With your autumn wedding on the horizon, the days getting shorter and the weather getting a little cooler, accessorising with a coverup should be on your radar when adding those finishing touches to your big-day ensemble.
A coverup isn’t just a classy way to complete your wedding look and make it your own, it’ll also protect you from seasonal chills which can be unpredictable during autumn and winter.
From stylish and sophisticated to cosy and chic, there’s a coverup for everyone. Here are our top coverup picks for autumn brides and grooms.
A seasonal classic
For grooms, keeping things classic is certainly the call of the day. This Melton Slim Fit Overcoat by Ted Baker is a designer number that’s made for autumn wedding looks.
Available in on-trend and forever timeless tan, its large lapels and three-button fastening will appeal to every minimalist groom who wants a sharp, practical and authentic addition to accompany their traditional or contemporary suit.
A woolly wonder
Turn up the heat on your wedding day with this Wool Look Overcoat from ASOS Design. Grey and double-breasted, this coat will see you through your wedding day and beyond thanks to its relaxed fit and touchably soft, matted-felt texture.
Lovely in leather
Nothing quite says coverup like a personalised leather jacket! This Hand Painted Faux Leather Bridal Jacket provides the perfect balance between biker chic and stylish femininity thanks to its delicate, hand-painted design.
Each jacket is made to order and can be personalised with your chosen design. This could include ‘Bride’, ‘Just Married’, ‘Wife of the Party’, your married name or another bespoke wording of your choice.
Back to the 80s
For retro grooms looking to give a nod to the 1980s, this Custom Groom Jean Jacket from NYC-based Claire’s Attic is a keeper. Its embroidery can be personalised with your married name and wedding date. The handmade item is also available in a bridal version, making it ideal for coordinating big-day looks for same-sex couples as well as brides and grooms.
Cosy in cashmere
Stylish, sophisticated and timelessly on-trend, this Handmade Cashmere Shawl by HatParadise offers a delicate wool mix that’s super light, comfortable and classically designed. The shawl is made from alpaca wool, cashmere wool, merino wool and silk, each of which is well-known for its benefits during the cooler months.
We’ll let Jet&Bo explain more about the perks of wearing cashmere to accessorise on your wedding day:
“Cashmere is up to eight times more insulating than regular sheep’s wool, providing superior insulation. This is due to the harsh climate the cashmere goats live in, with extreme cold weather conditions. Cashmere is a lightweight fabric in comparison to the warmth it offers. Cashmere clothing is never bulky, which makes it easy to travel with – it won’t take up too much space in your suitcase.”
The real showstopper
If it’s style, not warmth, that you’re putting on a pedestal when searching for the perfect bridal coverup, the Rhinestone and Pearl Wedding Cape Veil is the one for you.
Handmade from high-quality materials and embellished with an intricate design of rhinestones and pearls at its neckline, this stunning cape is elegant, beautiful and a real showstopper.
That’s a wrap
We couldn’t do a rundown of our favourite bridal coverups for autumn and winter weddings without including a faux fur piece. The Faux Fur Bridal Wrap is the extra cosy coverup every bride needs. Drape it around your shoulders as the evening draws in to enjoy that warm, fuzzy feeling on your special day.
