If there’s one thing most brides have in common (apart from the obvious), it’s the notorious terror known as… The Weather. No matter the season, unpredictable elements are always part of the wedding package. You can plan for July or January, but either way, it’s all about preparing for the worst and hoping for the best.

Staying ahead of the elements is key — especially for things you can’t control. We’ve already covered bridal brollies, so it’s no surprise that one of the most common requests we get is how to beat the chill. Bridal cardigans, cover-ups, mini jackets, and sweaters are all perfect options for keeping cosy while complementing your wedding dress — though finding the right one can be tricky.

From bridal brands to high-street shops and online boutiques, we’ve hunted down pretty, chic, and stylish bridal cardigans and wedding sweaters you can shop right now.
