Such a great piece! I’ve always wanted one!
February 5th, 2010 at 1:04 am
I want to a pretty mom. My husband and my daughter will love to see me dress up with this hair comb. I hope to win! Thanks!
February 5th, 2010 at 1:53 am
ever since I was a wee lassie…which I may add was only like 15yrs ago…I dreamed that I would have something significantly different then everyone else at there wedding…and I decided that it would be fascinators.
I know neither is…but that birdcage face veil made my heart melt looking at it.
February 5th, 2010 at 2:17 am
I have always wanted a Twigs & Honey hairpiece, so lovely!
February 5th, 2010 at 2:42 am
I absolutely adore Myra! She is so sweet and I was actually one of her very first customers on Etsy! She created ALL the hair pieces for my wedding: not only for my bridesmaid, but a special piece for me to wear to the reception as well! She even made little buitonerres for my mother and grandmothers! I would LOVE to own another Twigs & Honey piece! I think it would be spectacular to wear on a night out with my now husband
February 5th, 2010 at 4:03 am
first off, happy anniversary to kiss the groom!
i’m from the philippines and the commercial birdcage veils here cost so much. as we’re trying to keep our costs at a minimum level, it would help if i’m the lucky person to get this beautiful veil & headpiece from twigs & honey 
February 5th, 2010 at 5:38 am
Oh, how beautiful! It wouldn’t be for me; it would be for my new daughter-in-law. She and my son are getting married in May (even though they are just babies). We have been planning on doing an engagement session with them in March and we are going to do several themes, one is going to be 1950′s Sunday best (she will wear a tea-length dress with white gloves and hopefully, that headpiece and birdcage veil! He will be wearing a Fedora and skinny black tie with a white button down shirt and maybe suspenders, if that won’t be going too far. Ha!
The other theme will be glam/rock with heavy eyeliner and poufed up hair, skinny jeans and my son with his guitar. Then we will do a few of them just being normal, which will mean same as the above, minus the heavy eyeliner.
February 5th, 2010 at 5:44 am
Lovely piece! I would love to wear this for my house parties!
February 5th, 2010 at 5:57 am
I’m a huge fan of Twigs and Honey by Myra. She’s my inspiration when it comes to creating a very beautiful and feminine veils and fascinators. I am an offbeat bride and one of the things that I want to wear on my wedding is a birdcage veil. Coming from a traditional family, I thought everyone will be surprised to see me walk down the aisle wearing a birdcage veil instead of the tradional veil.
One more thing, I want to highlight the design of my gown at the back. Most of the time, this is what everyone else will see during the ceremony. A pretty birdcage veil will definitely complete my ensemble. Besides that I love to have one, I never win in any contest. Hope this will be the first!
February 5th, 2010 at 6:03 am
Hi Elizabeth!!!
It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to treat myself!!
I check your blog everyday and have dreamed of a twig & honey head piece, not the veil quite yet!
This year has been an amazing year for me… I left my full-time job and interned for the amazing Mario Testino, after four months of hard work I was hired just after Christmas. At the same time, I also launched my own photography business. At this moment in my life. I just can not complain. I feel like I have been searching for ‘my tick’ for 27 years, and now photography has come down and picked me up and I’m now flying! It’s not easy by any means, but when someone emails you and says, ‘You made us look so beautiful’ it makes it all worth it!!! I guess I just think I deserve the headpiece for all my hard work and for not giving up
Thanks for inspiring me to get there… to take images as beautiful as yours is another dream which I hope comes true!!!
February 5th, 2010 at 7:07 am
I love Myra’s creation. They are something that you will always treasure for life.
February 5th, 2010 at 7:16 am
I love it! I’ve always wanted to wear a birdcage veil for my wedding. It would be the perfect accessory for my big day – Nov. 13, 2010.
February 5th, 2010 at 7:20 am
My upcoming wedding in November would be a perfect place to showcase the beautiful veil and headpiece–I love the idea of a birdcage and I’ve always wanted a floral piece to accentuate an updo. Thanks for the great giveaway!
February 5th, 2010 at 7:29 am
i’d absolutely love to have one – her hairpieces are gorgeous and the floral ones match my dress perfectly.
February 5th, 2010 at 7:38 am
It’s beautiful..and the photographs have a timeless beauty. Oh so many reasons from so many of us on why we would love this. It’s delicate, soulful and amazingly beautiful. I am starting out in photography and am in the steps of trying to create a portfolio. I would love to photograph a special soul in this . How could a girl not feel special wearing this. I think it would enhance any photo.. xxoo
February 5th, 2010 at 7:46 am
I’ve been coveting a piece by twigs and honey ever since I started planning my wedding! I’m on a ridiculous budget, so we are having something intimate but modern and full of light. I’ve decided to go with a very simple dress, but want to couple it with some extraordinary accessories for the wow-factor. I would feel incredibly special wearing these on my wedding day.
February 5th, 2010 at 8:00 am
My fiance and I had plans for a big wedding, but budget restraints have caused up to rethink our plans. We are now having an intimate ceremony with our parents and closest friends. I wanted to have a yellow and white wedding, anthropologie inspired, and love the birdcage veil. This piece is perfect: vintage charm, unique flair, feminine beauty. It would look beautiful with a short dress and yellow heels, with bold lips and bright eyes behind the delicate netting. Thank you for positng!
