The Bolero
A bolero is a short or cropped tailored jacket that is a very popular choice for either spring/summer or fall/winter weddings.  Bolero jackets came in a variety of fabrics like smooth satin, silky sheer organza, lustrous taffeta, even thick, rich velvet.  Fabric choice, and long or short sleeve style, should be determined by the time of year that your wedding will take place.  

The Shrug
A shrug is a cropped, cardigan like garment typically knitted.  Available in short or long sleeves, shrugs may be tied just below the bustline or cut off at the sides like sleeves joined at the back.  A fuzzy wool shrug is warm and toasty in the wintertime while a cotton blend crocheted shrug is a better choice for springtime.

The Cape
A cape is a sleeveless outer garment that fastens around the neck and may be short or full-length.  Faux fur capes are a great choice for fall/winter weddings as they are super soft and warm. A shiny satin cape adorned with fluffy, fringelike marabou feathers is another cold weather option particularly pretty for weddings during the holiday season.  A breezy floral embroidered or super sheer cape is the just the thing for a flower girl looking to take the chill off a cool summer evening.
