Love the idea of something beautiful trailing behind you as you walk down the aisle, but want something more unique than the traditional veil or train? Consider a cape, one of the most popular trends from recent bridal runway seasons.
Perfect for ensuring a dramatic entrance, plenty of our favorite designers featured gowns with these dramatic cover-ups in their latest wedding dress collections. And the adornment isn’t just for fashion-forward brides looking to make a style statement on their big day — capes are a great alternative for ladies who need a modest layer for a religious ceremony, but want the flexibility of removing that layer for the reception.
