How to style a bridesmaid dress with a shawl
When it comes to styling a bridesmaid wrap, you have a few options depending on the type of garment that you choose. For a bridesmaid shawl, your wedding party can rest it over their shoulders and the back of their necks, then pull the ends together in the front. Shawls can be secured with safety pins or simply draped over the shoulders for an elegant look that can be easily removed.

Meanwhile, shrugs and capelets typically rest at the shoulders and often extend to the elbows. Another popular type of wrap for bridesmaids is a pashmina—a scarf that's typically crafted from wool and can be styled in multiple ways. The two most common ways to wear a pashmina are to drape it over your shoulders or hold it loosely in your arms. There is no right or wrong way to wear a bridesmaid shawl, so choose the style that you like the best.
