Winter wedding dresses are all about styling. Especially if you’re drawn to something strapless or with thin straps for your bridal look, you’ll want to layer on both for warmth and to give your wedding photos a seasonal edge.
(Psst, this styling hack also works well for wedding guest dresses in winter!)
Here, we’ve rounded up 5 types of winter wedding accessories we love and a few examples to shop.
A Bolero or Lace Shrug for Wedding Dress
A bolero or shrug with lace sleeves can totally transform the look of your wedding dress. Try wearing it for the ceremony and outdoor portraits, then removing it for the reception.

A Bridal Neck Scarf
The dress-with-neck-scarf look rose to the top of the trends list last year, but it’s practical too: A versatile silk neck scarf gives your look cool-girl energy, sure, but it also adds a layer that can be worn a variety of different ways.

A Faux Fur Stole
A white fur stole for weddings—or, better yet, a faux fur stole—is a must-have winter wedding dress accessory. It completes the look (and keeps you warm) while remaining beautifully bridal. Just envision this look with snow falling gently around you during portraits—pure magic.

A Bridal Cape or Wedding Dress Capelet
For a legacy-leaving look, try a white dress with cape. A cape wedding dress can be weighted (like the Grace + Ivory crepe AdeOla dress and cape), or it can be sheer—like a veil for the fashion-forward bride; it can be long or short. Either way, the accessory is the perfect winter wedding dress add-on.

A Wedding Pashmina
We’ve seen baskets of pashminas rolled up for guests at outdoor winter weddings; it’s a chic and practical favor. But why not for the bride, too? Wrap up with an ivory or off-white pashmina scarf over your dress, or opt for one in a something-blue hue for a pop of color.
