Did anyone wear a capelet? Show me your photos!

Jay, on April 27, 2021 at 8:33 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 4

I'm considering wearing a capelet--not a cape, not a jacket or bolero or topper--for my wedding. Did anyone or is anyone planning on wearing one for their own wedding day? It's so hard to find photos of real brides wearing them, & I'd love to see what people did! Did it match your dress or not? Did you wear a veil with it? What level of formality was your wedding?


My personal situation: I don't want to post my dress (just in case!), but it's more simple, with a low front & low back. I'm getting married in a church & while I feel perfectly comfortable, some sort of cover probably wouldn't be a bad idea. I was initially leaning veil but a) that won't cover the front at all & b) I'm not sure how I feel about veils, generally. But I worry a capelet will look too casual or I'll regret not having a veil (our wedding will be on the formal side, although not black-tie). I will only be wearing it for the ceremony, as well.


Here is one I'm considering: https://www.etsy.com/listing/743547261/wedding-cover-up-tess-wedding-cape-ivory?ref=shop_home_recs_2&frs=1

    I absolutely love capes and cape let’s and would love to see how this would look with your dress. I’m seriously considering a cape myself.

    I'm planning on trying it! I'll let you know. Ordering swatches from an etsy seller today. I had a few photos of me in veils from trying on dresses & I realized felt very eh about all of them, & one of my wedding party said it would be very me to choose NOT a veil, haha.

    I feel you 💯 I do not like veils at all for me personally, but I could totally rock a cape!

    I was thinking of a capelet as well, but still need to try one on. The store has ones that was meant to go with my dress. I’m getting married in Hawaii and not sure it’ll go with the venue. Thinking of wearing a flower crown. What do y’all think? This is what it is supposed to look like with the cape.