February 5th, 2010 at 8:01 am
Truly classic and charming! When I got married almost 11 years ago, I wore a light blue, biased cut, satin dress with light beading around the bust area.. almost empire cut. I thought I didn’t need a REAL wedding dress with lace and tulle but looking back I wished I did. I’m planning a redo soon so i hope these with be my ‘something blue’. O… and I will have a REAL bouquet too : ) Thanks for sharing!
February 5th, 2010 at 8:09 am
I would wear it every time I wanted to feel special. You know, like those days that you want to be completely and utterly feminine? Yeah. I’d wear it a lot.
February 5th, 2010 at 8:16 am
“There is no remedy for love but to love more. ” ~ Henry David Thoreau
My sweet little sister is marrying a guy who absolutely adores her in July. They are a truly beautiful couple who love each other madly and care for others deeply. We’ve just found her wedding dress and are now looking for a headpiece just like this dreamy creation.
Thank you for helping to make a lucky bride glow on her special day!
Blessings and beautiful things,
~ bree
February 5th, 2010 at 8:19 am
I am planning on doing a boudoir session for a wedding gift for my soon-to-be-husband, and am struggling to figure out what to wear that will be sweet, sexy, fun, and a little bit bridal. This would be a PERFECT accessory! Thanks for the giveaway!
February 5th, 2010 at 8:27 am
I have to admit, I’m nowhere near my wedding day, currently my only concern is graduating in May. I have no fiance, no wedding dress, and incidently, no wedding plans. But I am head over heels in love with your website. I stumbled across it not even looking for anything pertaining to weddings, and I fell in love. My mother enjoys taking pictures, and has her own ‘professinal’ camera, and takes the longest time to take her pictures. I used to always lose my patietce as I would get cramps from squatting or holding my positon waiting for her to snap away. After coming across your page, I can now appreciate her methods, she just wants the perfect picture. So back to the giveaway, the headpeice and veil are beautiful. When I get married, that’s exactly how I woul want my veil to look. I can’t compare to the woman who is planning the wedding with the different themes, or with anyone plannig a wedding for that matter. But they would contribute to my dream wedding, so to speak. They would definitely be put to good use, eventually.
February 5th, 2010 at 8:33 am
WOW! Myra’s work is simply stunning. I would love to have a Twiggs & Honey hairpiece. We are having a vintage theme wedding in Georgia where I will be wearing the same wedding dress that my mother and grandmother wore. I think that the birdcage would be absolutely perfect for what I am wearing. Thank you for having this great giveaway!
February 5th, 2010 at 8:34 am
Myra’s headpieces are sooo lovely, it would be an honor to wear one on my wedding day! My husband-to-be is Indian and we’re doing a traditional Hindu wedding ceremony, but for the reception I’m wearing a vintage-inspired French lace white dress, which her birdcage veil would go perfect with!
February 5th, 2010 at 8:35 am
Simply because it is more lovely than mistletoe..
and would inspire many more sweet kisses.
Prettiest of please’s from myself and the one I love.
February 5th, 2010 at 8:43 am
This wouldn’t be for me, but my best friend who will be getting married this year (Lord willing). She has been with her boyfriend ( now fiance )for the past 6 years.They’ve been wanting to get married for a while, but her parents are still against the marriage because he is of a different race…She is Korean and he (I’d rather not say because I do not want to offend anyone..) So after many years of being together they have finally decided to go ahead and get married, but because they want to honor her parents and would like to get their blessings, they are still waiting on a date until her parents are completely o.k with it all. Mind you they have been engaged since last May and still don not have date =(
This is my best friend who has stood by me through thick and thin. And she is one of the most generous people I know…During College my family had financial woes and I was working four part time jobs to support them while being at school full time. She lent me quite a huge amount of money, and years later when I asked to pay her back, she wouldn’t receive it saying that I should save it for her when she ever has a rainy day..
So now, with not knowing if her parents will actually ever give their blessings and having to finance the wedding on their own, I would love to be able to give her this gift of a beautiful birdcage veil. It is also the only kind of veil that she said she would be interested in wearing for her wedding. Thanks for listening
February 5th, 2010 at 8:50 am
I would love love love to wear one on our wedding anniversary…
February 5th, 2010 at 8:55 am
Twigs and honey is one of my favorite inspiration spots for gorgeous wedding accesories! This would be great to win!
February 5th, 2010 at 8:55 am
so subtle, so pretty! i’d be splitting this combo…the birdcage for me, the headpiece my sister/maid of honor. i plan on having a white feathery accent for my hair and the twigs & honey headpiece on my sister would compliment mine ever so lovely.
February 5th, 2010 at 9:19 am
beautiful pieces…can I save this for our “expecting” baby…if it is a girl
February 5th, 2010 at 9:22 am
i love headbands! that’s why it should be mine
February 5th, 2010 at 9:28 am
The bridcage would be perfect for reception! Ive been looking but havent found one I love– until now!! Hairpiece is absolutely gorgeous and would be perfect for rehearsal dinner!!
February 5th, 2010 at 9:28 am
I just can’t ask for this beautiful piece for myself…. There are so many beautiful and touching comments already! I’m so moved by this tiny view into women’s live and loves. It seems perfect to find this joy sneaking around here on kiss the groom. Beautifully done, Elizabeth… and everyone who has shared their hearts. I’m starting my day with a lovely smile…
February 5th, 2010 at 9:32 am
Oooh how lovely! Those are my wedding colors
I don’t have a heartwrenching story, but I’d wear them with pride!
