Is it in you?
Although it is not the latest trend, bridal boleros are still holding their own as a wedding accessory. Some houses of worship require brides and their bridal parties to cover their shoulders, which is where a bolero can come in handy. That way you can still purchase the strapless gown you desire, and have a few different looks for pictures. Other brides want them just because they look fabulous--and there is nothing wrong with that!
Boleros look great any time of year--try a faux fur bolero for a winter or spring wedding, a lace or taffeta one will be perfect for the summer months.
I've collected some of my favorite ones here.
Boleros come in all sorts of fabrics, from fur and lace to silk and chiffon. There are also a wide selection of price points, and I have tried to collect a variety of looks in all ranges of price. If purchasing a bolero online, be sure to take proper measurements and ask questions about sizing before you purchase.
