Wedding Bolero

Although the classic image is of a June bride winter is also a wonderful time for weddings. But how does the bride keep warm and look wonderful at the same time? There are plenty options for the woman who wants to wed in winter. 00004000 And a great many beautiful fabrics to consider as well as stylish ways to keep the chills away. From faux fur collars, to capes and cloaks, and even hats and elegant gloves, there is something for every winter bride. In terms of inspiration bridal shops and salons in NYC are the perfect places for the winter bride to be to get ideas. Winter brides can work their wedding motif around a particular theme, even a Christmas one if they are marrying in the holiday season! So, whether you want to go for holly berry reds and icy snowy whites for your winter wedding outfit, you'll find plenty of choice for making your wedding in the cooler months a really hot affair. June is the month we associate with weddings, but many couples choose to get married at other times of the year. Of course the weather will dictate the style of the dress the bride chooses if she is to be married in the winter. Winter weddings can be incredibly romantic, and velvet dresses or those made from heavier silks and taffetas are ideal for the winter bride. And then of course there's the option of using beautiful faux fur, either in the form of wraps, or boleros. If you're visiting a bridal shop or salon in NYC let your consultant know your wishes for a wintry wedding. Perhaps your theme will be ice, or maybe you'll be opting for rich Yuletide reds and emerald greens. Whatever your choice the staff at the bridal salon in NYC will be able to create or tailor the perfect gown for your special day. It goes without saying that if you are marrying in winter; you'll want to be warm, but glamorous too. So it's really a case of striking a balance, capes or boleros are wonderful for winter brides, as they can be removed when she is inside in the warm. Also, many winter brides still like to have bare shoulders for their wedding photographs. So do think in terms of having two pieces to your wedding dress if you're looking at marrying in the colder season. Remember too that faux fur hats and hand muffs are ideal for the winter bride, although wearing a hat may put paid to maintaining a hairstyle. Long trains or extended veils could be tricky if the weather is wet or it's snowing as they can so easily get damaged or dirty, so a neater hemline is advised. However chill the air, there will be plenty of warmth generated on your very special winter wedding day.

  9. QUESTION:
    I have to have my shoulders covered for my wedding next year. I am desperately searching for a lace bolero.?
    I want it to be 3/4 sleeve so I am having trouble finding one in the stores. Does anyone know where I can buy one in Akron, Ohio? I also have someone who is willing to sew one for me. Where online can I find a good pattern?? HELP!

    • ANSWER:
      Pattern:
      http://www.voguepatterns.com/item/F1530.htm?search=bolero&page=1
      This pattern would have to be adjusted to make the sleeves 3/4 length, but this shouldn't be too much of a problem for the person willing to sew it for you. You could then decide if you want straight edged sleeves or the sleeves in the pattern.
      http://www.simplicitynewlook.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7_8_32&products_id=8900
      Again the sleeves would have to be adjusted (this may be more complicated as length would need to be added not taken away)
      http://www.simplicitynewlook.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7_8_32&products_id=7889
      The sleeves in that one may be 3/4 but it's hard to tell from the top photo.
      To buy:

    White lace bolero jacket for my wedding dress ?!?!?
    I cant really find one that I like other than a satin one. My dress is solid lace I just want something to wear at the reception.
    The weddings in Feb.
    Has any one ever made one ??
    Is it hard.
    I'm needing help here so please any input would be great

    • ANSWER:
      If you know how to crochet or if you have someone that knows how to, you could have one made for you from hairpin or broom stick lace. I can give you the site to teach you how to do either one. I have used both of these types of crochet and they are beautiful and I can give you the site to see them. Since your gown is lace I would suggest you use a very fine thread or go to a craft store and look at both the yarn and the thread selection. Also I checked and if you want to buy here are some sites you may want to check out or e-mail me for some sites for patterns for the lace boleros. If there is any way I can help you let me know and I may also be able to help you with the design if need be.

  16. QUESTION:
    Is a lace bolero appropriate for a wedding?
    I see a lot of them on bridal websites, so I'm not sure if it would be perceived as 'upstaging the bride' or somesuch. I'm thinking something like this:
    http://www.etsy.com/listing/62658313/radar-black-bolero-renaissance-romantic?ref=sr_gallery_7&ga_search_submit=&ga_search_query=black+lace+bolero&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=

    In one of the weddings, I'm a bridesmaid; in another, I'm a guest.
    A black dress is a requirement, at least in the case of the bridesmaid wedding.