February 5th, 2010 at 9:38 am
I found the perfect 1940′s style hollywood glamor slinky satin dress and I have been wanting to find a the perfect veil to complement it. This veil truly would fulfill that.
February 5th, 2010 at 9:45 am
I remembered seeing your Grandfathers Wedding images years ago. I thought they were so moving I cut them out and put them in my scrapbook. Years later, I would learn who you are and put the pieces together. Your Grandfathers Wedding has inspired me to plan a quaint and touching affair for my Mother and Fathers 50th anniversary which will be on Sept, 30th, 2011. Not only would we be more than honored to have my beautiful Mother wear one of Myra’s exceptional masterpieces as she re-news her vows to my sweet Father on their special day, but we would cherish it as an Family Heirloom for always. Thank You
February 5th, 2010 at 9:59 am
It should be mine because I will treasure it so! I’ll wear it out to dinner on any special occasion or at home reading books just to perk up my day!
February 5th, 2010 at 10:03 am
Joyeux Anniversaire!
I would love to wear this veil for our wedding. We are going for a Frank Sinatra meets Michael Buble feel and this beautifully vintage (yet modern) headpiece would be the perfect touch. Thanks!
February 5th, 2010 at 10:17 am
so much awesomeness i can hardly contain myself…..
February 5th, 2010 at 10:18 am
My hubby and I are finally having a REAL wedding in June, after 6 years together and two babies and I think this little piece would be just tooo perfect for my big day.

Simply Lovely! What a great timeless peice. I would love to be able to wear this on my wedding and pass this down to my own daughter when the time comes. LOVE making traditions, especially when it is as awesome as this!
February 5th, 2010 at 10:26 am
And so the girl walks in, up to the boy, a boy who is handsome and her happiness personified, who leaves her heart shaped cut-outs on rainy days and sniffs her hair when he thinks no one is looking, and she peeks up at him through the veil, and in that moment she sees all her hopes and dreams coalescing and their lives intertwined forevermore.
I am that girl, and Wilson is that boy and we will be married in September this year.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:38 am
What a beautiful heidpeice. I probably am the least to desrve it, but I would love to have it.
My Husband and I eloped to the courthouse almost 4 years ago. Because weddings are my life, he felt that I deserved a beautiful wedding. 2 years later we eloped again and had a lovely wedding on Coronado Beach in San Diego. We only had the Officient, Classical Guitarist, Videoagrapher, and a Photographer present. It was perfect and timeless. Our only regret was that we didn’t include our children. So we decided, every 2 years we would renew our vows in many different ways. So this April, we planned on taking a trip to Vegas and have a traditional Elvis and Pink Cadilaac Wedding. This time we will include the children…It will be both fun and elegant.
This veil would look go perfect with the Betsy Johnson Dress I have purchased…I hope that I win!!
Thank you!!

I have been smitten with Twigs & Honey since I first learned what a birdcage veil was! I would love to wear one of their beautiful creations on my wedding day.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:45 am
I’ve always wanted a birdcage veil for my wedding and this one is absolutely perfect! It’s so beautiful, and I love everything from twigs and honey, she makes the most amazing headpieces!
February 5th, 2010 at 10:48 am
Because I worked sooo hard last year, doubled my business, and don’t have much time for shopping for pretty wedding stuff. AND Twigs and Honey is just about the greatest thing since sliced bread. AND Myra used to live in the same city as me, so there!
February 5th, 2010 at 10:50 am
All the pieces are so beautiful and would mean so much to me if I could wear one on my special day this coming summer!
February 5th, 2010 at 10:50 am
I’d definitely wear this alllll over my wedding in July and probably make up excuses to wear it out occasionally afterwards. Twigs and Honey makes the most beautiful veils and hair accessories!
February 5th, 2010 at 11:00 am
Because I want to jump into your photos and be a part of them…and having those would allow me to be that much closer…congrats on your well-deserved success <3
February 5th, 2010 at 11:03 am
Because this would absolutely be the most fabulous thing to wear out on the town in NYC!!!
February 5th, 2010 at 11:07 am
I simply adore Twigs & Honey pieces. My honey simply adores me. Therfore, by the transitive property, my honey will simply swoon over me in this headpiece as I head down the aisle to become his missus (this July!).
February 5th, 2010 at 11:21 am
You are so kind! Really—so nice to have a giveaway! Those are gorgeous. Anyone would be lucky to wear them! xoxo
February 5th, 2010 at 11:27 am
it would be for schuyler……my beloved……my fiance…..my soon to be husband….i saw his face when he looked at me after putting on that exquisite headpiece you let me borrow during our engagement photo shoot & oohhhh how he looks at those pictures….i know it’s not the headpiece but, something emerges in me when i put them on….anything…..anything…..to see his face like that again!!!!!
