If you’re planning a chilly winter wedding, then it’s crucial you pick a bridal look that not only complements the environment but keeps you warm! Luckily, there are an endless variety of breathtaking bridal accessories and gowns that pair perfectly together to prepare you for winter nuptials. For today’s blog, we’re going to talk about what to look for in the perfect wedding dress and how to style it for maximum comfort and style on your wedding day.
Silhouettes
Obviously you should pick any silhouette you truly love; however, a-line wedding dresses and ball gowns really lend themselves to a winter wedding. They typically feature more structured fabrics and have the ability to be layered, providing elegance and warmth simultaneously. If you’re considering a fit and flare wedding dress, go for a style that’s made of heavier fabric like crepe or satin. It really depends on the combination of design elements that can help make different silhouettes work for a winter wedding.

Fabrics
Wedding dresses made of heavier, naturally insulating fabrics like satin, mikado, brocade, or velvet are perfect for keeping warm on a wintry wedding day. You’ll also benefit from a bridal gown that has built in details like beadwork and lace that adds warmth and looks intentional. Avoid anything too breezy like chiffon or tulle that could make it hard to stay warm, especially for an outdoor wedding.

Dress Features
Of course, long sleeve wedding dresses are a no-brainer for a winter wedding. This will provide extra warmth and another layer of style, which is a win-win situation! High neckline wedding dresses are also a great choice for staying warm and sophisticated.

Bridal gown features like detachable overskirts or capes are an excellent choice for winter weddings because they add drama, warmth, and coverage. This also offers the versatility of a two in one bridal look - wear the overskirt or cape during the ceremony and then remove it for dancing at your reception.

Gloves are another great option for styling a winter wedding dress, especially if you’ve fallen in love with a style that’s strapless or perhaps don’t need a fully insulated look. Plus, they add a touch of vintage romance and elegance to your look that’s just breathtaking.
