UPDATED, WITH PICS...Shawl or wrap for bridesmaid gift?

I want to get my BMs some sort of shawl or wrap to wear over their shoulders in the Church - and I want something they can use again.
If you were a bridesmaid, would you prefer a sheer type of shawl, such as organza? or something silk/cashmere? or something crocheted?

TIA!

ETA: PLEASE SEE MY 3 PICTURES, BELOW. THANKS!

and here is their dress, but in the wrong color (their dress is a tan color with ivory trim)

Re: Shawl or wrap for bridesmaid gift?

do you think this is too light for an Oct. 29th wedding? I could go with something like this sheer scarf or a thicker pashmina.

What do you all think?

I think this sheer is fine. My girls had something similar and none of them even wore it! I didnt wear mine either.

Hey date twin!

What about a nice capelet? You know, just to cover their shoulders, that I would surely use again.....JMO

Re: UPDATED, WITH PIC...Shawl or wrap for bridesmaid gift?

this one might be my favorite so far, what do you think?

This gorgeous organza wrap would be stunning on any bride or bridesmaid. Made of a sheer organza with a slight sparkle to catch the light. Measures 28' by 88'. Shawl is available in white, ivory, pink or black.

I was thinking a capelet might be better. I'm not sure what to do... have you seen any nice ones?

Personally I would prefer a Pashmina. I would get more use out of it after the wedding.

ETA: but this color is wrong. their dresses are a tan color with ivory trim. the picture is taupe, and much more purpley/grey than theirs.

I personally like sheer wraps, but a pashmina would look great with this as well.

I like sheer better too - I just think they might get a lot more use out of pashmina... I don't know... I could always get a less expensive sheer one and buy them something else for their main gift....

I think I would prefer a Pashmina, but that is because all of the ones I've seen are really soft and a nice material. I think I like that better than organza. While organza looks nice, its not that soft, and so they probably wouldn't use it afterwards. all that much.
