A simple explanation of what purple wedding toppers are is that they’re a separate layer you wear over your wedding gown that’s purple. Whether you wear one or not is up to you, and it can be worn just for the ceremony, only during the reception, or the entire time. Types of wedding toppers are boleros, capes, lace overlays and shawls. They’re usually made from chiffon, faux fur, lace, satin, or tulle and can be embellished with beads, crystals, pearls, or sequins.
