Help! I need inspiration...

SmileDamnit

So I'm struggling with what type/style of cover up would look best with my dress and could use some help from the ladies who have far better fashion vision than I do.

The wedding is in mid-July on Flathead Lake in NW Montana, where the temps should be in the mid-80s during the day and low-60s at night. The ceremony is outside, on the lake, and the reception dinner is at a restaurant with a semi-covered patio. So, (weather permitting) we'll be outside all day/night. Assuming Mother Nature plays nice, I don't think I'd need anything super warm, rather something fairly lightweight in case it's a bit chilly &/or breezy.

Any suggestions as to what would look good/appropriate with my dress (pics attached)?

...and PS: is cover up supposed to be hyphenated?? I've seen it both ways  

**edited b/c dates are hard**

Perhaps a faux fur stole or capelet?

I would second the fur stole or capelet but would worry that the fur stole would be a little warm.

Something like these:

Thanks, @Jenna8984! First fitting is May 21 and I can't flipping' wait to put it on again. And you must, must, must visit Flathead at the first chance you get. It is, without a doubt, one of thee most beautiful places I've ever been. I'm jealous that FI got to grow up in such a special place, and I'd love nothing more that to someday end up there to raise a family of our own.

I think fur will look silly in June even if its chilly.  Your dress is so pretty.  I dont know, maybe some kind of ivory silk jacket.

Good idea, @ktjanesmom! I can definitely try something like that. Thanks!

I saw your dress (which is gorgeous) and immediately thought of some cover ups found at BHLDN.

I've never heard of BHLDN - thanks for the great idea, @Pepperally!

I adore your dress!  Drink some champagne so you feel warmer, and show that gorgeous dress off as long as you can!

To me, it has a Gatsby-esque vintage vibe.  Could your something borrowed be a fur capelet or shrug from an old lady in your family?  I inherited some fur pieces from my grandmother.  While I don't support buying fur at boutiques, I keep the vintage fur pieces I have because keeping them isn't increasing demand for fur products.  To me, it's a bit different than buying a fur item now and causing the store to order more fur to re-stock.  If you have trouble with feeling good about fur, if it's vintage, maybe that will help allay feeling badly.
