I would wear it for part of the reception and some of the pictures. I think it's fun, but I prefer a simpler, more classic look. The 50/50 would be a good compromise. Great color, too, and you look fabulous in your dress!
I really like it. I think it's a lovely accompaniment to your dress. If you're unsure though why don't you wait until the actual wedding day and decide then? You can always sell it later.
Were you looking to wear it to the ceremony and reception, or just the reception? Is the wedding outdoors? I think it would look fun for the reception and might help keep you warm if your wedding is outdoors and goes into the evening. But for the ceremony, I prefer you without it.
I have to say that being totally honest, I'm not a fan. It's definitely not you at all. It's the bolero. It's too much with the dress, I think because of the color. I would try to sell it.
If it makes you feel any better, I made two or three purchases for the wedding where afterwards I thought to myself, "what was I thinking!?" I realized this before the wedding, and was happy I did some self-editing, even if I was out a few bucks.
I bought and returned 20 pairs of shoes before I found the right ones - keep looking and see if something else strikes your fancy - you can always sell it later!
I like it- my bm had boleros on and I sort of wished I had had one too, I agree wait and see if you like it on the day and sell it after if you don't wear it (or sell it used if you do)
IDK, I'm kind of traditional and I feel like your wedding day is the 1 day you get to dress up as the bride, so I tend to prefer you without the bolero. I think it's pretty, but it doesn't go with your wedding gown. You can always wear it to the rehearsal dinner with a white cocktail dress, that would be so fabulous!
I love the color, but I don't think it looks right from the back. It covers up part of the back of the dress, so I prefer it without. Your dress is so elegant and beautiful, and I don't think the bolero goes.
I really like the bolero on its own, but it does seem out place with all white. You might consider adding a large blue brooch offset at the waist to tie it together.
I think it's a very pretty bolero and you should keep it - but for a different occasion. It seems to dress-down the outfit, IMO. I think because it's such a bold color - not really for the design, etc.
I think you should keep the bolero to wear it with other dresses. I can really see it dressing up a plainer cocktail dress nicely!
I think it kind of overpowers the dress... i like the suggestion about adding a broach or something but then you really are cahnging the whole look of the dress. I'd keep it for another time.
do you have a photo of you in your dress WITHOUT the bolero?
To be honest, I don't really like it with your dress. I think it distracts all attention from it. I love the color tho. :)
I think there's something about the glaring contrast of all white with a super bright blue that is making it seem off to me. I'd sell it, I think.
I agree with some of the others that it looks kinda off what with the bright blue and the white. I'd sell it, but if you love it, wear it!
It is really cute, but seems out of place. Try a matching blue sash or something to tie it together more.
I am not a fan of boleros because I think they take away from the initial design of the dress, however I do understand that some girls wear them to be acceptable for their church ceremony or because of the weather, etc. I think the bolero you bought is pretty but the color I think doesn't work.
On its own I think its super cute, but its such a big contrast from the dress I'm not sure it goes. I feel like if the dress had a sash in that color the bolero would totally work.
I have to say I don't care for it either. Somehow it makes your overall outfit look less "bridal". Maybe if you want color it would be good in a pale ice blue? But otherwise I say no. My honest opinion.
I agree with the people that said it's overpowering. In those pictures, all I see is the bolero. I don't see your face or your dress at all.
I think the blue is just too much. If you had the same bolero in white it would look better. So I voted for "sell it". Otherwise just wear it in a couple pictures.
It lays funny and cuts off right at your tattoo, which seems a little awkward for me. I think it takes away from the back of your dress, so I voted to sell it.
i think it covers the best part of the dress which is the top of the back.. i do like boleros but this one is too much and not flattering the dress..
It's cute and I would wear it for part of the day. I prefer very simple lines and classic flowy look. But I think it does go with your dress and could really add some flair.
It brings out your eyes- I would do as other poster suggested and wear it for some photos and part of the reception.
Forgive my directness (I just had 3 beers on an empty stomach). If you like the bolero, wear it to your rehearsal dinner. This does nothing for your dress and makes your beautiful figure look awkward. Skip it.
Beatiful bolero -your something blue no doubt. But to be honest, as you asked, I don't love it with the dress. As some others said, I think it's the stark contrast. Wear it to the reception or for pics or to the reh. dinner. It DOES cover the beautiful corset back of your dress.
@Georgia Bee: LMAO!! 3 beers on an empty stomach!
While I do think it's a cute bolero, it just doesn't do it for me with your dress. The puff sleeves make your shoulders look wider, and your dress is so pretty on it's own that even if it didn't I would still probably suggest that you not wear it during the wedding.
If you still feel that you want to wear it, I would wear it to the reception only. Either way, you could still sell it after the wedding.

I bought a beautiful bolero from Etsy seller maryandangelika but in the past few weeks I've really been doubting whether or not it "goes" with my dress. So I've been toying with the idea of selling it.
What do you think? Please give me honest feedback!!
Excuse the fact that I have no make up on and that my dress is all wrinkly. Oh and I won't be wearing my veil that way either.