    • ANSWER:
      both are gorgeous!

      i don't think it would be - lots of women love the strapless look but have this thing about showing their arms off and boleros and the like are a great way to get the look without baring all!if you're a maid in one of them,i would show the bride and ask her opinion (from a B2B's POV,i wouldn't mind a maid wearing something like this but i would like to OK it,if you get my drift).as for the wedding where you're a guest,i've seen plenty of women wear boleros or other little jackets,it seems to be the norm,especially for a church wedding where it is considered good manners to cover your arms

  19. QUESTION:
    Whats a good alternative to the over-used bolero?
    I've seen so many wedding gowns with those little boleros and while I think they look nice, they are just so over-used. Do you have any suggestions on a good alternative? A shawl is too complicated and heavy to match with a long veil. Any ideas?

    • ANSWER:
      Forget the bolero, it will just give you "heavy" look.
      What's the neckline design of your gown anyway? If you have V-neck or off shoulder or halter then a bolero or shawl is tacky otherwise you'd look like "royal" if you're tall and your gown and bolero is similar to this: http://images.della.com/wc/fash/dressimages/Fashion_BridalGown_HDBA_456_664.jpg

  21. QUESTION:
    How hard is sewing a bolero?
    I'm a beginner... and I'm interested in sewing a bolero out of either satin or lace (bridal). My wedding dress is strapless and I wanted something to cover up a little. I thought that would be appropriate.

    My question: Is this possible? Given the fact that I can only sew pillows and curtains? haha Or any suggestions for an easy to follow pattern?

    • ANSWER:
      You've picked a couple of really non-beginnerish fabrics to work on.

      Satin tends to pucker when sewn, needlemarks (so you can't use pins on the part you see, or do much unstitching) and often watermarks during pressing. It's also a difficult to cut fabric for many people.. it really needs to be cut on paper to obtain accurately cut pieces to sew together.

      Lace, likewise, has some difficulties. Depending on the type of lace, you may need to use hairline seams, very narrow french seams, or you may wind up altering the pattern to suit the lace motifs and appliquing the seam -- this is particularly true with venise and similarly heavy laces.

      Both of these, imo, would be best left to an experienced seamstress for your wedding dress.

      I'm going to suggest something different... would you consider a bolero of tulle (bridal veil netting) or organza (sheer fabrics that aren't that hard to work with) with lace motifs appliqued to the jacket after construction? You can also add pearls, crystals or other decorations to the lace this way.

      If so, find a pattern you like and go play with the tulle or organza. Learn how to do hairline seams (tulle) or french seams (tulle or organza) on the extra, and then cut and sew the jacket. Don't like how it turned out? Buy a little more fabric and try again (both organza and tulle are dirt cheap, on the scale of bridal fabrics. (Silk organza, btw, is much nicer to work with than poly organza.)) Buy some lace that goes with any lace that's already on your dress, and cut out the motifs from the lace that you want to use and place them on the jacket, and hand stitch them into place with silk thread and add any decorations you wish.

      Books to read: Claire Shaeffer's Couture Sewing Techniques; Roberta Carr's Couture: The Art of Fine Sewing, and Susan Khalje's Bridal Couture. You're looking for hairline and french seams, and the information on working with sheer fabrics and with lace. Claire Shaeffer's Sew Any Fabric also has the seam information and suggestions.

      http://www.bestofneworleans.com/dispatch/2007-01-16/lim_men2.php
      The next to the last photo is of a tulle veil with lace applique, to give you an idea of the treatment. Both the lace at the hemline and the isolated motif are appliqued to the tulle.

      You could actually sew lace fabric with the same techniques as the tulle or organza, but nice laces tend to be so expensive that I'd hate to see you make a mistake with 0/yd lace. On the other hand, appliqueing lace to tulle or organza can make /yd lace trim or a quarter of a yard of expensive lace fabric look *very* couture.

