Cover-ups for bridesmaids - what to choose?

Emily, on August 24, 2018 at 17:35 Posted in Wedding fashion 0 2

I would love some advice! I'm about 1 month and 5 days out from my wedding. We will be getting married on Vancouver Island in late September. We've been planning the wedding for so long now, and I must have been soaking in the summer sun, because my colours are much more in line with summer than a fall wedding. The men will be in cream linen pants and vests, and the women will be in pale shades of chiffon - pale brown, pale blue, pale pink - very dusty, neutral colours. I was thinking all white and green bouquet and floral arrangements. I live in central/ Northern BC, and now that the weather is starting to turn cool and damp I'm wondering if I should toss in a dark plum colour to the floral arrangements, and try to find some sort of shrug to provide for my bridesmaids and myself in case it is cool. I want people to be comfortable. I could go with like a neutral, cream or plum coloured pashmina or bolero, but I'm really adrift on this decision! Since each dress is a different style/ colour, I'm not sure what would look good all together. Am I stressing out over nothing? Or should I just make a decision and run with it?

    I would do an ivory or cream pashmina. something that will look pretty. but can even be reused. and if you are only doing photos or a short ceremony outside. people can bear the cold for that short of a time too.

    I'm getting married in January... so I'm aaaall over this cover-up idea. I'm wearing my Grandma's fur stole (it's a light gray) over my ivory dress. The girls are wearing navy, and I'm going to get them all white/ivory faux-fur stoles.

    I think it's totally fine to get a neutral, or even ivory, wraps/shawls for the bridesmaids. Then it will match all their dresses. If you don't want something close to white, then maybe a super light silver?