LOOKING FOR YOUR FACE
From the beginning of my life
I have been looking for your face
but today I have seen it
Today I have seen
the charm, the beauty,
the unfathomable grace
of the face
that I was looking for
Today I have found you
and those who laughed
and scorned me yesterday
are sorry that they were not looking
as I did
I am bewildered by the magnificence
of your beauty
and wish to see you
with a hundred eyes
My heart has burned with passion
and has searched forever
for this wondrous beauty
that I now behold
I am ashamed
to call this love human
and afraid of God
to call it divine
Your fragrant breath
like the morning breeze
has come to the stillness of the garden
You have breathed new life into me
I have become your sunshine
and also your shadow
My soul is screaming in ecstacy
Every fiber of my being
is in love with you
Your efflugence
has lit a fire in my heart
for me
the earth and sky
My arrow of love
has arrived at the target
I am in the house of mercy
and my heart
is a place of prayer

Ahhh! I love Twigs&Honey pieces and I’ve wanted one of my own for such a long time! Blue is one of our wedding colors so this would work great!
February 5th, 2010 at 11:29 am
Because this is exactly what I want to wear on the wonderful amazing day that I’m getting married in the fall.
February 5th, 2010 at 11:32 am
ooooo Twigs and Honey! They are headpiece heaven. So lovely and pretty. I’ve been looking for the perfect birdcage veil and simply can’t find it…until now! Pleeeease pick me to wear one of your lovelies!
February 5th, 2010 at 11:35 am
Swoooon!! I love this headpiece!!
February 5th, 2010 at 11:41 am
Oh, they are lovely. I’m getting married in 2011 and am starting to slowly accumulate things that I love. These are wonderful! What a great idea to give back to the community! Thanks for sharing with someone.
February 5th, 2010 at 11:55 am
Like some others have posted, I am nowhere near having my own wedding. My search for love is an ongoing one, one that will slap me upside my reality as an unexpected surprise, one day, I’m sure. In the meantime, the love for myself and courage to continue on my journey to realize my dreams has taken precedence. And year after year, as my birthday is Valentine’s Day’s neighbor, I remember to stand strong alone, and I celebrate each passing year as one closer to my goals. And I get all dressed up. And these pretty headpieces would be the perfect accessory for my upcoming birthday on Feb. 15. And Happy Birthday to the kissthegroom blog! Turning 1 as I turn 32…. Every girl needs some pretty little things, and I would be ecstatic to add these beautiful headpieces to my celebration.
February 5th, 2010 at 11:55 am
How lovely!! I just got engaged this week and I’m getting married in June – not much time to get things together, especially while trying to work on my masters thesis! These would be so perfect, and mean much less internet hunting for me. lovely giveaway.
February 5th, 2010 at 11:56 am
i have been coveting these veils for a while. i have made a bunch of things for my wedding, but would love to not have to make my own veil. our wedding is vintage glam. my dress is very elegant and sweeps to the side with vintage lace accents. there are so many veils and headpieces that would work perfectly. hope i win!! i can’t tell you how many contests i enter and never win on bridal sites.
xoxo
February 5th, 2010 at 12:07 pm
I would love to wear this for my engagement session! I love all things cocktail hats and headpieces and would love to have a beautiful twigs and honey piece for the perfect engagement session with my fiance.
February 5th, 2010 at 12:10 pm
it’s hard for me to say why i ‘should’ win other than the fact that i love the veil and headpiece and i would graciously take either one in a heartbeat! i am not so much a veil girl so if i won that i would give it as a gift to my friend who is getting married this year. the headpiece however, would go perfectly with my wedding vibe.
February 5th, 2010 at 12:26 pm
This headpiece would be absolutely perfect for my dear friend’s wedding that is coming up oh so soon. She would DIE to have it. the most perfect gift!
February 5th, 2010 at 12:48 pm
myra’s gorgeous, ethereal pieces are truly one-of-a-kind. wearing one of her headpieces instantly adds a bit of grace and charm to your outfit, a touch of playful whimsy, a bit of flirty romance. i love all of myra’s work and these two lovely pieces would easily make their way into my wardrobe, as i’d be sure to show them off with everything from jeans and jeweled flats to swingy summer dresses and heels. the sweetest touch to any outfit!
February 5th, 2010 at 12:53 pm
I adore this headpiece, especially the flower clip! I would definitely wear it for my day-before dinner–a quiet, outdoor dinner at my home that I grew up in. What a beautiful piece!
February 5th, 2010 at 12:56 pm
I’m getting married in May, because I have a problem with an obsession with crafting: I’m making everything in my wedding. Except the chairs, yes…we’re renting those. That would be difficult. I was planning on making a birdcage veil to add to my vintage anthropology theme. It will truly save me time if I won this beautiful birdcage veil. Its simplicity will add favor to our special day. Please oh please, simplify me.
February 5th, 2010 at 12:57 pm
I would LOVE to win these handmade items of twigs & honey! They would be perfect for the small wedding ceremonies we planned … yes, ceremonies. My partner and me we come from different countries and after planning our wedding with all the family and friends gathering together in Spain, we had to go back to the basics – for our grandparents it would not have been possible to attend a wedding in either the one or the other country. So we decided to celebrate in three countries in the end – one ceremony only for us, one with my partner’s family and one with my family. Therefore I would be so happy to have for kind of each one something special!
And after all these parties, when I need a little pick-me-up, I’d use the head piece of Myra and it would put a big smile on my face, remembering these special year, these special days and the people who made it possible. Thank you!
