Winter weddings are considered to be off – season since there are not too many brides willing to face blizzards just for getting married in a fairy tale natural décor. However, a bride will look really special in winter, even though this will mean she has to be a little more covered than usual. As much as she will be excited, it will not be enough to keep her warm. What should a woman know about winter wedding dresses?
A wedding dress
Wedding dresses are generally more delicate and simple in comparison with the luxurious gowns. Regardless if the wedding is held in December, the bride could easily have a summer wedding dress, sleeveless or strapless, but to cover herself with other elegant accessories. A shrug or a shawl are good choices, but she will look even more elegant with a velvet wrap, a white natural or faux fur or even a hooded cape. If the dress is white, imagine how gorgeous will look a colorful accent, such as a red or a green cape. For a Christmas wedding theme, red and green are a beautiful contrast. And a hood will make a bigger visual effect instead of the headpiece or veil that we are used to.
Gowns
Gowns are probably more adequate because they cover the bride a lot more. With long sleeves, full length, eventually with some floss on the neckline, on the hem or on the sleeves. Richer fabrics such as velvet, velour or brocade will be more than welcome. Even a gown made of thick satin could be perfect. Nevertheless, because gowns have a lot more volume, and because of the thicker fabric, a long train could make you feel uncomfortable, so pay attention to this aspect.
Accessories
Can you guess what has been missing from the landscape? A pair of long and warm gloves. For a winter wedding, they should be on top of the list. If you need some extra coverage while you are travelling between the locations, consider a cape. It will allow your sleeves to fit in it without problems and the hood will be large enough to protect your head and still keep the hairdo at place. A pair of delicate boots could also find their place in your feet. It looks like you have got everything you need in order to face the winter on the biggest day of your life.
