A shawl cut for shoulder coverage: white hand-crocheted lace that covers the shoulders and stays put through the ceremony. Our white bridal cover-up is designed specifically for strapless and sleeveless gowns.
Champagne gold, cream, or silver. Stark white fights an ivory gown; warm metallics and creams sit against it instead of competing with it. See the wedding shawl guide for the full matching chart.
Either works. Tonal (white on white, cream on ivory) is classic; metallics like gold and silver add evening light; a contrasting jewel tone suits wedding guests who want to stand out without outshining the bride.
Color, not white: turquoise, emerald, plum, or black lace for formal dress codes. Avoid white, cream, or ivory so you never compete with the bride.
A warmer weave: silver or red hand-crocheted lace with real warmth, light enough to wear all day. Avoid gauzy summer-weight shawls.
The words overlap and shoppers use them interchangeably. A shawl is generally the largest: a generous rectangle worn over the shoulders. We call every piece a shawl.
Yes. Every shawl is hand-crocheted to order in New York from lurex thread and finished with hand-sewn beads. The studio has operated since 2012.
Each piece is crocheted for you when you order it, so timing varies. Write to us with your date and we will confirm the current turnaround before you order.

Dry clean only. Store flat, never hung, so the beaded edge keeps its shape.
