Winter opens up so many options when it comes to styling your bridesmaids wedding day look.
In the heat of summer, you want your ladies to be cool and comfortable. The summer months are dominated by strapless, short dress styles. When winter rolls around, you no longer have to worry about your girls getting warm in the summer day sun. You can play around with longer dress styles, trendy sleeves, and not to mention fur wraps that finish off the perfect winter wedding look. We have 10 color options and styles for you to consider to create the perfect show stopping winter bridesmaid style. (Main photo: Whitney Neal via Chic Vintage Brides)

Mixed matched dresses are a great way to keep all of your bridesmaids feeling comfortable and pretty on your wedding day.
