To tie in her bridesmaid looks with the overall theme, Bess had her bridesmaids don neutral-colored cocktail dresses, which they paired with gold earrings and faux-fur shrugs to keep them warm during pictures. While the women were planning to wear brown bootees for photos, a heavy snowstorm the night before the wedding changed that. “They were all replaced that morning with brightly colored rain boots that my mom bought at the closest Walmart once she woke up and realized how impossible it was going to be for us all to walk in the snow,” Bess says. “They ended up being such a fun touch.”
