Winter Wedding Gowns

If a cozy winter wedding is on your wish list, you can plan a grandeur look for yourself. Be aware of the fact however, that a cold season wedding leaves you with lesser options than those in other seasons. Here are some practical tips for choosing memorable winter attire:

What not to wear
While opting for style, it is very important to give due consideration to comfort. You cannot be shivering and carrying that elegant gait at the same time. Therefore, you cannot choose to wear something that does not let your attention get away from it. Light fabrics, uncovered shoulders, and open footwear are not good choices for such an occasion.

Choice of fabric
Winter wedding gowns are usually stitched in heavy fabrics, such as heavy satin, brocade, velvet, and Dutch satin, which add a luxurious touché as well as warmth.

Style
Owing to their heavy fabric, winter wedding dresses call for designs that are more elaborate. A 'fuller ball gown' and 'A-lines' are good choices from the point of view of warmth as well as fabrics. Flowing and larger stitches are more suitable if heavy dress material is being used. In the case of winter wedding dresses, not many options for necklines and shoulder cuts are available, at least in the case of readymade picks. Common styles are quarter to full-length sleeves with plain or puffed designs and full neck, portrait neck, or off-shoulder necklines. However, if you are getting your outfit stitched, you can have greater choice available.

Unconventional designs
Not everyone is pleased to settle with traditional alternatives. For instance, strapless gowns, being in vogue these days, you can choose to have one for your winter wedding. All you need to do is top it up with warm fur cloak, or faux-fur wrap in whites, tinges, or even deep colors like burgundy, plum, and navy. You can also choose other fabric than the heavier types, which will leave you room for experimenting with various other styles. If you choose a lighter material or a sleeker look, you can use cashmere cape, full-length bridal coat in wool, fur, or crushed velvet. If you do not wish to cover that majestic fall of your wedding gown, you can opt for short jackets that fit the bodice.

Accessories
Since most of the winter wedding dresses are fuller in design, a long veil is a part of such winter wedding attire. Sparkling jewelry, red rose bouquet, and laced bridal boots complete that fairy-like look of yours.

Do some advanced research and choose your final wedding dress after consultation with your friends & family and experts. After all, its your special day and you would not like to miss on anything!