February 5th, 2010 at 1:33 pm
I was trying to write something elegant and witty to explain why I would want to win this giveaway. But then I realized that all you have to do is look at the pictures of the gorgeous pieces. Does anything else really need to be said? Who wouldn’t want this fabulous accessory?
So . . . look at the pictures, read comment, repeat.
February 5th, 2010 at 1:35 pm
I’ve been a distant admirer of twigs & honey hairpieces. Even thought I could fashion my own but failed quite miserably; however, my daughters, who aim at pleasing their mommy, thought they were dreamy and still wear them to this day. I would love to own one of my own… they are quite spectacular!
February 5th, 2010 at 1:38 pm
Both are absolutely beautiful. I’ve been searching on Etsy, elsewhere online and in stores I’ve recently visited. Nothing fits what I’ve been looking for: vintage but classic. I’d love to sport these during our wedding celebration
February 5th, 2010 at 1:47 pm
My sister (and best friend) has fashion sense that I only wish I could emulate. She is madly in love with birdcage veils and has always dreamed of owning one, because she said that she would feel invisible if she wears one. How romantic! I would love to gift her with a fabulous veil and headpiece–as a high school teacher, she would surely earn worship from her students if she wears it to class… and she definitely would! Wish I could see it:).
February 5th, 2010 at 1:52 pm
My friend is getting married and we’ve been emailing each other the beautiful veils from Twigs and Honey for months. These two are simply perfect for her. It would be so amazing to win these for her special day!!
February 5th, 2010 at 1:58 pm
We are so honored that our twins have been asked to be flower girl and ring bearer in my cousin’s wedding. After viewing the photo of the beautiful little girl with the headpiece on the Twigs and Honey website, I envisioned my daughter wearing one in the wedding. Charming designs! Happy One Year Anniversary!
February 5th, 2010 at 2:10 pm
I’m in Love!! Wow! I have been on the hunt for the perfect glam accessory for my July wedding…I arrive at your blog to take a peek around and guess what giveway you have on!!! It seems almost meant to be!! A BIG Congrats on the 1 year!!! xox
February 5th, 2010 at 2:11 pm
I would love to wear those pretties on my special day! My dress is an ivory, lace fit and flare dream and would be even more gorgeous with those lovlies sitting atop my head.
February 5th, 2010 at 2:12 pm
Ever since I’ve discovered this little thing called wedding blogs (the greatest thing since square watermelons), I’ve discovered the infamous Twigs and Honey. SWOON! As much as I really *think* I can DIY a headpiece like theirs, I fear what the end result may look like. Please spare my poor head on my wedding day this April, pick me! =)
February 5th, 2010 at 2:13 pm
It could be my something blue, and I think birdcage veils are so classic. They’d be much loved if I won, and I’d be sure to share pictures after the wedding in October.
February 5th, 2010 at 2:35 pm
I’ve been a long time admirer of Twigs & Honey and even longer bride-to-be (3 years!!!). My fiancee and I had previously decided that it would be more practical to spend the former Myra-savings on helping our grandparents travel to our wedding. Though having my grandparents at our wedding is more than I could wish for, I was bummed to be missing out on a beautiful Twigs & Honey head piece. As I was checking out Myra’s blog about this giveaway, my 3 year-old daughter saw the picture of the piece and said, “Oh Mommy, if you wore that on our (yes, she thinks we are getting married), wedding day, you will look almost as pretty as my dress!” Now, how can anyone argue with that logic?
February 5th, 2010 at 2:39 pm
I never thought of myself as a veil kind of bride, and when I said so to my fiancĂ©, he grinned mischievously and whispered, “Pam, veils are for virgins; that’s why you can’t wear one.” All the same, if I were a veil kind of girl, I’d be rocking the birdcage. Why should virgins get all the fun? ; )
February 5th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
Ooooooohhhhhh!!! I would adore these pieces so!
I am currently 7 months pregnant with surprise twins…a boy and a girl…and I would love to wear these in my maternity photos that my husband will be taking soon. I love the concept of being veiled a bit while the babies are still hidden away inside of me. It would also be a lovely thought to pass them down to my daughter one day too…:)
February 5th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
So, why should I win?
I can’t answer that one. I don’t necessarily think anyone *should* win.
But, I would still like to win.
For all of these reasons:
+ they are very pretty, and I like the pretty
+ because winning is great
+ because being in school means that I don’t have a lot of money to spend on glorious things
+ because I will probably wear them every tea that I have
+ because I saw a lot of work by Twigs & Honey at the Novel Romance Bridal Show this weekend, and her work is gorgeous
+ because I don’t want to wear a long veil
+ because I don’t want a conventional wedding
+ because it would be really really nice right now
+ because my mom will be jealous. Ha!
+ because I’ll be able to give them to my soon-to-be step daughter
Good luck to everyone!

Oh, these would be so lovely. Thank you for these giveaways. Not to sound all pity party, but receiving such a giveaway would be fabulous. I just found out this week that in early March my current position (work) is being terminated. It was really unexpected, so now I’m pulling in the pursestrings on everything.
February 5th, 2010 at 2:56 pm
I would love to wear one of Myra’s beautiful birdcage veils for my wedding in May. I’ve decided that finding the perfect mate is like finding the perfect headpiece: you know it’s right when you find the one that makes you the best YOU possible. I know I’ve found my partner for life. I’ve been looking for the right hair accessory. This one would be lovely.
