16 Stylish Bridal Cover-Up Ideas for Trendy Brides

Chic cover-ups are my latest bridal obsession. Can you blame me?

First of all they are fabulous because they allow every bride to channel two different looks in her wedding: a timeless day look for the ceremony and a sassier diva look for the reception. Secondly, you will not need a sexier reception dress if you decide to wear a cover-up because once you un-cover you can reveal bare shoulders or a sassy cleavage. The options are endless and breathtaking and yay, pashminas and little white cardigans are finally not the only choices anymore!

If your dress is form-fitting and rather simple, accessorize it with a ruched or ruffled wrap, or with a more glamorous sequin mini-cape. Another great idea is an ultra-sheer tulle dress overlay that actually goes with any strapless gown creating a demure and sophisticated look.

The good old bolero has morphed into an utterly classy cape, worn either long or short, and tied up in a ladylike bow or clasped with a dazzling brooch.

For a matchy-matchy ensemble, opt for a modern coat that complements the gown with the same appliques or embroidery. This will provide the perfect option for brides who are not keen on flaunting their upper arms.

Lace is not a surprise to the world of wedding dresses and accessories yet somehow it feels new every time with its hints of subtle gorgeousness. Choose a cover-up with an intricate woven pattern, vintage embroidery or lace trim for an OMG-stunning outfit.

Besides being the ultimate adornments, wedding cover-ups are practical on windy days. So, in case you are not planning to say “I do” on a tropical island, you will be ready to brave unexpected chills if you “take cover”.

Add a luxurious touch to your bridal attire, darlings! A well-chosen cover-up will give you the right amount of flair, making you the chicest bride of the season.
