Usually, jackets are designed to ward off the chill; it can cover the entire bodice of your wedding gown. Because of this, the jackets are more often than not embroidered of made to look sophisticated to make sure that it can be worn in and out of church.

The great thing about wearing a little cover up over your wedding gown is that it allows you to have a conservative or traditional appearance for your ceremony, and then to lighten things up for the party to follow in a strapless or spaghetti strap dress. Having a removable jacket is also a way to indulge in the trend of changing your outfit between the service and the reception without the expense of actually purchasing a second dress. All you would need to do is take off the jacket, let your hair down, and trade in traditional accessories for a chic set of crystal bridal jewelry, and voila! Instant transformation.
