Frequently asked questions
What is the best shawl to wear over a wedding dress?
An alpaca bridal shawl is widely considered the best choice — it is lightweight, hypoallergenic, and naturally soft, warmer than wool yet kinder to skin than synthetic fur or acrylic wraps.
How do I match the shade to my wedding dress?
White shades photograph very differently on phones than they look in person. For off-white, ivory, or candlelight gowns choose Ivory; for champagne or warm-underlay dresses choose Pearl; for crisp modern silk mikado choose Pure White; for lace or textured gowns choose Cream Melange. If you're not sure, order fabric samples first — this is the single biggest reason brides return a shawl, and a sample solves it.
Are alpaca wedding shawls warm enough for a winter wedding?
Yes. Baby alpaca fibre has natural thermal hollows that trap heat, keeping brides warm during cold ceremonies and outdoor photos without adding visible bulk under the dress.
Will an alpaca shawl itch on bare shoulders?
No. We use baby alpaca — the softest grade of the fibre — so our shawls feel smooth against bare skin, ideal for strapless and off-the-shoulder gowns.
Can I order a sample before buying?
Yes. Our Wedding Shawl Fabric Samples let you see and feel every colour in person before committing to a full shawl. Free shipping on orders of 3 or more samples.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes — we ship from Lisbon, Portugal worldwide using a fully trackable postal service. Usual delivery times: 5–7 working days to UK & Europe, 7–10 working days to US & Canada, 10–15 working days to Australia and New Zealand. DHL Express 2-day delivery upgrade available at checkout.
Are these shawls ethically made?
Yes. Every shawl is handcrafted by artisans in Ecuador using responsibly sourced baby alpaca fibre, supporting fair wages and traditional Andean weaving. Alpacas are humanely sheared and have a small carbon footprint.
Can the shawl be worn after the wedding?
Absolutely. Most brides continue wearing their alpaca wedding shawl for years as a luxury scarf, travel wrap, or evening cover-up — making it a keepsake rather than a single-use accessory.
Still not sure? Order fabric samples to compare every colour in your own lighting before you buy.
Why brides choose an alpaca bridal shawl
A Cosy Llama wedding shawl is warmer than cashmere yet lightweight under your dress, softer than wool with no itch against bare shoulders, and naturally hypoallergenic — handwoven by our small family workshop in the Andean highlands of Ecuador.
Warm yet lightweight
Baby alpaca fibre is up to three times warmer than sheep's wool — ideal for winter weddings, cool evenings, and outdoor ceremonies, without adding bulk under your dress.
Softer than cashmere
An ultra-fine micron count means no itch — safe against bare shoulders and strapless gowns.
Naturally hypoallergenic
Alpaca fibre is lanolin-free, making these shawls suitable for brides and guests with wool sensitivities.
