For those who choose to have a winter wedding, my hat goes off to you for enduring the cold to take those gorgeous outdoor photos that I am so in love with. For men, it's easy! They get to be delightfully bundled in layers, while us women have to suck up our pain in pretty little dresses and smile big for the camera. It really isn't fair, is it? But because we are supporting and standing beside one of our best friends, we're more than willing to put up with the pain. So to keep your ladies warm during picture-time, consider pairing their winter bridesmaid dresses with some cozy attire that's perfect for the chilly weather and adorable in photos! Need some inspiration? Look no further--we have some fun and stylish ideas below that also make great bridesmaid gift ideas!

4 ways to keep warm with winter bridesmaid dresses.

1. Cover up with a cardigan. Have the girls bring their own or buy them cardi's that perfectly coordinate with your wedding colors. The look is sophisticated, fun, and it's a piece that your 'maids will gladly wear again! Cardigans not your style? Cover up with a soft flannel. You can even glam up the look by rolling up the sleeves, knotting at the waist, and pairing with a feminine strand of pearls.

2. Dress in vintage fur coats. Whether you scour thrift stores, your grandma's closet, or hit the racks at Forever 21 (they might not be vintage, but at least they're cheap!), style your 'maids in fancy fur coats that will look extremely elegant and vintage-chic!

3. Add cute accessories to the winter bridesmaid's look. Chunky knit scarves or gloves are a simple way to add some warmth and fun flair to their dresses. Keep the pieces neutral or add in bright pops of color that can act as a statement piece.

4. Wear boots and leggings under a floor-length bridesmaid dress. This isn't necessarily the cutest way to style your 'maids for the cold, but if no one can see it, who cares! Plus, you can capture some fun moments of the girls showing off their fancy boots!

How would you style your bridesmaid's for winter?

Keep in mind that your ladies won't be wearing their cardigans and gloves the entire wedding. The accessories could even just be worn in-between photos, but providing them with something warm is a nice gesture that I guarantee will be appreciated. So the question is:
