Dressing the shoulders

I have been searching high and low for something suitable to compliment my wedding dress as I want to cover my shoulders when we’re in church.

Enter super crafty Joy Kelley, who I first discovered as Mrs Poodle on Weddingbee. Not only did she handcraft some amazing items for her wedding, which took place last month {everything you see below she made},

but she also wore a fabulous purple bolero over her dress, which when I saw, decided it would be perfect to wear with my dress in church.

After a quick exchange of emails {she is lovely btw} I discovered she made her bolero as well and she is now making mine! Joy is officially part of Team Ace and I am her first bolero customer {and international customer at that}!

Now I’m not as brave as Joy to wear a purple or a red bolero {mine will match my dress}, but tonight she sent me two styles to choose from.

So we have Style 1…

or Style 2…

Which is your favourite?
