We are currently loving bridal capes for winter weddings! Winter is a wonderful time of the year to get married. Holidays, family coming together, and cozy weather, there is so much to look forward too.

During the winter months, brides have endless options for wedding dresses: higher necklines, long sleeves, and heavier fabrics like silk mikado or brocade are perfect for keeping the bride fashion-forward and warm. Brides also have many options for accessories! Accessories are a way to layer and add a sense of personal style to your look. Our top picks for wedding accessories like a bridal cape for winter weddings.

Bridal Capes: Winter Wedding Accessory

We love bridal capes for winter wedding accessories! Bridal capes not only offer warmth during the colder months, but they also are an alternative to a bridal veil. Pair a cape with any wedding dress or bridal jumpsuit and it will always elevate your look.

Bridal capes are available in endless textures and fabrics. Being located in Florida, our brides typically request a lighter fabric like lace or tulle rather than a heavier fabric like a silk crepe or mikado cape. This means that bridal capes are typically made with the same tulle and laces that veils are made with.

TORI | CAPEN HOUSE, WINTER PARK, FLORIDA

The Bridal Finery real bride, Tori wore a tulle bridal cape to her wedding at The Capen House. She paired her mermaid style lace wedding gown by Theia with a tulle bridal cape.
