Cape or cathedral veil

Cape or cathedral veil 1

Cape or cathedral veil 2

I'm not sure what I want. I started with a nice cathedral veil but then I found the cape option and I think if it drapes nicely it would show the embroidery in the back. Thoughts?

    Ooooh, love it!!! i cant even decide. depends on the drama you desire. if you want tons of drama, i say cape because its unique and very dramatic. while a cathedral veil is also dramatic, it wouldnt appear as dramatic on a dress such as the one in the photos above so the focus would remain on the dress and most people wouldnt even notice the veil. i dont think you could go wrong with either but i say cape would be interesting. good luck!

    If you're able to still, I recommend trying on each with the dress to see which you like better. Originally I was going to go with fingertip thinking it would suit my dress better but then I tried on a cathedral and knew it was the one for me with my dress. Good luck!

    Welcome to the WeddingWire community, Malou!
    Firstly, your dress is beautiful! As Stephanie mentioned, do you have the option to try both on with your dress? This may help you make a confident decision between the two!

    Thank you Clíodhna, I've never seen a cape in any of the bridal stores I've been. But I like the drama that Stephanie mentioned

    If you had the budget, you could buy one near your next fitting from somewhere with a great returns policy to try on? Just a thought Smiley smile

    If it helps, I purchased two veils on Amazon and that helped me decide I liked cathedral better with my dress over cape! I unfortunately don't have photos, but it's a good alternative when it comes to helping decide.. especially because Amazon has such a great return policy!
