Keeping warm for January wedding?

tammythetiger · December 2011

What are you ladies planning to wear on your wedding day to keep warm? I've searched some capes/jackets to wear with my wedding dress but (1) I'm tired of spending money and (2) I can't find something that I think looks good with the dress. Suggestions?

a pashmina.

I got my 4 girls one and myself off ebay for 24.95. This is part of their gift so they don't get cold either.

I bought a cape. It's in my siggy.

I looked at capes but I don't like how any will look with my dress. I think I'm just going to wear a cute jacket between pictures, and take most pictures without a jacket. I've seen some really cute pictures of brides in cute winter coats over their dresses, so I think I'm going to just go with that.

I am getting a cute shoulder shrug from fabulousfurs.com. I don't think it will keep me very warm but it's super cute! Besides, it's so cold here in the winter the only time I plan to spend outside is running to and from the buildings to the limo

I have a white stole I was going to wear or a white caplet that I bought last year for new years eve

Great idea! I just plan on using booze. Drinking lots of bourbon!.......-kidding. Wedding is in New Orleans, so it likely won't be too cold, but hardly any humidity which means fabulous hair & makeup!..., Yes!..... I may think about the pashmina though, great idea!

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Keeping warm for January wedding? : I got Ivory since their dresses are dark purple and my dress is more of an ivory. I am not making them wear them if they don't want too. Only if they get cold. I do think it would be cute to take a pic outside with them quickly. It will probably be about 12 degrees or colder on my wedding day. <strong>Gotta love MN</strong>!

That is awesome! What color did you get them? My girls are wearing black so I got them black shawls. Also, are you having them wear the pashmina for the ceremony or just wear it for outdoors?

ezennaiter913 · December 2011

I wore a black velvet shawl over my dress. It was very warm since it was only 33 outside and snowing, and I was outside most of the time.

I'm also in MN and plan on wearing one of my dress coats over the dress (I have one in ivory -- perfect!). I told the girls to just wear their regular winter coat. I told them straightforwardly that we will be doing outside pictures, some with coats and some without, but I will not put any of them in danger of frostbite

None of them like the look of fur stoles/capes, and the only other thing that would've gone with their dresses is those expensive satin wraps that don't really keep you warm.

hippolover · December 2011

Ash? Did I know you were from MN? hmm strange, I would think I would have remembered that.

Where are you getting married? I am from down south near Rochester. But we are getting married in Lakeville.

I LOVE your cape Tara!!

I also love the shoulder shrug idea. I saw a girl who used shrugs and muffs for her bridesmaids instead of bouquets. Adorable!

AshP12 · December 2011

hippolover, I'm in the Twin Cities area. Our ceremony is in St. Paul, reception in Mpls. I'm so glad it finally snowed last night! Now I feel like I'm actually in my winter wedding season. I think we're date twins too! It's coming up quickly

hippolover · December 2011

Too bad I am not actually there Ash. I actually live in CO right now. My FI went to Eagan high school. Plus we have a lot of family in the cities, so when we are home we spend a lot of time in the citie.

YAY date twins!

I am making shawls for my girls out of fake fur to match the one that FIs aunt is making for me. I am also making capes for the Fgs
