Winter Wedding Dresses-- Winter Wedding Dresses -- Though summer may be the most popular time to get married, awinter wedding is a wonderful way to celebrate your nuptials as well! The snow falling...the warm glow of a fireplace – and a wonderful day filled with family and friends! What a romantic way to spend your wedding! Choosing your winter wedding dress is one of the most exhilarating and special shopping trips you will ever embark on – so grab a friend (or a mom!) and start trying on! Top Tip!Before you buy anything online, be sure to check out the winter wedding dresses being offered on eBay. You can often find new or lightly used dresses at a fraction of what they cost in stores:Snowy AccessoriesWinter offers brides lots of opportunity to accessorize! Start with the gloves: you’ll need them as you travel from one venue to another. Look for a set that matches your wedding theme by color or style – elbow length white gloves are stunning! You’ll need something to keep warm when you step outside, so consider a cape or a coat. A cape made of wool or cashmere is perfect. It will drape dramatically over your dress, and you won’t need to worry about slipping into a fitted coat. A faux fur cape is also a beautiful option – choose one with a hood for an extra flare. Capes can also be outfitted to match your color scheme. Consider choosing one with a dramatic red or burgundy lining. A winter coat can also do the trick perfectly, and the length should be chosen to match your dress. A short coat will offer warmth without compromising the delicate nature of your gown – or hiding beautiful embroidery! A long coat will protect and keep your warm from head to toe. It is important to take into consideration your itinerary when selecting your winter apparel – if a long walk is in the cards you may wish to choose a heavier coat, but if you’ll simply be popping from the car to the reception, it may be more for show. Accessorize your cape or coat with a stunning brooch or jewel. Be sure to take some photos in your outdoor attire! A Warm Winter DressFor your romantic winter wedding, you’ll want to choose a relatively warm dress, preferably made of satin, crushed velvet, or rich brocade. Winter weddings are perfect for the luxurious bride who dreams of rich fabrics, dramatic colors, and heavy details. Without the worry of getting too hot, you can wear heavy satin - and a full skirt. Ornate dresses find a perfect home at the winter wedding. Not only will this lavish dress keep you warm outside, but your dress will be stunning inside by the light of candles or a fireplace. Long sleeves are a classic look for the winter wedding gown, and offer an elegant touch of class to any ensemble. Look for sleeves that don’t fit too snug – comfort is important above all else. Winter Wedding ColorsThere’s nothing more stunning than a beautiful winter bride standing against a backdrop of dazzling white snow. Make your wedding dress really pop by adding a bit of color. You’re not limited to the classic holiday red! Indulge in dark colors and jewel tones in greens, purples, burgundies, and deep blues. Or, head in the opposite direction and dress up your gown with pale pastels, like icy blue and pale violet. For a modern twist, add accents of silver or gold. Wintery BeautyChoosing to celebrate your nuptials during the winter months can be an unexpected twist and a theme in and of itself. Be sure to capture the elements of the day by taking at least some of your photos outside. Winter can be a romantic time to snuggle up to the man you love and say "I do" – in the dress of your dreams, of course! -- Winter Wedding Dresses --
