15 beautiful bridal jackets to shop for winter weddings
Seriously stunning outerwear, from budget to boujie ✨
Planning a winter wedding? Lucky you! Summer weddings might have the warmer temps (erm, in theory), but cold weather vows provide an opportunity for some seriously decadent accessorising – and we're totally here for it.
We all know just how unpredictable the UK weather can be, and once the sun goes down, it can get chilly fast. A cleverly chosen extra layer not only provides some very welcomed warmth but also adds that little something extra – along with your wedding jewellery and shoes – to your bridal 'fit of choice.
With everything from glamorous faux fur shrugs and feather-trimmed jackets to romantic bridal capes, cosy shawls, and classic blazers available, you won't have to worry about a lack of options either. Maybe you want something subtle and cropped to top off your wedding dress? Or how about a spotlight-stealing statement piece, guaranteed to jazz up your bridal jumpsuit? This day is all about you, after all.
Where can I find bridal jackets?
Whether you’re planning on wearing a bridal jacket down the aisle, want your wedding portraits to sparkle with wintery charm, or just want something to keep you warm as you move between venues or locations, you’ve got some exciting options to choose from.
On the high street, Aligne, Nobody's Child, and Monsoon offer gorgeous picks under £200, while there's a treasure trove of unique styles from dedicated bridal boutiques and independent, small businesses on Etsy. You might also be looking for a bridal-inspired jacket to wear at your cocktail hour, hen do, or wedding meal, so we’ve got you covered there, too.
