    well in my looking for a dress, I've notice that these boleros are a great accessory to the wedding gown, especially if the ress is simple, the little jacket takes it to another level...anyone out there agreee?

    They're pretty amazing, especially if you're having a church ceremony where you want to be a little more demure. Then, for the reception, sass things up by taking it off.

    Sadly, I think my dress has too much going on for one, but yes, they're dreamy!

    I love, love, love boleros! If you can wear one you totally should! If you are looking for something unique Etsy has some great options.

    NishP27 -- Love, love, love BOLEROS.  Unique, romantic, mysterious -- sensational! Plus, on my opinion, they make the bustline and torso pop under the gown.  Very sexy in fact.  I'm definitely wearing one over my strapless (I have two gowns -- one Maggie on the way and another one who's label I'm not sure of -- seems to be a cross between a Sophia Tolli and an Anne Barge).  Love all! My Maggie I've ordered with a bolero in the same satin, diamond white.  The Anne-Barge look alike, the seamstress will make me a beaded satin bolero out of the long train!

    But, I love the first bolero you have up.  How can I order/buy this one? Help -- I have found them so very hard to find???

    I really wanted a strapless dress but felt a little self conscious so i got a bolero and i think i am going to be really happy with it.

    I agree that jackets and boleros are great! I'll probably look for one once I choose my dress, especially since it will be in a church and I'll be more comfortable with my shoulders covered (I usually don't have them bare, so it'd be awkward and I'd probably also get cold).

     

    I also just looked at this post, and really like one of the dresses. Its the 4th photo down on my screen, and the pic is called "425_2007front_wshawl.jpg" Any chance that anyone knows what this dress is?

    OMG!!! YES YES AND YEEEESSSSSS to BOLERO!!!! im wearing one for my spring wedding! mine is lace over a lace gown very ROMANTIC!!!

    your dress is glamorous! it doesnt look like a lot of lace so i would go with a cap short sleeve satin bolero with a high ruffle collar

    hey Anjolique has changed their website, and now I don't see any of the pics that are above, I guess the best thing to is get the store info that sells that band and go there, I know they sell the boleros separate.

    I LOVE boleros!!  I wore one with my dress after the ceremony.  It was covered in pearls and gave the dress a whole different look.

    I'm doing one! I'm getting married in late October and I get cold easily, so I needed one.

    Mine is going to be more like these:

    I have a longer jacket over my dress with a sash over the jacket.  As a plus sized girl, I'm more comfortable with my arms a little covered.  It was also a great way to save money.  Since I didn't want a long train, I went with a simple white bridesmaids dress and had a friend make the jacket and sash for me.  The lace was a little pricey, but in the end, I'm only spending about $300 including alterations.

     

    This was the look I was going for and got pretty close!

    I absolutely love them. I haven't started my dress search but i intend on getting a fairly simple dress and then vamp it up with a bolero.
