Wrap/Jacket for Dress - Help

[jcrow]

since we''re getting married in november and having an outdoor reception, i thought it''d be a good idea to have something to wear to keep me warm. i thought i''d get get a deep red pashmina to match my bouquet and color scheme. but, i''m open for other options. any ideas???

oh, and a reminder that in louisiana it''s not usually freezing cold **crossing fingers!!**

here''s a pic of my wedding dress.

I know you want red, which I think is really cool, but what about something like this? It might require less re-adjusting while you eat, drink, dance, hug and romance!

 

[jcrow]

ohh, i like that... and if you could tie it in the back- now that would rock!

 

[mercoledi]

Or for something more dramatic but less warm:

At Ann Taylor

hmm... I bet you could cross it in the front and tie or pin it in the back, the ties look pretty long. I love that thing! If I had anywhere to wear it I'd already own one!

ETA: here's a friend of mine with her red roses and red wrap (and red shoes, jewlery, nails...)

 

[jcrow]

yeh, i wish it was available- and in white of course!

I like this one, but in another color. I think you could get some wear out of it after the wedding too.

eeek, sorry about that, they had it on Wednesday. How about this? It''s actually in stock, comes in red and it''s from LA too.

Here''s a beautiful, affordable cranberry pashmina:

I love pashminas, but I don't thik I love them paired with wedding gowns, especially, such a gorgeous one such as yours!!!

What if buy a nice red satin and trim in with a thin white piping, or white satin with thin red piping? I will look for a picture...
or do one side red, one side white?

I guess for me, a wedding dress deserves a more regal look.


oh, and are you open to sleeves?

 

[upgrading mama]

ooooh how about a cute cape??
but so as to not hide your gorgeous dress, make it shorter, like to the back of your shoulder blades?

 

[jcrow]

i initally wanted a white very fitted jacket. but i don''t know where i''d find one to match and all...

 

[upgrading mama]

and I do like this too.....hehehe

Hi JCrow-

IMHO, dont know how I feel about the whole pashima thing. Your dress is way too beautiful to cover up!!!! What to do, I dont know though....I am no help!

 

[upgrading mama]

ooh, I would hate to see you cover all that detail with a fitted jacket....
If you do the reversible wrap, you can wear it so that the flaps are tied in the back showing both the red and white, which I think would be a nice touch.

 

[jcrow]

i just thought a nice fitted jacket (think silk satin like dress) wouldn't overwhelm my petite frame like all that fabric of capes/pashmina's would. i think a fitted jacket would give me long clean lines.

i think that's why i was drawn to the first post by mercoledi- it's fitted and if tied in the back, it'd give me some definition.

 

[upgrading mama]

another (sorry)!

I like the one Mercoledi posted, but for this purpose, I would tie it in the back, so you don''t hide the beautiful detail...or use a silver or red nice pin?

 

[jcrow]

well i''ll need to find another like it, because the one she posted isn''t available. i agree, i''d tie it in the back.
i LOVE the one she posted, actually!

 

[upgrading mama]

how about something silver?? or as before, the white with silver trim?

what color are your girls wearing, red?

 

[upgrading mama]

how about this, with sleeves (or even a high collar?)

 

[jcrow]

girls are wearing champagne.

 

[jcrow]

yes, that''s more of what i was thinking.

Our wedding was in November and my mom made these white faux fur bolero for me and my BMs. I thought they were adorable.

Here's a picture of my mom and us in the bolero

Mon Cheri has a fur bolero. House of Brides sells them. Here's the link.

Bolero on ebay.

I think that matching the satin of your dress to a jacket will be hard; silver or red might be the way to go. This:

comes in red satin. Here.
