Wearing a bridal cape is a modern alternative to the traditional veil.

Not every girl wants to wear a wedding veil on her big day. If wearing a bridal veil is not for you, consider purchasing a dress with a wedding cape. It will add drama to your bridal look and make a fashion-forward statement. The effect is similar to a veil, and the bridal cape has the same stylish and romantic feel. It will complement your wedding dress, provide extra coverage and visual interest, and for sure, create an ultra-glamorous wedding vibe.

It is not a secret that bridal capes have been trending for a few seasons now. However, 2021 runway shows have shown that they are not going away any time soon. In fact, bridal designers are offering even more styles of bridal capes for the upcoming wedding season. Browsing 2021 bridal collections, you will find many variations, from showstopping floor-length cape silhouettes, minimalistic cropped capelets, ethereal wedding dresses with cape sleeves to serious statement cape dresses. From being just a wedding dress trend, the bridal cape has become an essential bridal accessory.
