What to wear over wedding dress?

It depends what style/fabric your dress it. You could have a wrap/stole the same fabric as your dress, would cost about 15-20 for your bridal shop to make it. If your dress isn't too big at the bottom then a nice very long fitted jacket with a puddle (again it depends on your dress). A bolero made in the same fabric as your dress/or contrasting colour. Some very nice ones with high necklines. Again, your bridal shop should make it too too high a price.

Do you have bridesmaids? You could always have something in their fabric made. It will cost less than you think for a bridal sho to make something, and it won't take them too long.

Becles - I have a cream fake fur wrap slightly shorter than the ones in the pix, brand new, that you can have if you want, for the price of the postage. PM/email me if you want it. I'm only going to sell it on eBay otherwise.

Thank you - that's really kind of you :T

Any little bolero or stole would look lovely.

A friend got married last year and wore a long velvet cape which looked AMAZING! Obviously not very Moneysaving but she was very warm and it looked fab in the photos outside, very Scottish Widows (not that you want to be a widow!)

Hers was bottle green but any colour would be wonderful.

friends of ours got married and had deep red / ivory colour scheme

she wore a long red velvet cape (a la lil red riding hood lol) and it looked stunning

Sadly no pics in this website but they seem to be tartan capes

How about a tartan shawl to match the kilts? If you let me know the name of the tartan to be worn I can check a few shops for you.

What about a pashmina. You could get say cream to tone with your dress or what ever colour is the theme of the weddding. You could wear it in the car and then hand it over to someone for the service.

You would also get lots of use out of it afterwards. I have got several in different colours and wear them almost every day, winter or summer. Not all at the same time obviously!!

In my line of work I encountered this site today https://www.fairygodmother.biz the stuff on there is stunning! They do a floor length velvet cloak and you can get it in ivory or more gothy colours;)

My friend bought a lovely cord jacket that matched the bridesmaids dresses and put a huge flower on it. She looked stunning in it and she was happy to have an excuse to buy a really expensive jacket that she could wear again after the wedding.
