The veil could be lace or silk tulle. From the mid-Victorian era to the 1890s, the veil covered the bride's face and was not lifted until after church. The veil was not used as a shawl after the wedding any more, however. White kid gloves were long enough to tuck under the sleeves, and had a slit in one finger to slip the ring on without removing the glove. Slippers were of white kid, satin or brocade and the heels rose to one inch.
hope this helps good luck
