"I don&amp;#x27;t know about you but I&amp;#x27;m always freezing at weddings. I&amp;#x27;ve shivered everywhere from air-conditioned banquet halls to blustery outdoor ceremonies (including my own). The good news is that pashmina shawls are not the only option when it comes to dressy cover-ups. If you&amp;#x27;ve got a wedding coming up&amp;amp;#8212;your own or someone else&amp;#x27;s&amp;amp;#8212;and are seeking some fresh, fun ideas for pashmina substitutes, read on! Chrstine&amp;#x27;s wedding kiss Christine poses in her capelet with her new husband If you&amp;#x27;re the bride (or even a fashion-forward guest!) you might want to consider a statement-making piece, like a feather capelet&amp;amp;#8212;in winter, you could even do fur or equally cozy faux fur. Invitation designer Christine Von Duyn flaunted a dramatic Monique Lhuillier capelet with her wedding dress&amp;amp;#8212;isn&amp;#x27;t it breathtaking? If couture-like feathers and fur aren&amp;#x27;t in your budget, or are just too out there for you, you could also cover up with one of the three trendy jacket styles out there now: bolero (i.e. cropped), menswear-inspired or unstructured. There are a variety of jackets in everything from sheer materials to sequins that are fancy enough to work with a big night dress. Pretty cardigans are another cozy option&amp;amp;#8212;look for ones trimmed in ruffles and rosettes, which will distinguish them from your everyday sweater material. Here are some options: What do you think of these pashmina alternatives? Have you ever worn something other than a traditional shawl with an evening dress? What about with a wedding dress?
