Winter wedding bridesmaids

You want your winter wedding bridesmaids to look beautiful at your wedding, and we all know that girls big and small love to dress up - but flimsy dresses may not be enough to keep them comfortable on a chilly winter day. So you may need to consider a pretty bridesmaid bolero to keep the cold at bay. That way, they'll be smiling through the ceremony, rosy-cheeked at the reception, and gorgeous for the photographs, even the ones taken outside!

The flower girl or bridesmaid's dress is your most important decision, and we have some exquisite occasion wear for little girls - for tiny bridesmaids, the Olivia bridesmaid dress, the Joni bridesmaid dress and the Arabella bridesmaid dress are truly delightful styles, while older girls will love the princess-like simplicity of the Isabella bridesmaid dress, Fleur bridesmaid dress, Lily-Mei bridesmaid dress and Ellie bridesmaid dress. Matilda, Antonia and Carla are also classic designs that will add beauty to any wedding. These delicate confections will need an extra layer over the shoulders in winter time, and we have two gorgeous suggestions:

First, for really chilly days, available in October 2007 we have a ravishing child's fur shrug in ivory that is perfect for bridesmaids at winter weddings. The outside is a super soft, cuddly faux fur, lined with satin, and it has incorporated sleeves so that the line of the shrug is unbroken. It's so pretty, and will keep little shoulders warm too without swamping the dress - and it's an investment that will stay in the family for generations.

Or you may prefer our glamorous, lightweight velvet and maribou bolero also availale in October 2007. Think 30s film stars in long satin frocks, wafting about in fur-trimmed wisps! The velvet and maribou bolero comes in ivory and white and will add elegance to any winter wedding outfit, while providing a welcome extra layer on icy days. And for a finishing touch, in October 2007 there's a luxurious maribou dolly bag to match the bolero.

Lastly, don't forget to keep little legs warm and cosy with pretty bridesmaid lace tights. And one final tip: let your bridesmaids have a secret weapon against the cold - a lacy thermal vest!
