I would love to find bridesmaids' dresses in the fabulous gray color featured on my inspiration board. However, as a person who can be found in a black t-shirt 75% of the time, I would also love to have my bridesmaids decked out in black. {I believe} a black dress is one of the only type of bridesmaid's dress that will be worn again with some frequency. Who doesn't love a little black dress? For a winter wedding, the Super 120s suiting dress from J.Crew just might be ticket. I have always pined for a piece of the J.Crew suiting collection and this three-quarter sleeve number is fantastic.

Oh, I just love this dress! It is so fantastic. I have been obsessing over it since it was first displayed in their catalog!

I just got married in December and was a "reluctant winter bride" as well, but it ended up being beautiful. My bridesmaids wore long black dresses and they carried red bouquets wrapped in tartan plaid ribbon. I swear it was lovely. :)

Sharp Lily – Now that's a red I could like! I saw plaid skirts as bridesmaids dresses in a magazine and it looked so classic. Reminds me of Charlotte's first wedding on Sex and the City. I always loved how Carrie wore a bit of the tartan pinned to her dress.

this dress comes in a charcoal. so cute and then you could still keep the grey, if your guys are in grey too that would look so chic but if the guys are in black put the girls in the black. i love this dress, do it!
