The Best Bridal Cover Ups

As well as the practical benefits of wearing bridal cover ups, there are the style benefits! What better way to accessorize your outfit, or change your look for the evening, than with a sequin cape, personalised denim, or fringed leather! No matter what your style we've got you covered with our inspiring roundup.

Denim Jacket

Hands up who has a denim jacket hanging in their wardrobe? I do, I do! Mine comes out every summer just to take the edge off those chilly nights. So, it's no wonder we're seeing more and more brides wearing them during their outdoor reception, or golden hour portraits. Personalising them with your new married name, or a meaningful quote is one way to make them truly unique to you.

Leather Jacket

Another wardrobe staple and a Rock My Wedding favourite is a leather jacket. Find a leather jacket specialist who can design you a full motif, using lots of colours, different fonts and personalised quotes. We absolutely adore Emily's leather jacket complete with, 'Nothing stops love' caption, floral design, and her wedding date.

Faux-Fur Bridal Cover Up

If you're having a winter wedding a faux fur cover up is a must-have bridal accessory. Not only will it keep you warm, but will look perfect against your frosty or snow-laden backdrop (we'll always hope for snow at winter weddings.) Opt for a short bolero to keep your shoulders warm or a full-length coat to maximise your wedding dress reveal.
