Since I am planning a "snowy" wedding and do not want many flowers other than my bouquet and my sister's bouquet, here's what my 7 bridesmaids and 2 Juniors will be carrying down the aisle.
Aren't they different? I think the bridesmaids will appreciate having something to keep their hands toasty, especially since I'm praying to the Snow Gods that we have a little bit of white on the wedding day!
I know there are seasonal flowers that I could have used but I just wanted to stick with my theme. This may sound pessimistic (but if you know me, you know I'm quite the opposite!) but I love the "deadness" of winter, which is why I'm also planning on replacing floral reception centerpieces with white branches!
I'm glad I'll be able to bring the muffs when my bridesmaids order their dresses in the next month. The white is going to pop against the dark blue dresses. I'm also glad I got them out of the way so I don't have to worry later on about any timelines. These muffs were handmade and so the ordering process took about 3 weeks. SewUDesigns worked pretty fast but it still might have made me nervous had I waited until a month before.
The best part about these muffs? They only cost me $20 each! That's about a third of the cost bridesmaids bouquets would have been. Just another reason why I love having a winter wedding :)
Along with the muffs I also ordered this wrap for myself. I love it!! It's ivory and lined with fleece to keep my shoulders warm during our outdoor pics.

So yet another thing checked off my wedding to-do list! I'm really proud of myself for being proactive and doing things early enough. Sometimes I can be a bit of a procrastinator!
Thoughts on the muffs? Love 'em? Think they're too corny?
Don't worry; even if you do, I'm still making my girls wear 'em!
