How do I choose the right wedding cape length for my dress?

Consider your venue and dress style when selecting length. Our comprehensive wedding veil guide provides detailed guidance on choosing the perfect length. For personalised advice, please get in touch with our team.

How should I store my tulle wedding cape after my wedding?

Proper storage is essential for preserving your cape's beautiful condition. Our veil bag and hanging clip provides the perfect storage solution. This keeps your cape safe from dust and helps maintain its shape for future occasions.

What makes a wedding cape different from a traditional veil?

A wedding cape creates a completely different silhouette, draping from the shoulders rather than the head. This makes it perfect for brides who want drama without covering their hair or face. It's truly not a veil at all but offers an equally stunning alternative.

Can I add personalisation to my wedding cape?

Yes, you can personalise your cape with your wedding date and initials through our embroidery service. For the full range of personalisation options, explore our veil embroidery add ons to create something uniquely yours.
