There are a variety of cover up styles that are in vogue right now. They range from tiny sheer shrugs to full long sleeve jackets to everything in between. Sheer lace wedding jackets are the prettiest options for a cover up. It can be used to create a lovely feminine shrug, with either short or long sleeves. This is a beautiful way to complement a bridal gown without hiding too much of it. Lace shrugs can be worn equally well with lace gowns or those created from a plain fabric.
Another very popular fabric for wedding cover ups is sheer silk organza. This crisp fabric layers beautifully over a gown and will not obscure the details of the wedding dress. Different designers created organza jackets in a wide variety of styles. There are tiny puff sleeve shrugs that almost look like a part of the gown; there are waist length swingy jackets; there are even dramatic long organza coats with outstanding details such as ruffled trim or interesting necklines.
Not all of the current wedding jackets for bride are sheer. Another trend seen on the runway was long sleeve fitted jackets with peplum waists in solid silk. This style of jacket was layered over gowns with fitted bodices and full skirts. As long as the jacket is fitted through the waist, it can be a very flattering style with an updated vintage flair to it. Textured fabrics were also a popular trend for bridal jackets, ranging from brocade to embroidered silk to pieces with feathers.