February 5th, 2010 at 3:01 pm
because I would keep it and give it to my daughter and her daughter’s daughter and her daughter’s daughter’s daughter until it passes through 3 generations and becomes a custom hand me down item in the family.
February 5th, 2010 at 3:06 pm
These are stunning! Getting married in August to the man I love, who happens to study spiders (I love him). I have found the perfect dress, and while trying it on, a helpful saleswoman handed me a veil. It was… hideous. Poofy, long, frumpy… not my style. This birdcage is EXACTLY what I had in mind but haven’t seen anything like it anywhere. The hairpiece is so California summer, which is perfect for our wedding in… California this summer. I would love to win, but, regardless, keep up the beautiful work!
February 5th, 2010 at 3:08 pm
I am 28 years old and just discovered my first grey hair! I would love something beautiful like this to cheer my head up :0)
February 5th, 2010 at 3:21 pm
Love, Love, Love them!!!!! Ok – so I have been stalking Twigs and Honey for quite some time now. I am just in love with the pieces, yes I said piec-es. One would be mine to rock, cause oh how I would rock it …. but I just cannot decide upon one. They are all so beautiful. Winning would make it all the easier – I would not have to choose.
February 5th, 2010 at 3:25 pm
Oh, Twigs and Honey’s hairpieces are beautiful! I would love to have one to wear for my upcoming nuptials in April!
February 5th, 2010 at 3:42 pm
I have been oogling twigs and honey headpieces for months in hopes that I can wear one for my wedding in late August!!! Please help me to make this dream come true!
February 5th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
I am getting married in June and have been looking for the perfect short/birdcage veil. I am planning a vintage country wedding complete with a barn dance. This would be a perfect addition to my lovely Mori Lee dress!
February 5th, 2010 at 4:22 pm
Ever since I started planning my 7/17/10 wedding, I have been drawn to Twigs & Honey’s pieces. They are chic and sophisticated and everything I could want! But, as a recent college grad, the wedding funds are practically non-existent. I would love to be able to wear this on my wedding day!
February 5th, 2010 at 4:26 pm
I’d so love to win. Myra is such a genius and all of her pieces just make my jaw drop!
February 5th, 2010 at 4:45 pm
Everything Myra makes is completely beautiful. You can tell she really puts her heart into her work!
February 5th, 2010 at 6:16 pm
Because I’m hosting the craziest party I’ve ever thought of, and I’d love something that lets me feel pretty in all the chaos!
I’m hosting a giant college reunion/wedding/family reunion in the middle of the largest gaming convention on the West Coast. All of my guy friends – and my fiance – are computer scientists. And we’re both gamers. And a lot of people are flying in from out of town so we’re having a bunch of the group stay at a house we’re renting that will also serve as the ceremony/reception venue.
And did I mention my fiance and I are catering most of it? And hosting side events and trekking people around town? Bring on the fun!
It would really be lovely to have something gorgeous to wear during the festivities and also during the ceremony.
February 5th, 2010 at 6:23 pm
I would rock the hell out of this piece. We deserve each other!
February 5th, 2010 at 6:39 pm
Because I love feeling beautiful and want to feel similarly for my wedding!
February 5th, 2010 at 7:05 pm
Oh, Myra’s works of beauty! I’ve looked at her shop many, many times, and would be so happy to wear one of her creations. We celebrate Friday at work each week by wearing flowers in our hair~this would be perfect!
February 5th, 2010 at 7:19 pm
I am very excited to add unique elements to my wedding in the fall. I have been heavily looking into various styles of headpieces and the ones at Twigs & Honey are so classy. I think these pieces give a sense of history and tradition, while still being modern and fashionable. Many elements of our wedding span this birdge between traditional and modern. My mother is making my dress, which will be modern and fashionable in design but will also hold onto history and tradition with her hard work. I would love for my accessories to do the same.
February 5th, 2010 at 7:19 pm
This would not be for me but, for a bride that is a friend and client of my business partner, She is getting married this spring, in a wedding full of romantic details of birdcages, antique doors and natural elements, all on a budget. This piece would add a little more glamor and uniqueness to a very special wedding on a budget.
Blessings,
Kelley

Almost two years ago my then boyfriend of eight years and I decided to tie the knot when he was accepted to graduate school 1000 miles away. I think it helped that I said that I didn’t care what school he got into because I would go anywhere with him. We had a teeny budget wedding in his aunt’s backyard with a friend who was ordained for the occasion and about thirty guests. We handmade all of the flowers out of crepe paper and bought our dessert buffet from the grocery store bakery. A honeymoon wasn’t really an option since we had to pack and move two weeks later. We’ve never even had a vacation together. But this year for our second anniversary this July we are going to New Orleans and staying in the French Quarter, magnifique! I think it would be great to wear on Bourbon St. with a summer white linen dress. I would be doing things a little backward since I didn’t have a veil for the wedding, but in New Orleans anything goes! I can’t think of a more fitting place for such a beautiful flourish like this. Oooo and dance to street jazz bands. Yay!
