When you pick the date for you wedding, the one thing you don’t have any control over is what the weather is going to be like that day.  If your wedding day is during a time of year where snow or rain is prevalent, a fun way to prepare would be to get galoshes.  They add a little jazz to the wedding photos after the ceremony, and everyone’s feet stay dry!

Two of my good friends, Katelin and Ross, got married a month ago here in St. Louis.   It’s winter here,  so sometimes you have no idea what the weather will be like at any given time.  To prepare, all of their bridesmaids had plaid galoshes to wear under their gorgeous purple dresses.  I love it because it adds a little surprise to the photos and the bridesmaids felt comfortable enough to jump of one of the ledges at City Garden here in St. Louis!

Another way to jazz up your photos post-ceremony is to get cute umbrellas to match your colors.  Along with the umbrellas, each of these bridesmaids chose their own galoshes and it totally worked!  It shows their personal style and you can tell they are having fun together.

But wait, galoshes are not just for bridesmaids.  Brides & Grooms, you can rock galoshes too!  In fact I think you should have a pair on hand if there is any chance of rain the weekend of your wedding.  Because if you do, you’ll get an amazing shot like the below.  Now that’s one I would forever love as a reminder of my wedding day.

So all you Winter and Spring brides out there, consider getting umbrellas and/or galoshes for your bridal party.  They are comfortable and you’re sure to get fun pictures out of using them!

Happy Planning!
