What is a cathedral train?
A cathedral wedding gown train typically extends six to seven-and-half feet from the waistline and is the longest and most dramatic of all wedding trains. A semi-cathedral train measures somewhere halfway between a chapel (a shorter style) and cathedral train, which makes it a great compromise for the bride who may not want to commit to a full cathedral gown.
Is a cathedral train right for you?
Cathedral trains are known to be formal and great for a black-tie wedding, but the truth is, no matter the formality of your wedding, if you want to rock a cathedral train, then go for it! These statement trains are available in every bridal style and in a variety of wedding gown silhouettes. So, if you are a bride looking to make jaws drop, you’ve come to the right place!
