Wedding Blog
Yet again, Etsy has proven to be a fabulous site for wedding inspiration. Seller Bonzie was recently featured on the site. Here’s a sample of her lovely handmade boleros and wraps:
After seeing these, along with the amazing bolero Miss Cheese was gifted, and how awesome Miss Peep Toe looked sporting one with her dress, I must find a bolero or wrap to wear for our reception. I usually live in sweaters and cardigans anyway, so it makes sense to wear something similar on my wedding day. I think I’ll also feel a little more comfortable in my strapless dress with a wrap/bolero on than I would without one. And who knows, maybe it will actually be cold in October. 
Will you be wearing a bolero, shrug, or wrap for your wedding?

Oooo, since your a sew-bee, will you try to make one?!
omg that first one is beautiful!!
can we presume that your dress is strapless? 
These boleros are so stylish…how cute just for a night on the town!
I sported an ivory vintage-looking pashmina on my wedding day. It went well with the traditional, elegant feel of everything.
@Miss Bear Cub: You’re Perceptive. Yes.
@Miss Bruschetta: If I do try to sew one, it will have to be after the long list of oter thing I need to get done first.
I just got one from Bonzie and LOVE it. My wedding is 9/26 and I can’t wait to wear it. I highly recommend them:)
I really like some of those. The second one was a bit over the top for me, but I really like the flowers on a couple of them! I’ll be wearing a plain bolero that goes with my dress. It’s part of what drew me to the set.
those are gorgeous! I can’t wait to see which one you pick!
I thought about getting one, but I think I am going to stick with the plain ole dress
I’m having one custom made by etsy seller holly stalder. PM me if you want to see what she’s done for me so far or have any questions!
I looove boleros. I really want one but it totally doesn’t go with my dress. The only thing I don’t like about her boleros is the way most of them are detailed in the back - a lot of them aren’t ‘full’ they just have a strap, which is a little weird to me.
I was looking at some of those boleros too! I ended up going with a faux fur wrap for my winter wedding. When else would I wear one? hehe
I LOOOOVE boleros too! I usually wear cardigans and sweaters so I know what you mean about feeling a little more comfy
I brought a beautiful wrap that was my mother’s in case I got cold. But we were dancing all night and more often then not, I had to take a break to find a napkin to dab sweat! Needless to say, I didnt end up using the wrap. But those are sooo fun!! I’d be careful to choose one to enhance the dress and not to over shadow it.
I saw these a few months ago and forgot to bookmark the seller.. I’ve been trying to find them ever since. Thanks so much!
@Lexatron: I saw the blue one on her site too- it would make the perfect “something blue”!
