Winter Wedding Dresses

Winter Wedding Dresses are a must for your Winter Wedding. There are some really great reasons to plan a winter wedding and wearing a fantastic dress for a winter wedding is just one of them!



There are a lot of good reasons to have your wedding in the winter including flexibility in dates, venue and vendors usually offer discounted prices offseason, you'll have a gorgeous snowy backdrop to your wedding and you'll probably have a better guest turnout planning in the winter months rather than the ultra busy summer months.

(...cont'd from above)

There are some things you do have to account for when planning a winter wedding; one of those being your dress.

Depending on where you live, winter weather could either be just a little bit on the cool side or it could be 30 below zero with three feet of snow.

This is going to be the main factor in choosing your winter wedding dress and how much "cover up" you are going to need on your special day.

But you also have to keep in mind that although you might need something warmer outside for transportation and pictures, later on during your indoor wedding reception you might be too hot with the choice you have made.

What you can do is either choose a heavier dress for use during the ceremony and outdoor photography and then change into a lighter dress for the reception.

This could be very expensive; purchasing two wedding dresses for your wedding day.

Another option for you is to purchase a regular wedding dress either with sleeves or you could choose a sleeveless winter wedding dress and then simply add a wedding jacket as a cover up.

Wear the jacket during your times outside and then easily shed it during your wedding reception.

This is usually a much better option for your pocketbook and your budget as well.

If your budget is really stretched, you could always raid your closet or a friend/family member's closet for a suitable sweater or perhaps a faux fur wrap.

You can also use some of the following ideas for winter wedding dresses:
  • If you have access to an elegant white coat, it would look lovely with your wedding dress.
  • collar - these are small fur wraps that just sit on the shoulder.
  • wrap - these are larger pieces of loose fabric, fur, cashmere, etc. to wrap around the shoulders to keep warm on a wonderful wintry day!
  • boleros - a short jacket that could be made either of fur, cashmere, fabric, lace, etc.
  • cloak - these are long draped materials such as organza or velvet that ties at the neck and could come with or without a hood and with or without fur trim
  • shrug - same idea as a collar only a little larger in size. Commonly made from faux fur, velvet, etc.
  • stole - same idea as a wrap but generally longer and made of velvet, faux fur, etc.
  • muff - I love these! A great idea especially for a vintage wedding! These are for keeping your hands warm; when the weather is chilly, simply slip your hands inside. Usually made of faux fur or perhaps velvet.
  • cape - similar to a cloak, but usually shorter. Could be made from velvet, faux fur, etc.
