I'm getting married in March in New Jersey and would like to get my bridesmaids something to wear over their arms in case they're cold. Does anyone have suggestions as to where to look?
I'd check out some department stores. Macy's, Lord & Taylor, Nordstrom's, etc.
I just want to add that I think this is very nice of you. I was in a friend's wedding in NY in February. It was balls cold and she had us in strapless dresses. And she wouldn't let us wear shawls or cover ups. We all froze. She made us take 30 minutes worth of pictures outside.
I married in March (in NJ too!) and bought my girls shawls from ebay. I was able to buy them in bulk. I made sure to purchase them from someone who took returns in case they were crappy when they arrived. But they were very soft and the girls loved them! I think they were about $5 each since I purchased in bulk and they had a whole host of colors to choose from.
We're getting married at the Cathedral in Newark with reception at the Westmount Country Club. I'm not 100% sure yet, but will most likely go with black shawls
I was married a couple years ago in February in NYC and bought my BM's pashmina shawls...thepashminastore.com had a huge sale from Black Friday through Cyber Monday.
I bought some for my BMs from some deal on Groupon. But normally, I'd look a Macy's if I wanted to shop in person, or Amazon if I wanted to shop online.
One for each of them, and one for me so we all have them
@LDay2014 Do you mind sharing the name of the shop/seller? I have been looking on Etsy, but haven't been able to find any that were of decent quality but not super expensive, or where the seller didn't have a lot of bad reviews.

Oh fuck no! This past winter was fucking brutal in the Northeast, was she totally outside her mind?!
I would have been wearing my down maxi coat in between each shot, and I would have told her to kiss my frozen ass if she tried to say otherwise.

I got them through Bridal Bridesmaid - they're by no means a super fancy one but they were true to colour and are nice and soft.
We're getting married in 2 weeks and have no idea what to expect of the weather. I got them matching pashminas on Amazon for ~$10/each. Our colors are black, white and burgundy and the girls got burgundy to match their dresses.
I got my bridesmaids monogrammed scarves/shawls on Etsy from TheJoyfulPeach. The woman who runs the shop was amazing to work with and super quick! Tons of colors to choose from. Absolutely loved these.

I also bought a couple in black for the moms.