February 5th, 2010 at 8:04 pm
wow, what a perfect match for the shoes that i just got from shopruche for my march wedding.
i am all the way in queenstown, nz, and am soaking up all the inspiration online.
i am ordering almost everything from america over the internet and making the rest myself.
they don’t even sell birdcage veil material here, so winning that gorgeous twigs and honey one would make my day! {and give me one less thing to order and make!}
February 5th, 2010 at 8:23 pm
I just got my (vintage-inspired) wedding dress at the Running of the Brides in NY this morning, and everyone agrees a birdcage veil is the only way to go
.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:00 pm
The birdcage veil is superb, I love that it covers the entire face. It’s great and I would love to wear it as I marry my favorite guy in teh world.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:05 pm
This veil would be perfect! It would look fantastic with the dress, shoes, hair, my future husband and I!
February 5th, 2010 at 11:01 pm
I’m a Masters student at the San Francisco Conservatory, where I study voice. I’m a coloratura, which means I sing all the craziest roles-I call them the Fairies, Dolls and Children.
Graduation requirements stipulate we perform a recital, and I’m planning a fabulous evening of collaboration with my fiance, a classical guitarist. I am still choosing a dress, but that beautiful birdcage veil would be the sweetest accessory for any dress I chose.
Thank you for the most lovely opportunity!
February 5th, 2010 at 11:17 pm
Oh Myra’s birdcage veils are divine! I would love to have one of these pieces, not for myself ( I already have a twigs and honey hairpiece, that I adore! ) but for my bestie who is getting married this summer. There is something magical about Myra’s work, and I would love to be able to give her a little bit of that whimsy and romance for her wedding.
February 5th, 2010 at 11:35 pm
Myra’s work is the very definition of beauty, elegance, one-of-a-kind, feminine, and love. Her work is impeccable and you can tell she gives each piece her all. I would love to have a part such dedication and pride become a part of my life. Thank you for the opportunity to win these incredibly beautiful pieces!
February 5th, 2010 at 11:47 pm
oohh! gorgeous, i love myra’s work!
i love every piece!
February 6th, 2010 at 12:53 am
My 95 year old great-grandmother called me today to wish me a happy birthday. She began to ask me about our wedding details, then asked, “So will you have a veil, or a smaller headpiece?” With all of our planning, I have to admit that I hadn’t taken much time to really think about it yet, but I knew right away that I would prefer a birdcage veil or a small headpiece. Now that we’re home from celebrating, I began to search for my dream wedding hair accessory and I found this contest. It seemed like a sign, so I’m entering! Thank you! I love your website, and I love Twigs & Honey’s accessories!
February 6th, 2010 at 4:35 am
Gorgeous products! These items would be the perfect motivation for me and my fiance to actually start planning my wedding
February 6th, 2010 at 4:43 am
Oh what a beautiful giveaway!! Myra is such a sweetie. She custom made a piece for me for my wedding (last March).. she was such a doll to work with. Such a talented woman!! Everything she creates is amazing.
It would be amazing to win this because our ONE year wedding anniversary is coming up (3.21) and before knowing about this giveaway.. I was considering ordering another piece from Myra… to begin a collection of her pieces. Maybe one for every anniversary! How grand would that be?! Totally amazing!
I hope you are having a beautiful weekend! xx Love & Aloha
February 6th, 2010 at 6:13 am
I love Myra’s veils! It seems impossible to find such pretty things here in Europe. I’ll be getting married in October and my short hair is a bit of a worry, because I have (had) absolutly no idea what to do with it. Seeing this beautifull veil is the solution! I would love to wear it on my wedding.
Thank you for the beautiful blog. it’s giving me loads of inspiration!
February 6th, 2010 at 8:32 am
Beautiful! Winning this piece would be amazing!
February 6th, 2010 at 9:13 am
I have been visiting Twigs & Honey’s website for months now. I absolutely love love love the collection. I am having a vintage garden wedding, and this veil would be the missing piece to my wedding get-up. I’m already wearing my mother’s dress from the late sixties, so this veil set would be the perfect addition. I would love to wear it on my big day!
February 6th, 2010 at 10:11 am
Oh how beautiful! I can only imagine how gorgeous this veil would be for our vintage casual wedding! Yay for pretty things!
February 6th, 2010 at 10:23 am
So beautiful, elegant, and classy. I would love to wear this veil!
February 6th, 2010 at 11:42 am
Oh I would be honored to wear this birdcage veil for my wedding! Been on the lookout for the perfect one and this one is stunning!
February 6th, 2010 at 12:16 pm
Oh my goodness…
This would be perfect for my wedding this summer!
February 6th, 2010 at 1:17 pm
I’m getting married this September. This veil and hairpiece would be absolutely lovely to wear for our vintage elegant wedding. What a beautiful give away.
February 6th, 2010 at 3:09 pm
On our wedding day my wife wore one of myra kims pieces and she looked gorgeous. Our one year anniversary is coming up in a month and to celebrate our special day with a new piece from myra would be totally special and awesome!
February 6th, 2010 at 4:08 pm
i want to give my daughter the best for her wedding. That’s why i want to win
February 6th, 2010 at 4:17 pm
My daughter is getting married in May. We recently were at a local bridal shop, my daughter was trying on wedding gowns. After trying on many beautiful gowns, she had found the one that is perfect for her. The girl helping brought out some veils for her to try. She had put on a couple veils, then she put on a birdcage veil. She loved the birdcage veil and absolutely loved it.
