When it’s as cold out as it is right now, all you want to do is snuggle up on the couch with a good book and a glass of red wine. Well, maybe that’s just me. Regardless, we thought, what better way to convey this warm fuzzy feeling that we all love so much about winter, than through an inspiration board? We hope you enjoy it!

Hello Autumn weather! We here in New York have all endured a long, hot and humid Summer and these past few days have us loving the cooler weather. And with cooler temperatures comes one of our favorite things about Fall: layering!

So for this week’s inspiration post, we bring to you a few fun and stylish boleros and jackets to consider pairing with the gown for your big day. If you’re getting married in the Fall or Winter, what are you planning to wear over your shoulders, if anything at all? We’d love to hear from you!

This first bolero is a favorite of ours from Jim Hjelm. We love the contrast between the delicate tulle and heavier beading.

The next two are from Blue by Enzoani. We’re loving the texture that the tulle, long-sleeved overlay can add to any gown.

And who wouldn’t love the petal details and fun finishing on this bolero? We certainly do!!

Whether you’re looking for something temporary that can be removed during the reception, or a full build up of sleeves, we can surely accommodate! Make your appointment today to try on these boleros and more!

We have a new bridesmaid dress in the store that everyone is loving. Jim Hjelm’s Occasions line brings us style number 5162 in the stunning color Azalea. The chiffon strapless A-line dress features a beautifully draped sweetheart bodice, natural waist and pleated tiered skirt. We’re loving the slight dip in the back and the floral belt. Figure-flattering and fun, your bridesmaids will love you for choosing this dress for your favorite ladies on your big day! Take a look for yourself!

Make an appointment today to bring in your bridesmaids and try on this gown along with others from the Jim Hjelm Occasions line! Hope to see you soon!

There is a new Blush by Jim Hjelm gown in our store that is getting rave reviews and we couldn’t wait to share it with you! Style number 1150 is a classic A-line shape that features a natural waist and a halter neckline. The belted floral detail puts just the right finishing touch on this beautiful silky taffeta gown. Just take a look for yourselves!!

We’d love to see this gown with a lace veil similar to this LC Bridal style:

Where would you wear this dress? We’d love to see it at one of our favorite venues, the River Cafe, right here in Brooklyn. With such amazing views, you really can’t go wrong for your big day.

Happy Wedding Planning!!
