Pozies
From mypozies.com : "Pozies Dress Weights are the tool you've needed all along for windy days. Instead of asking bridesmaids or collecting stones to hold down a wedding dress that won't stay put in gusts of wind, simply place Pozies around the dress to keep it in place.
The magnetic component allows for quick adjustments without having to remove and replace the Pozies. The unique, patent-pending design is safe for all fabrics, easy to clean, and a breeze to edit out in post-processing."
