Let’s face it. The expectation to have a full wedding ensemble has exploded over the past couple of years. Not only do you need a separate ceremony and reception dress, but what about your exit look? Welcome party attire? Getting ready robe? The key to making the most of your day-of dress is layering. Detachable details like a voluminous silk wrap or removable can transform your ceremony look into a chic reception ensemble—without having to buy a second dress.
Wrap It Up
A beaded shawl or satin bolero will add an extra bit of drama to your dress for the ceremony, then detach it for a dance-floor-ready look.
Take Cover
Saying “removable sleeves” might give you visions of arm warmers at the roller rink, but trust us, these voluminous and bow-detailed pairs are nothing but elegant.
Over and Under
Adding a sheer layering top to your frock not only gives an extra bit of coverage (hello winter wedding!) but is a sure way to elevate any strapless or sweetheart neckline.
