Bolero Jacket and Jewellery for My Wedding Dress

Can you help me source a bolero jacket and earrings ? Time is running out - only 8 weeks to go! The dress is a slimline A in a lace design. I can't seem to pull the look together.


Hi Marisa, congratulations on your upcoming wedding day! This is exciting - the dress is beautiful :-)

You need a bolero that is simple and doesn't draw attention away from your lace dress - either a white faux fur or simple organza/satin shrug will do.

There are many ways to style a wedding lace - these days it's really up to your own personal style. For example, are you into romantic, dramatic or classy style? We can make the wedding dress look feminine and sweet; bold and fashionable; or really classy. But since your dress is already lacy I suggest you either go for a classy or dramatic/glam look.

I found one online shop who offers a good range of bridal boleros, shrugs and wraps; Wrap Or Shrug.co.uk.

Have you found your seasonal color group? Make sure that you select the right white color for your coloring - ivory and cream flatter peach, golden and warm undertones. Stark white on the other hand looks best on fair bluish or pinkish, or anyone with a deep coloring (dark hair).

I also sourced some great-looking chic bridal jewelry earrings at Overstock Jeweler:

Pop of Color

If you prefer to add a pop of color to really make your cheeks glow then I suggest cubic zirconia crystal earrings in colors like pink, sapphire blue or canary yellow.

March 2010 Update: I just noticed your double-post in some of the other forums so I tried to find a 3/4 bolero organza tulle online but unfortunately didn't any; you might want to check out this link Wed-shopping as they provide some longer-sleeved bridal boleros. The con is that they're located in Poland but they do have a guarantee and returns policy. Or you might want to consider having a tailor make a bolero for you.

I wish you the best of luck on your wedding day! :-)

Kind regards,