      I would personally do something a little more simple as to not detract from the dress - any bolero jacket or stole/shrug in matching purples, silver or black would be fine. Just match your shoes and bag with it too. Here's another stole/shrug that would work...

  26. QUESTION:
    would a wedding shrug look right with a one tier veil?
    hi i am getting married in january in scotland and i have a strapless wedding dress and it had just dawned on me that it is going to be cold. so i was looking on ebay for shrug,shawls bolero jackets but i don't no which one to get because i am wearing a veil. so what do you all think? oh an my dress is quite a biggish one with a long train which has red in it.

    • ANSWER:
      I LIVE in Scotland so I know what you mean re the cold however im not sure about a veil and a shrug really, I would think one or the other.

      What to do is take your veil with you to a shop and try on a SHruG from like monsoon or something and see what you think for yourself. If you really need something I would think more of a nice pashmina that you could kind of drape round your arms.

  28. QUESTION:
    Do bolero jackets make a bust look larger or smaller?
    I'm going to be a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding this May and we all have matching dresses. They're silk halters, just a little longer than knee length, and beautiful! The bride picked out bolero jackets (cropped jackets) for us to wear during the ceremony.

    My chest is quite large (34DD) and so I would like to know if these types of jackets make your bust larger or smaller, so I know whether to wear a regular halter bra or a padded halter bra. Thanks!

      They will make your body look shorter, so whatever your bust size(34dd is not huge) i think personally it will look fine provided your arms are not huge.

  32. QUESTION:
    Can I wear open toe shoes to a "black tie optional" wedding?
    Wedding: End of June, 7:00 church wedding, reception follows at hotel. Invitation states "Black Tie Optional"
    Dress: Gold lace sheath, hits just above knee. Matching jacket (bolero cut) to be worn for the church ceremony. Husband wearing dark suit, white shirt w/cuffs, gold tone tie
    Can I wear open toe shoes, given hose is a no-no? Or, should I look for closed toe shoes? Is there a 'hose rule' for formal weddings?

    • ANSWER:
      You could wear open toe shoes with no hose. Just make sure your legs are super smooth and moisturized. I'd use a very subtle rosy nude shade of polish on my toenails, too.

      It sounds like you and your husband will look great together. Just relax and have a good time!! : )

  33. QUESTION:
    I am standing in a wedding, and the bridesmaids are looking for a small jacket that can go over the dress.?
    The dresses are strapless. The color of the wedding is mossy oak camouflage. The dresses that the bridesmaids are wearing is clover green and dark brown.. THANKS.
    A bolero jacket or small shrug would be perfect but if anyone knows where we can find one in that type of print. Any help is extremely appreciated.

      Davids Bridal offers several styles of wraps/jackets in a dark brown/truffle color. Otherwise, getting a pattern and making one with fabric you can find would be a great option too. Good luck! :)

  34. QUESTION:
    What to wear to cousins wedding?
    Well....
    My cousin is getting married in August and well of course since I am blood I will be in most of the photos and I need to look good LOL.
    I am wearing a tailored satin light pink dress and a light pink lace bolero, I am clueless to what Fascinator and shoes/clutch to wear - I need help PLEASE !

    • ANSWER:
      Answer: First of all, don’t upstage the couple. That means don’t wear white, don’t be tempted to go more formal than you think the couple will be, and don’t dress to call excessive attention to yourself (e.g. a super short miniskirt or a sequined tie.) After that caveat, try to dress appropriately for the time of day and the setting. A Sunday afternoon wedding generally means a coat and tie (perhaps with light-colored slacks) and flowing dresses. An evening wedding calls for a suit, or coat and tie with dark slacks. Unless the invitation specifically calls for it, never wear blue jeans, even if the invite says casual. Casual in this case means your best casual, not your weekend at home casual

  36. QUESTION:
    I have a wedding to attend. My dress is white with splashes (like brushstrokes) of black & fuschia?
    which are the colors. It is like a sundress, but it comes with a fuschia bolero. It's my niece's wedding. Should I wear black shoes or fuschia? I'm not very good with this dress up business.

