Lace Toppers, Bridal Capes, Jackets and Cover-ups for the Bride

Bridal cover ups

This chilly time of year, it's easy to understand why some brides might be searching for a topper or cover-up for their wedding dresses. But it's not just a great way to keep warm, it's also a style statement and an excellent way to give your wedding gown a second look. Capes and jackets were all over the runways for 2015 bridal trends. Not only will you be on-trend,  church appropriate, pretty and warm with these looks --many can make a strapless, or sleeveless wedding gown look like an entirely different dress! No need for a dramatic outfit change, just put on one of these, and take it off for the reception,  or wrap up in a faux fur and be the picture-perfect winter bride.  It's also a great option for the indecisive among us: if you can 't decide between 3/4 lace and strapless - now you don't have to! Here are some of my favorites to cover-up with! Stay warm, stay stylish! We may earn a commission for referrals on these picks from our affiliated retail partners and sponsors.
