As someone who has been (and still goes) to her fair share of weddings—including my own—I’m pretty sure I can confidently say that when it comes to bridal style, I’ve seen it all. Beachy, casual, covered-up, fashion-forward, classic, all-embellished-everything, minimalist, black tie, and in every season and climate you can imagine. I’ve seen multiple outfit changes, zero outfit changes, and even an end-of-the-night sweatpants situation, all which have lead me to understand that no two brides are the same, and no number of options could ever be too much.
Of course, I say all of this to prepare you for the spectrum of bridal outerwear styles you’re about to see below. From denim jackets and casual cardigans to furry and feathered pieces to trendy trenches and classic capes, I can’t say with certainty that I’ve got something for everyone, but I think I’ve gotten as close as one possibly could. Whether you have a fall or winter wedding on the horizon or a Pinterest board to fill, just keep scrolling to see and shop my cool bridal finds.
