Many brides wonder what to wear over their shoulders with a wedding dress. For many years, a bolero was the most common choice. Today, however, many brides look for alternatives that feel lighter and more natural. A bridal shawl or wedding wrap can gently cover the shoulders without changing the character of the dress, while still providing comfort during a ceremony in a cooler church, an outdoor wedding or an evening reception.

Many brides start thinking about accessories only after the dress has already been chosen. Yet during a wedding ceremony – especially in a cooler church, during a windy outdoor ceremony or an evening reception – it can be very helpful to have a light layer to cover your shoulders. A bridal shawl or wedding wrap is a simple, elegant and practical solution. It complements the dress without hiding it and adds comfort when the temperature drops. At NitkoweLove, shawls and wraps are handmade from natural fibres such as merino wool, cashmere, alpaca or mohair blended with silk. These pieces are designed not only for the wedding day but also to be worn later for many seasons.

Choosing the right hat is about much more than style. The yarn determines warmth, breathability, comfort and how your skin reacts. As a handmade knitwear maker working exclusively with natural fibres for years, I talk to customers every day about their needs and sensitivities. That’s why I created this guide – to help you choose a hat that truly suits you.

I’m so excited that my hats and other winter accessories can now reach not only visitors of NitkoweLove.pl, but also customers from all around the world. I’m thrilled to announce: Nitkowe Love is now on Etsy! :) The account has actually existed for some time, but you know how it is — sometimes I get overwhelmed by ideas and all the responsibilities of running three shops (mainly, I’m a bra-fitter at KAROline) :D
