Wedding dresses with capes.
Wedding dresses with capes: trends that are here to last
There are all kinds of fabrics, finishes, sizes, and textures, each with a distinctive touch that, apart from rounding out formal attire, serves as a barrier against the cold of the winter season or, if thin, provides light protection from the radiant summer sun.
While it may take away some of the excitement by not hiding the bride's face, it does fill the atmosphere with a fairy tale or fantasy novel feel, in addition to being an accessory that can be worn as a couple and exchanged as wedding vows, enveloping the other in an act of protection and love.
Short layers
Short capes usually cover only the upper middle part of the body, highlighted by the clasps and buttons that hold them in the front. They can also be made of heavier, warmer fabrics, replacing coats in cold weather and allowing the adornments on the lower part of the dress to shine in all their splendor.
Long layers
If your dream was to be in a fairy tale filled with princesses, knights, and dragons, there's nothing better than a long cape to give you that touch of majesty and poise. Unlike short capes, these usually extend from the shoulders or back of the dress and blend in with the train.
On the other hand, if you want to wear a cape but still want to reveal your face, the best option is a hooded cape. This not only protects from the weather but also allows you to continue playing with that illusion effect when you remove it for the ceremony.
Colors, textures and applications
Just like the dress, the cape doesn't have to be a perpetual blank canvas; it can also have appliqués, sparkles, and embroidery that give the dress a complementary personality.
Or you can play with the inner lining to add a color that stands out with certain movements, or give it a hue on the outside and break with the whitish monochrome of traditional outfits.
In short, capes have become a popular garment among brides, not only for the fairytale-like visual appearance they give them, but also for their practicality: they are easy to remove and put on at any time or protect from the weather, without disrupting the original aesthetic. Another option for looking brilliant at your wedding and fulfilling a dream.
