How to Buy Bridesmaid Dresses for a Winter Wedding. Keep your wedding party warm and
cozy -- and looking great -- on your big day. You will need Bridesmaids and accessories.
Step 1. Stick with a classic style dress that is not too tight, so your bridesmaids will
be able to add a layer underneath for warmth. Consider dresses with sleeves or even a high
neckline. A-line shaped dresses flatter just about every body type. Step 2. Choose a heavy
fabric -- it will conceal any added layers underneath. Crepe silk, satin, and velvet
are perfect choices. Step 3. Skip the mini skirts. Dress your bridesmaids in long, evening
gown-length dresses. Short, cocktail lengths are for spring or summer ceremonies. Step
4. Choose darker, jewel-toned or metallic colors that complement the season. Step 5.
Add accessories to their dresses. Spruce up their look with opera-length gloves, a jacket,
or a wrap. Add a touch of faux-fur around the collar or the top of the sleeves for the
perfect winter accent. Did you know Princess Diana's wedding dress was designed by Welsh
designers David and Elizabeth Emanuel.
