Wedding cardigans are becoming increasingly popular
Open front sweaters are wonderful top garments that are not only practical when it comes to wedding outfits but also beautiful works of art that can embellish the bride’s look on her most special day. Bridal cardigans are becoming almost a traditional garment in wedding ceremonies. They are often custom-made by professional knitters who specialize in this type of knitwear. Decorated and embellished with beautiful flowery motifs, crafted from the finest wool, often made in a cropped style, these cardigans are intricate works of art.
Bridesmaids and groomsmen look great in open-front sweaters too. They are very convenient because of their lightweight, can easily be put on and taken off, and go well with neckties and bowties.
Popular colors for bridal cardigans
Groomsmen often opt for navy blue or grey color cardigans and bridesmaids look fabulous in red, maroon, or lavender color open front sweaters.
Styles of bridal cardigans
Bridal cardigans are often called Bolero open-front sweaters or Bolero crochet lace open-front cardigans. These delicate crochet cardigans are often made in a ¾ style and worn exclusively by brides. Half sleeve cardigans are also popular sweaters amongst brides and could be a great choice for bridesmaids as well.
Fabric and Yarn
Bridal cardigans are made with gentle and lightweight fabrics. Usually, wool used in these cardigans is merino, alpaca, or mohair silk. Sometimes blends will be rayon or imitation wool blends. Dry-cleaning is often the only recommended cleaning option for bridal sweaters. Cardigans worn by bridesmaids or groomsmen can be a synthetic, thin, or thick version with or without pockets and they are often machine washable.
Buttons or no buttons?
Bridal cardigans or Bolero-style cardigans usually come with no buttons. They are delicate knit or crochet wear that is truly an open-front style top. Although, many brides opt for snap button-down thin half sleeve cardigans.
Wedding stylist
If you are unsure what cardigan style to go with, you can consult your wedding stylist or even a wedding gown tailor who can help you select the best open-front bridal sweater for you.
