Wedding Capes/Wings

Wedding Capes, Watteau Capes & Wings

I have designed five styles of wedding capes and wings. These are now also being referred to as "Veil Capes" and recently I have found out the "Wing" type of capes are now also known as Watteau capes. These a cross between a cape and a veil. I have tried to show lots of photo examples on this page, and I have created a big sliding gallery at the bottom of the page showing more examples of
these capes & wings, but please contact me to enquire about anything. 
For further information on these 5 types see each section below.

The Pull on over the head style capes

Lace cape

The Pull over the head style cape.



These bridal capes are simple to wear- there are no fastenings and they just pull over the head.

They can be made with any of the laces I have in stock on  the lace veil pages.

They do not have to have lace around the neck, they can have a stitched pencil edge or a cut edge  both of which are unobtrusive, allowing the details of the dress or jewelry to show through.


All the capes can be any length to suit the brides requirements.

The tulles can be sourced in many colours but colours of laces available are white and ivory and I have a stock of some black lace.

The "Leonora" & "Khera" shoulder or bodice attached and draped style capes.
I have just found out that after all these years I have been making them they now have a name!!! A Watteau Cape!

draped back cape

The cape which is attached to the shoulders or bodice.


This cape can be attached either on the shoulder straps or onto the bodice.  It is named the "Leonora" cape after Leonora who was the first bride to commission  this cape.


Another option of this style is that It can have  be gathered onto a satin ribbon and positioned across the shoulders, again fastened onto the shoulder straps.  Named the "Khera" cape. see below for photos of the "Khera" cape.

Similar to a Watteu cape but they are 2 separate pieces.

THE HEATHER WINGS SHOULDER CAPE/SLEEVE 


These wings are a pair of tulle attachments which can be fixed onto the dress where ever the bride would like them,  the shoulder straps or the bodice.  They can be fixed by using simple  safety pins or tiny brooches. 


One design is to fix ontop of the shoulder strap and can be used to cover the tops of the brides arms. Ideal if the bride wants to cover her arms or shoulders.  Some examples are  sewn onto a beaded or lace appliques to give an extra sparkle to the brides dress.


Another design is to fix the wings into the bodice and float down from there.


They can be any length or colour of tulle, and can have Swarovsu crystals or pearls dotted all over.

Below are 3 options I have which can be attached to the "Wings"

The Christine Cape - the Fasten around the neck style.

The fasten around the neck capes


These capes fasten around the neck by a tie or a button and loop.

They can be any length or colour and can have lace around.  Christine chose the satin edge.


The cape I made for the real Christine is a two layer version, so the longer layer can become the train over the dress or any length the bride wants. Its made to easure just contact me.

All of the wedding capes are designed and handmade by me in my studio here in Cheshire UK where I have created a range of bespoke, hand crafted tulle bridal capes.
These types of tulle capes can give brides another option to wearing a veil and can enhance your dress. They can give you a train if your dress doesn't have one, and are easy to remove after the ceremony so you are not carrying a big train around with you for the rest of your day.
The laces and crystal or beaded attachments are sourced to my own design, so these capes are truly unique and made especially for you!
They can be made of normal tulle, dotty tulle or silk tulles and be made any length you want. Tulle colour options are available but laces only are available in white or ivory - contact me for any further information.
I can use most of the laces featured on the site on   the Lace page  - just browse through them and  contact me  for further help you need on them.
I have listed prices at the bottom of the page of the usual sizes of capes.

 Mail me for any further help- they are all made to measure --- so  if you know the lengths you want and its not listed on the grid below, then I can cost it for you.
