Wedding Dress With Jacket

A wedding dress with jacket is a beautiful way to add a little extra flair to your wedding day look. You can choose from several different styles of jackets, including bolero jackets, bolero wraps and shrugs.

Bolero Jackets

Bolero jackets are very popular for bridesmaids’ dresses. They offer a more sophisticated look than a regular jacket because they are long and fitted at the waist. This style looks great when paired with a strapless dress that has an open back or sweetheart neckline.

Bolero Wraps

Bolero wraps are similar to bolero jackets but they have no sleeves and are much shorter in length so they do not cover your shoulders completely like a jacket would. This makes them ideal for brides who want to wear strapless gowns without having to worry about their shoulders being exposed by their sleeveless dress.

Wedding Dress With Jacket

Bridal fashion trends come and go, and some are exceptionally fleeting depending on the season. As the times change, brides are constantly seeking ways to incorporate new and of-the-moment looks into their wedding day fashions, and as such, brands are regularly reinventing the wheel of what is stylish and contemporary. However, there are several recurring bridal fashion trends we think are here to stay, one being outerwear. Adding a dash of drama and an unexpected twist, outerwear makes for an unforgettable (and equally irresistible) bridal ensemble.

From capes to leather jackets to fur coats, brides have been incorporating these outer garments into their wedding day looks for years. Some opt for custom moto jackets, while others subtly incorporate lace capes for a two-in-one bridal look. Whatever your style might be, outerwear can easily elevate and transform any wedding dress.

If you’re a bride looking to wear different looks throughout your day, go for detachable capes and coats that can easily be removed once you say “I do”. And if you’re looking to incorporate something edgy, throw on a leather or denim jacket for the reception or afterparty—one that you and your partner can match in, too! Of course, if you plan to get married in cooler temperatures, a fur shawl or feathered overcoat is a practical choice for fall and winter nuptials.

Ahead, we’ve curated an edit of the best bridal outerwear pieces for every style, budget, and season.