    • ANSWER:
      Black...you can't go wrong with black dress shoes and a dress purse with this outfit....however if you don't get the shade of fuchsia just right, it won't look good......

      if you can find jewelry in jet black, that would be perfect as well....delicate black faceted beads that sparkle.... let the white & fuchsia stand on their own. Shoes, jewelry and bag should complement the outfit & pull it together so it all looks 'together'...with fuchsia shoes you run the risk of calling all the attention to your feet...and who wants an outfit to scream "FEET!" You want it to scream "ME!".

  37. QUESTION:
    Is it proper for the mother- of- the -groom to wear an outfit that is black and white at the wedding?

  38. QUESTION:
    is it ok to wear a black dress to a wedding?
    i have been looking around for dresses, and cannot find one that i like...or feel comfortable in...then i found a VERY VERY nice black dress...square neckline, straps so i can wear a regular bra, and goes to the knee...is this suitable for a wedding?? Also comes with a bolero shall like thing...HELP!!

    • ANSWER:
      When there's nothing else to wear,a little black dress should always be the go-to outfit.It's simple but classic and you can make it look anyway you want with accessories.
      If you don't want to look like you're going to a funeral or something,play with color.
      Try wearing yellow,neutral,turquoise,or gold shoes and accessories instead of just black.Red might be too bold for a wedding.

    I'm just a guest...(the cousin of the bride)

    • ANSWER:
      That is a great dress for a wedding :D It's beautiful and I think it would be fine is you wore nude stockings. Nude stocking will make your legs look healthier and good. I also think a cute silver Bolero jacket would look good with the dress because it would bring out the silver sequins. Like this one.....

      http://marctimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/alluring-Silver-Lace-Bolero.jpg

      Or maybe a silver and black Bolero like in this picture....

      http://s3.hubimg.com/u/3958446_f520.jpg

      Then I would pair it with strappy silver shoes, silver bracelets and silver earrings! :) Hope you have fun at the wedding!

    I need a Salsa father daughter song for my wedding?
    I'm getting married. This is a Puerto Rican wedding and I am desperate to find a Salsa song that my father and I can dance to. I can't stress enough, SALSA, not a bolero. Even if it's a love song that can be interpreted as a father daughter song as well. I hate Mi Nina Bonita, Mi Viejo, De Nina a Mujer, Carita De Sol. So please don't name those.

  44. QUESTION:
    What color bolero should my mom wear with her navy mother of the bride dress?
    My mother has purchased a navy like (technically the color is "marine") formal dress to wear to my wedding. The issue is that it is the same color as my two bridesmaids. I don't have a problem with it as long as i can make her look different than the bridesmaids. They are wearing the same color sheer cover up, so I was thinking of putting a silver satin bolero on her. The wedding is in September and has a light fall/sunflower theme to it. I've gotten mixed opinions on this. What do you think?

    • ANSWER:
      before reading the description silver is what i thought first of
      i feel other good options would be white lace, or black sequins
      or you could get something custom made with some patters of different blues and maybe a bit of nude
      would navy crochet be too similar to ur bridesmaids?

      You could do something quite unique and have a sleeved dress instead of the standard strapless! I really like the simpleness of this one...
      http://www.tjformal.com/48702/539675/Casablanca/Casablanca-Bridal-Gown-1743T.html

      Otherwise any dress will do - most are reasonably thick in material and will keep you warm - especially if you have a jacket with it.

      Maybe a gold-tone shawl, or try cream. Cream goes with brown tones very well and won't clash with the bride.

  50. QUESTION:
    What colour accesories to wear with a satin cream dress?
    Im going to a wedding on Saturday and have just purchased a lovely cream satin coast dress from e-bay, was thinking of wearing either a pashmina or bolero jacket with it, but what colour to go for, does anyone have ideas? I have dark brown hair, was thinking of dark chocolate brown?

    • ANSWER:
      hi...it depends on the color of your skin, time and motif of the wedding...

      if the wedding is in the morning, your accessories should not be too dark...just wear something that would give a light contrast to your cream dress...an earth-like shade of gold would be nice. example, for an elegant sophisticated look, you might want to wear a simple medium-gold bolero or shawl paired with an elegant gold earing and a watch or a bracelet.
      no need to wear a necklace.

      if its in the afternoon or at night, thats the time you should wear a darker contrast. this is the time when you should try on that dark chocolate bolero.
