We’ve all heard of and saw fake fur stoles as a cover up option to keep winter brides warm, but this season capes and boleros are the cover up for the cool! Stunning crafted in feminine fabrics such as lace, feather or silk chiffons and gently adorned with pearls, crystals or sequins, capes and boleros are a contemporary option for stylish brides.
