Brandon went for a different tie color then his groomsmen. Mariah chose beautiful burgundy dresses for her bride squad and shawls to match. Many bridal parties want a spaghetti strap or sleeveless look which is perfect for when you’re breaking a sweat on the dance floor but not for a cool day. That’s why shawls are great option! The bride is wearing a customized jean jacket to stand out from the rest.
