Bridal bolero? Will you cover your arms?

alicja & justin, on April 27, 2011 at 3:50 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 30

Hi girls! I will have church wedding and my mom said I need to cover my arms for the ceremony. Are you doing this? If so, can I see your cover ups ? I found couple things that I kinda like but can't decide. Here is my dress and some of the things I'm considering. What do you think? ps. My wedding is in early september and it should be nice and sunny but not too hot.

    My church does not think that way. it depends on your church... though because it is a nov wedding and i am always cold! i might get a cover anyways.

    I am wearing the Alfred Angelo shawl made for my dress simply to hide some fat old lady arm fat. Here it is.

    What kind of church wedding are you having? Some priests don't appreciate a great deal of skin. My daughter will be wearing some type of bolero when she gets married.

    I was wondering the same thing. I don't like showing my arms but I have strapless dress go figure. I like the middle one that you posted.

    Thanks!

    It's a catholic church but I know that it's not very strict so I don't have to be all covered up. I just want to have a little something on my shoulders.

    @ Carole - I love your dress and the shawl - very elegant Smiley smile

    My church is Catholic but all's I have to do is cover up my shoulders ... so I'm thinking something gauzy, simple, elegant ... and my BMs do too ...

    Yes simple and elegant! That's what I want to. Do you think the very first picture will look good with my dress? Or should I keep looking?

    I want to cover up strictly because my arms are bigger than my head!! Not really, but I hate my arms. Plus I have scars and stuff all over the tops.

    I really wanted this below, It matches my dress PERFECTLY! But I can't get it in time! =[

    Thanks BatmanBitch the one you found is really nice. I'll have to search this web site. I just had a quick look and found that: Do you think it's to much?

    Edit: picture

    some great prices on this site!

    $40... $60 with 2 day shipping.... check out the return policy, maybe worth it...

    I used this one in the 3rd example...

    I like the 3rd cut the best with your dress.

    @Alicja...Thank you.

    @Hayley....OMG...you did just make me wet my pants. I love your skills.

    I absolutely love the bolero Batman posted. That is actually what I wanted instead of the shawl. HOwever AA does not make them and I was afraid if I ordered from bestbridal, the champagne color would be totally off. This way I can dance with it on, and my old lady fat won't shake.

    LMAO! Hayley! I love you!

    Yes! I did see! I am going to run down town today and see if there is something in a random bridal store that will work, if not I will be ordering that one!

    Oh and my jewelry should be here today or tomorrow!!! =]

    I like both of the ones that Hayley put on your body!

    I think short sleeve would be better though, for September! =]

    WOW Hayley! I have know idea how you did this but I admire your skills. I wanted lace at first and I love the one you posted, but when I showed it to my MoH I was told it wouldn't match my dress because my dress doens't have any lace on it. After looking at those pictures I may change my mind Smiley smile THANKS SO MUCH

    The site I listed has solid ones too, and they are a good deal... if you see another, let me know and I can try it on for you.

    Hayley you are amazing! I like this web site. I found 2 more boleros I like and a better picture of my dress. Do you think I could wear lace with my dress or it doesn't really match?
