    What type of cover up do you think would look best with my dress? I love boleros (especially with ruffle collars!) but I'm not sure if it'll be okay with my gown. Here is my dress:

    I'm sorry... I voted for cape. but only because like ten years ago, in early high school, I was one of those weird kids who wore a cape to school.

    *sigh*

    I'm a little bit ashamed of myself.

    Depending on the season I would say cape too actually. I'm considering one myself (don't be ashamed daydreamwanderer!) because they can give a kind winter wonderland effect.

    First of all....love your gown (AND it's named after me so I love it even more)!!!!!

    I voted for no cover-up because I wouldn't want to cover such a gorgeous gown. If I had to pick, I would go with a very simple bolero that matched the gown :)

    I love the idea of boleros. I'm with krissycake-- the 1st and 3rd definitely make me swoon. I think it's a neat idea to have for the ceremony if you wish, or for traveling from ceremony to reception and your send off. Great finds.

    I voted other. Depending on when your wedding is, maybe a fur stole?

    I love the bolero idea, the only thing I noticed is that your dress had a deep v in the back and bolero's might cut that off in a funny way.  Sorry my OCD kicked in when I saw that. But, I love the ruffle boleros.

    I don't think you need a cover with that dress since your wedding is in May. :)

    I voted for the first bolero... I mean, you could go without anything, but you obviously want a coverup!

    I'm a sucker for flowers.

    I think I want to wear something in my church- that's all though!! And the silverblue one is from Etsy I believe!

     

    Does anyone wear shawls anymore?

    I wear shawls, but in a very casual setting... knit ones with jeans. I never thought about a more formal one with a wedding dress.
