THE BRIDAL COAT

If you're a winter bride and think staying warm while looking chic s might be challenging check out the bridal coat option. Defined, a bridal coat can be a coat dress and/or coat and dress ensemble like the ones in these images.  A coat dress defined is just that: a lighter weight coat (street or floor length); and can be single or double- breasted. Then there's the coat and dress ensemble. Simply put, this is a coat with a dress out of matching fabric underneath it. In the 60s, these were popular mostly for formal occasions. If you like the idea of a fitted coat, you could wear one for your ceremony—long or short—over a corresponding sheath. After the ceremony the coat could be removed so you could move freely throughout the reception.   These by Raishma Couture are sophisticated and elegant with exquisite detailing.
