How to dress warmly for a wedding without sacrificing style
The weather is an unpredictable factor at any wedding, and if temperatures drop, it’s important to be prepared with a piece that not only keeps you warm but also maintains elegance and complements your guest look. For those days when the weather doesn’t cooperate, guest capes in chiffon, dotted tulle, crepe, brocaded wool, and wedding stoles crafted in faux fur are elegant options that add glamour without hiding the dress.
Here’s how to choose the best option to keep warm at a wedding—in style.
Capes for weddings: an elegant, versatile accessory
Capes are a perfect alternative for weddings when it turns chilly, as they offer warmth without taking the spotlight away from the dress. Their fluid drape and sophisticated design make them the ideal accessory for both brides and guests, adding movement and a refined touch to the look.
Types of capes by material
- Chiffon and dotted tulle. Ideal for mid-season weddings, they add a light, romantic feel. Perfect for brides and guests seeking an ethereal, delicate touch.
- Crepe. A more structured fabric that drapes elegantly. It brings a sophisticated touch and pairs well with minimalist dresses.
- Brocaded wool. Perfect for autumn and winter weddings—warmer and more decorative, adding a vintage and very elegant flair.
How to style a cape
- For classic dresses, choose a fluid, draped cape in chiffon or dotted tulle.
- If you’re wearing a clean-lined dress, a structured crepe cape can add contrast and personality.
- For winter weddings, a brocaded wool cape with embroidered details is a warm, sophisticated choice.
Faux-fur stoles: sophistication for cold-weather weddings
Faux-fur stoles are a luxurious, glamorous option for chilly weddings. They add a classic, refined air without stealing the show from the dress, becoming a timeless accessory that never goes out of style.
Colours and styles for every occasion
For brides, a stole in white, ivory, or champagne will complement the dress without overpowering it.
For guests, neutral shades such as grey, beige, or black pair with any look and are easy to reuse for other events.
How to wear a faux-fur stole
- Let it fall over your shoulders for a classic, elegant look.
- Secure it with a brooch for extra comfort and a sophisticated finish.
- Pair it with long gloves for an evening wedding and a vintage-inspired style.