February 6th, 2010 at 7:20 pm
I stalk Twigs & Honey etsy and blog site everyday for updates. I’m just amazed at her hand crafted work. There are many etsy sellers that sell hairpieces but I keep coming back to Twigs & Honey. I’m hoping the final piece to complete the my Bride look is from Twigs & Honey.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
February 6th, 2010 at 9:42 pm
Twigs and Honey was something I stumbled across by accident right after I got engaged. I thought I wanted the big, traditional white wedding, but after looking through Myra’s Etsy shop, I realized that what I thought a wedding should look like just wasn’t me. A wedding is a time to celebrate the special and unique things that you and your partner share and the wedding itself should be a reflection of that- from the vows to the veil.
The beautiful and creative accessories Myra makes are all so amazing- as an artist myself I know how much time and effort goes into a piece and the delicate works of art from Twigs and Honey practically glow with that same dedication and attention to detail. Even if I don’t win this, I know I’ll end up buying a piece for myself before the big day (which is sneaking up now!)- I can’t help but feel like anything else in my hair would seem out of place!
February 6th, 2010 at 10:21 pm
I’m not a girl, but I would love to photograph my bride…my lover…my best friend in one of these beautiful creations.
February 6th, 2010 at 10:35 pm
I adore all things Twigs & Honey, but have recently had to cut my wedding budget due to unforeseen school bills and sadly all the pretty things that Myra has created that I have coveted for so long are out of reach for me. I would love to win this beautiful set, it is exactly what I have envisioned for my wedding day!! I would wear them with pride if I were to be lucky enough to win!
February 7th, 2010 at 10:23 am
It’s not what I wear that makes me beautiful. Every bride should feel confident and gorgeous regardless of what they have on. I choose what I wear as an outward expression of my personality, my ideal of beauty: chic, sweet, romantic, and elegant.When I envision myself putting a Twig & Honey piece in my hair, I can hear myself saying, “Fits me exactly. Beautiful!”
February 7th, 2010 at 10:45 am
A birdcage veil is the last piece missing from my upcoming wedding. I have my heart set on this veil to complete my look and the feel of my wedding. The most important thing about our wedding is that it reflects us and our personalities. This veil describes my elegant but fun personality. It is something that I would be honored to share with my sister when she gets married and maybe one day even a future daughter on her wedding day. The headband has a special place in my heart as well. It is the perfect detail for my rehersal dinner, honeymoon and all future parties/events. Winning these would make my day and I would be so graitful!
February 7th, 2010 at 2:15 pm
Does because I think Twigs & Honey creates breathtakingly beautiful pieces and really really want one count as a reason? I’m not getting married, or giving it to someone that is…it would be for me. I am a stay at home mum raising a daughter – and in a world that doesn’t value motherhood or acknowledge its importance – receiving this would be like a pat on the back I know I deserve. While sometimes it’s difficult and guilt laden – I try to make myself a priority – because I know if I’m happy…my family will be happy. And looking pretty is one of the ways I take care of myself. Wearing this birdcage & veil won’t make me look pretty…it’ll make me look BEAUTIFUL!
February 7th, 2010 at 4:08 pm
I was ecstatic to hear about this giveaway– I’ve been swooning over the work at TWIGS and HONEY for ages now! Myra’s creations are classic, clever, and fetching. I would love this beautiful set; I know that it would give a fun and beautiful touch to my wedding day and I’d be looking for occasions to wear them long into the future! I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed..very tightly!
February 7th, 2010 at 6:35 pm
I would love to wear this gorgeous headpiece on my wedding day! I think it is the most perfect piece to add that little extra something to an already beautiful day. It so sweet & romantic, it would be a gorgeous addition to my wedding apparel <3
February 7th, 2010 at 7:09 pm
Pick Me, Pick Me, Pick Me. To desperate?
February 8th, 2010 at 12:06 am
very classic… a beautiful addition to an amazing event!
fingers crossed!
thanks, ali
February 8th, 2010 at 12:55 am
This would be so perfect with my simple ivory lace dress and homey, backyard wedding. Love love love.
February 8th, 2010 at 8:03 am
This is lovely! I would be honored to wear this, please enter me
February 8th, 2010 at 8:50 am
the birdcage veil is exactly what i have been looking for! woohoo!!!
i feel like this lovely piece is made for me!
February 8th, 2010 at 12:22 pm
The birdcage veil would go perfectly with the vintage-inspired homemade wedding dress I am designing for my September wedding! I love Myra’s designs and would love to be a proud owner of one of her pieces!
February 10th, 2010 at 6:24 pm
I love the birdcage veil! I have been looking for vintage inspired veils, and have recently fell in love with the birdcage style. When I came across this giveaway, I knew it was fate. My mind has been made up, and I will definetly be wearing a birdcage veil. They are beautiful, elegant and classic. I love it!
February 11th, 2010 at 10:38 am
i’m getting married on may 1 and initially decided that i was going to make my own birdcage veil, but then i saw this one. it’s perfect. the theme for our wedding is vintage romance, and being that is in the spring, we are incorporating all types of soft, lovely colors like pale yellow, peach, creme, etc. what a perfect way to complete my wedding day style. i love love love it.
February 15th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
all the amazing comments above, are discouraging, but here is my try at pursuing the giveaway! I adore TWIGS & HONEY! and your art is always more than breath taking.
