My dress comes with a lace bolero (long-sleeved), but it just didn’t go well with the whole look of the wedding. We’re doing a military wedding, but with upscale beach details because I’m from Guam. I’ve had my seamstress cut the sleeves to elbow length, which will bring the formality down a notch without going too informal, but I can also considered a luxurious, dark blue shrug, as I’ll be wearing a dark blue satin sash as well.

Of course, a luxurious, dark blue shrug is one of the hardest things to find on the Internet.. haha! During my search, though, I cam across many of the items you’ve featured… they are all so beautiful!

I agree with everyone though: J. Crew has the best cardigans (for a price), but don’t forget about Old Navy or Gap. Ann Taylor and Ann Taylor Loft always feature nice fabrics, but are on the more expensive side. I did a search on shopstyle.com, because it scours the net for me and I can view cardigans by color… hardly any dark blue shrugs.. lol!

And if you haven’t heard of shopstyle.com, check out their neat features, like saving looks and inspiration boards.

I get to see how my new short-sleeved bolero looks - fitting this Friday… woohoo! Then I’ll decide on whether or not to continue the search for my non-existent dark blue shrug.
