Leather Wedding Jackets
We adore this edgy leather bridal jacket style! Paring a leather jacket with your wedding dress makes for an unforgettably bold contrast between sweet and edgy. Hand-painted florals, custom calligraphy, metal studs – there is unlimited potential for this completely customizable trend. We’re experiencing serious style envy over all the irresistably cool real brides we’ve seen rocking the leather and lace look this season!
We love the contrast of our Essense real bride rocking her leather bridal jacket with her wispy tulle gown. Her bouquet perfectly ties together her soft – but edgy – wedding day look. If you’re super crafty and feeling inspired, you could even make this jacket yourself!

Another leather jacket styled to perfection! This Martina Liana bride takes the leather and lace aesthetic to the next level. We love the additional contrast of her whispy veil and soft florals, coming together to create a bridal style just as unique as the bride herself.
Denim Wedding Jackets
Denim jackets are back in style and in a new, incredibly fun way! The best part about denim bridal jackets is that they are easy to DIY with iron-on letters, floral appliques, patches and unique fringe. From boho to classic, this trend has unlimited potential!
Wifey for Lifey: this jacket writes your Instagram caption for you! Real Essense of Australia bride Lauren shows us how it’s done, pairing Style D2208 with this adorable denim bridal jacket for this incredibly sweet photo. The all white detailing plays well with the floral lace appliques on her dress, completing her wedding day style. We could totally see this jacket paired with a casual outfit during the honeymoon or simply running errands on a Saturday afternoon! Who doesn’t love the opportunity to incorporate elements from their wedding into their daily life?
