As the leaves change color and the temperature starts to drop (finally!) many of the beautiful strapless and strappy gowns available seem like an impossibility for warm blooded brides and their bridesmaids. So to aid my shivering sisters I have compiled a list of beautiful options to keep you toasty and warm on your big day.
The first option is a traditional Pashmina shawl. Look for shawls that are 100% wool if you are looking for a thicker and warmer option like the ones available here:

They are 3 ply for extra warmth and there are 50 colors available to suit whichever color you may desire
Another great option for a chilly lady is etsy.com. They are a fantastic resource for handmade options that are both pretty and original for the bride looking for a unique wrap up. Here are some pretty options available from etsy:

Pronovias of Barcelona also offers a beautiful winter white blazer that begs for a extravagant pin or rosette to finish your look:

So here are some great alternatives to your favorite fleece so you will feel beautiful on your big day despite the cold. If anyone else knows of other warm options please feel free to post a comment to share with our sisters.
Cheers
