I'm wearing a lace bolero. I bought it at the bridal salon. It originally went with another gown, but it look perfect with the gown I was ordering, so we ordered it also.
@ pharmy The first one is such a great find, thanks! Here's another question for you ladies: my dress is ivory chiffon, do you think I can wear a lace bolero? I hadn't actually considered it, but these are pretty beautiful. Can lace go with chiffon?
I agree, boleros are better than wraps because you don't need to worry about it falling down. I bought my bolero from this Etsy seller: http://www.etsy.com/shop/maryandangelika
Yes, in my opinion I think that would look nice, as long as the ivories matched.
I am making my dress with sleeves...but Love this one.

Are you wearing a veil? My understanding is that at least most Conservative rabbis treat a veil that covers the shoulders as sufficient. However, YMMV.
i have a chiffon dress and i am wearing a chiffon shurg with it. from davids bridal. online it says they dont have it in ivory but i know they do...bc i had to try mine on in ivory but then order white..
Thanks for the shopping tips! I'll check them all out!
And @2dBride -- that is a very good point! I am definitely wearing a veil, but it never ocurred to me that it could act as a shoulder covering. I might want a bolero/sweater for warmth's sake anyway, but it's good to know that I might not be required to wear one. I'll have to ask! Thanks so much!
I'd ask your rabbi - our wedding was traditional for a Conservative wedding and I still needed coverage. My seamstress made a lovely top that went on like jacket (sort of) and zipped in the back and was attached in the dress with velcro. At the reception, I was just able to get out of the sleeves and unvelcro it and was back to a strapless dress.
I had the same issue and my dress was chiffon - I had a "donut" made out of chiffon that I could just slip on and it covered my shoulders for the ceremony. I had mine made at Kleinfelds but basically it is a chiffon tube, I'm sure many people could make it!
@hermitcrab: Thanks! That's a very good idea. I'm going to a bridal shop this weekend (dress in tow!) to pick out the right longline bra, and I think asking about making a bolero or "donut" :) is a great idea. Thanks again!
@BostonBrideToBe: I think lace could look great with chiffon, and add some texture too.
We're conservative also, but our rabbi told us that he's only concerned with having my shoulders covered in the synagogue and that he's ok with straps counting but no strapless dresses on the bride or bridal party. Sadly, our wedding grew too big early in the planning process and we won't fit in the synagogue anyway, so he said it doesn't matter what I wear.
Because we're getting married outdoors in Colorado in October (weather permitting), I found a little sweater at Macy's during their graduation sale of all things white/ivory. I wish I could find it on line but it looks like this one, only ivory, short sleeved, and V-neck (only the 3 lower buttons). It looks great with my 1950's style ivory taffeta party dress.
I bought a white bolero last week at Dress Barn. They have 5 or 6 styles for about $30 each.
Thanks ladies! I still haven't decided on what I want, so these are still helpful!
My Conservative Rabbi informed me that as long as my Vail covered my shoulders I would be fine. No need for a bolero jacket etc.

We're being married by my fiancé's family Rabbi and we are conservative Jews, so I need to make sure my shoulders are covered during the ceremony, but I'm really struggling to find the right shoulder covering! I'm leaning towards an ivory bolero, sheer jacket, fancy cardigan, etc, rather than a shawl that would risk sliding down (which would be annoying/distracting).
What is everyone else wearing (whomever is covering their shoulders)? Any good shopping links to share?
