BRIDAL CAPES

A MODERN VEIL ALTERNATIVE WITH PERSONALISED EMBROIDERY

A bridal cape is a fashion-led alternative to a traditional wedding veil, designed to drape from the shoulders for a clean, modern silhouette. Choose a floaty, romantic finish, then personalise with embroidery that feels meaningful to you.

EMBROIDERED CAPE STYLING

My bridal capes are detachable and designed in bespoke lengths, making them ideal for brides who want movement, softness, and statement without a veil sitting at the crown. The cape drapes gently over the shoulders and photographs beautifully from every angle.

Embroidery can be kept minimal and refined, or made more expressive with florals, initials, dates, poetry, or celestial details.

YOUR CAPE, YOUR STORY

Bridal capes can be designed in a range of lengths, from shorter, shoulder-skimming styles to more dramatic, train-length silhouettes. Choose your embroidery placement for subtle detail or a statement finish, then personalise with the words, symbols, or artwork that matter most. 

 

The result is always modern, intentional, and styled to suit your dress and overall bridal look. A modern veil alternative, designed to feel unmistakably you.

Every element is intentional. Every stitch holds meaning.

Starting price for an embroidered bridal cape: £395
Each veil is individually designed, hand-drawn and embroidered to order, with pricing reflecting the scale of artwork and level of detail involved.

KIND WORDS FROM REAL BRIDES

"Rebecca designed a bespoke veil cape for my wedding outfit. It was absolutely gorgeous and it was all the little details like finger tip detailing that made this super special! Rebecca was brilliant to work with, so communicative, friendly and professional. Also when the veil was delivered it was presented in the most beautiful box. It was all amazing from start to finish! Thank you Rebecca!"

MEET REBECCA

I’m an embroidery artist who believes details carry stories. The embroidery you choose, the symbols that matter, the words you want to hold close… these are the ideas I translate into intentional design on a bridal cape. My work centres on meaning, sentiment and slow, considered design, creating modern heirlooms stitched with the moments that matter.
