Winter Wedding Dresses to Look Spectacular

Sophisticated thick fabrics with unique embellishment for every bride!

Winter is a less popular time to wed; traditionally the wedding season starts in April and lasts till the late autumn. But every modern bride knows that in a high-quality dress and with a beloved one by your side, a winter wedding may become a true magic. Winter wedding dresses allow freedom of choice: thick and warm fabrics, high-neck dresses for a romantic and elegant bridal look. 

Guide to Choosing a Winter Wedding Dress

For a bride to feel spectacular and enjoy the celebration, a dress should meet the following criteria:

• No slits. Mini-dresses, tea-length gowns, or hip-high slits aren’t suitable for cold weather. A maxi skirt will be an elegant and warm option; and an ankle-length gown without a train will be great for snowy weather. 
  
  
• High-neckline. Straps and a plunging neckline can be uncomfortable even if a bride wears a fur jacket. Closed shoulders and bust is the best choice. Also, you may consider a cutout wedding dress and put a fur coat on when outside.
  
  
• Thick fabrics. A light and sheer chiffon is not suitable for a winter wedding. Thick fabrics or a multilayered skirt, as well as jacquard silk or satin gowns are perfect options.

Designers offer collections for winter wedding ceremonies that take into account density of fabric, peculiarities of a silhouette for cold weather, and even have coats or bolero to complement the look. Dresses from thick materials are great with opera gloves, which you may wear for a photoshoot.

Fabrics for Winter Wedding Dresses

Thickness of a dress plays a crucial role. Light fabrics are breathable and look strange with closed shoes and fur cover up. Top best fabrics for the cold season are the following:

• brocade;
• jacquard;
• velvet;
• satin.

A two-layered dress with a thick underlay and silk, lace, or sateen above it is a good choice. Satin creates royal and elegant looks, as well as minimalist dress styles for gowns with drapery. A-line dresses from  this fabric are eye-catching and sophisticated. Embellishment, crystals, or applique may emphasize the glossy top surface.

Lace may be used as a top layer on sleeves or skirt. The following types of lace can be used for a winter wedding gown due to their thickness:

• Richelieu lace;
• Irish lace;
• bobbin lace.

A neckline, back, sleeves, and skirt may be embellished with lace. Designers often use floral and geometric patterns and ethnic motifs in their winter collections.

Trendy Colors for Winter Wedding Dresses

A thick satin, velvet, or brocade underlayer is perfectly complemented by thin lace. The significant thing is that either underlayer or lace should be thick in other case, a dress may not suit the season.

An underlayer color may be as follows: 

• white – a perfect dress for a winter wedding, especially if you are going to have a photoshoot in a snow-covered terrain;
• ivory – accentuates white lace and is a great option for blonde girls;
• cappuccino – is usually combined with a lace of the lighter shade to create a tender look.

The color of the dress should suit the coverup, otherwise the entire ensemble will look unbalanced.
