The best way to keep warm on the wedding day if its going to be cold is of course the Faux Fur wedding Bolero.  You may be feeling the nerves a little, you may even start to shiver on a cold day, but wrapped up in the fur you will be back in that comfort zone again. There can be nothing worse than being uncomfortable on your wedding day and showing it in front of all the guests. let’s not forget the wedding video that will show every shiver.  The faux fur bolero also adds Hollywood style and glamour to your wedding outfit.  What girl wouldn’t feel great in one of these!

This is a lovely Faux Fur Ivory Bolero which has a hidden hock and clasp. The idea is so you may wear it loose or fastened.  Simply cut this bolero could be worn again and again.
The three-quarter length sleeves on this Bolero will provide that extra warmth on the cold day as well as looking fantastic.  The short cut of the jacket accentuating the waist line.  This style of faux fur bolero is every girl’s friend, adding extra width to your shoulders will make your waist look instantly slimmer.
This is my favourite.  With the high collar and detail cut into the faux fur it looks absolutely stunning.  The bolero in soft white faux with long sleeves and not only looks stylish but will make you feel warm in the cold weather. The Bolero has a satin lining that will make it feel exquisite on the inside as well as looking fabulous on the outside.   A stunning addition to anyone’s wardrobe.
We can see with this Faux Fur 3/4 length sleeve bolero that you can also wear it for any other occasion when you need just a little something extra to keep you warm.  So your wedding bolero will be able to be worn again and again unlike most wedding dresses which are worn once.

Once again Victoria Beckham is wearing a another bolero, this time it’s by Chanel and she is wearing it to the magazine awards. We can see how the wedding bolero can be worn to almost any occasion and dresses up the most simple of little black dresses.  With a bolero your little black dress will look more sophisticated.

The critics and designers feel a trend coming on especially Ms. Vera Wang who sure thinks so!

Vera Wang

When asked about the potential for bridal gowns with sleeves to catch on she said: “Nothing would make me happier. For 15 years I have been doing strapless dresses. It’s tiring.”  And with the fantastic designs that are currently around you can see why.   The Long sleeves with a frill or ruffle at the end can be absolutely stunning and will completely flatter and match any simple yet stylish wedding dress you want to wear underneath.  The bolero jacket adds a whole new dimension to any dress.

When choosing your bolero make sure it complements your gown and preferably be part of a matching set.  Don’t choose anything too fussy or busy as you don’t want your wedding dress over-shadowed by the bolero.

A nicely fitted bolero is ideal because it fits closely to the torso.  It will not detract from your gown but merely add another dimension.  The right style bolero jacket will enhance your figure.  A bolero can also be used to disguise any imperfect upper body areas.

If you want to wear a bolero choose a matching fabric.  Popular fabrics are lace, organza, satin, mikado or silk. I think lace boleros are stunning and they don’t add bulk to your outfit.  For something a little different how about organza ruffles?  The designers have spoken – boleros are “in”.
