Bridal capes serve a purpose

An alternative to a traditional veil, a cape can amplify your look, but it can also be a practical addition to your wedding dress. A cape adds warmth to cold shoulders on a chilly wedding day, or provides a touch of modesty for a formal church ceremony.

It can change your whole look

Whether you have a flair for the dramatic or secretly want to be Elsa from Frozen, a cape gives your wedding dress a whole new vibe. Shorter capes (capelets) lend an on-trend vintage feel for any Anomalie bride wanting to go retro. Complement a sleek, simple dress with a sheer, flowy cape to sparkle on your wedding day, or go all out with an ornate cape and an elaborate dress for an over-the-top look. When you design a dress with Anomalie, you hold the power (just like a superhero) to create the perfect wedding day ensemble.

There’s no fuss

You’ve dreamed about having a train fit for royalty, but the idea of wrangling that much fabric around in a bustle is daunting. The cape to the rescue! Because capes typically attach with snaps or hook and eye at the neckline or straps of a dress, it is easily removed post-ceremony for dancing, much like a detachable train.

An opportunity for detail

When you design a dress with Anomalie, you’ll collaborate with a stylist to make sure every part of your wedding day look is flawless from head-to-toe. A wedding cape is the perfect place to include extra-glamorous details and glitzy ornamentation with lace or beading on the shoulders or along the neckline. Sprinkle it throughout the back of the train, too!
