I'm getting married in December. My bridesmaids are wearing dresses similar to this

I'm not sure what to get them to keep warm. I think stoles look a bit dated now. I'm wearing a fur coat. I could get the same for them but can anyone think of any alternatives please?

I vote for faux fur. It would look stunning with those dresses.

Some of those ideas are lovely, but a little impractical. A lace bolero with 3/4 length sleeves is about as much use as a chocolate frying pan for keeping warm in December.

I love the bridesmaid dresses BTW.

More great ideas thanks! Yes the ceremony isn't in a church, it's in a (heated) historical building. And obviously the cars will be heated. Those dresses aren't the exact bridesmaid dresses, you can't get them now so I couldn't link, but they're the same colour and very similar.

Have you made a decision. Surely wearing a pashmina is better than freezing.

Haven't got anything to add, just wanted to say that your dress is BEAUTIFUL Wine

Yes I have! We're getting knitted woollen shawls from an etsy shop. Smile

Thanks JJJ, I didn't fancy a strapless corsety thing, which was all they seemed to have in the bridal shops.
