As a rule, the wedding season is a warm season. But more and more girls prefer winter for their main celebration. This time of year is rich in no less beautiful, magical and slightly dramatic landscapes. But choosing a winter wedding dress is not easy. This is partly due to the fact that brides are much better acquainted with the assortment for the warm season, and shops do not offer such a wide choice. But wedding dresses for a winter wedding can be no less beautiful and comfortable than their "summer" relatives. Read on and we will show examples that will convince you of this.
Experiment with color
The snow-covered landscape will be an excellent background for bright colors. Belts, sleeves or lace appliques of bright dramatic colors - red, blue, emerald, purple - will stand out beautifully on a white background.
Brave brides can even choose a completely scarlet dress. Sewing with golden threads will only add to it fabulousness and celebration. Cold pastel colors - pink, light blue, mint, lavender - produce an equally beautiful, mesmerizing effect and are perfect for a celebration that will happen closer to spring.
And why not try on the image of the Snow Queen? A silver dress is another winter option. It will not be difficult to choose an exquisite crown, thanks to a wide range of head jewelry in bridal shops.
Fabric selection
Unfortunately, you are unlikely to find a woolen wedding dress for sale in winter. Unless you sew it yourself or on request from an experienced seamstress who can make an outfit worthy of such a celebration out of this material.
But do not rush to despair. For example, a thin and light tulle, assembled in several layers to add splendor, will create a rather warm skirt. Under it, you can hide beautiful delicate knitted tights or stockings.
Organza can also be used in several layers, and its elegant shine will only give a feeling of magic and lightness.
From satin fabric with a cold tint, you can create a beautiful silver winter wedding dress. This is a fairly dense material in itself, and in combination with a petticoat and tights, it will definitely warm you.
Velveteen and velvet are less common in wedding fashion, and they are used only for celebrations in winter. Their beautiful, pleasant texture looks rich and at the same time cozy. They go well with fur accents - the hem of the sleeves or collar.
But do not overdo it with "warmth." Indeed, in the room you will move, dance, and several layers of fabric can also cause discomfort. Therefore, it is better to make the image layered and, if necessary, remove / put on the necessary elements.
Seasonal cut features
Winter requires attention to details that do not play a role in the warm season. For example, about a long loop, you should think carefully. He always looks like a king, and even more so he will look gorgeous in the snow, but after a photo shoot on the street he will not only get dirty, but also get wet.
Dresses that are up to the middle of the calf or knee-length will save you from having to touch the snow with skirts and protect them from moisture, but you will need to pay special attention to boots and tights so as not to freeze.
High collars will adorn winter wedding dresses. The photo of the outfit with fur trim, presented below, will clearly demonstrate its beauty.
Another detail deserves attention. Winter wedding dresses with sleeves are very common models, because they not only look chaste and elegant, but protect the bride’s hands from the cold.
But this does not mean that you have to abandon outfits with bare shoulders. You can stop at a dress without sleeves and strapless, in which you will shine at the ceremony itself, and for the informal part, complement it with a beautiful lace bolero. For a walk, of course, you need a warm top.
The cold season is perfect for luxurious, richly decorated outfits, because you do not risk sweating, wearing all this splendor. You can safely choose models decorated with rhinestones, sequins and pearls.
What are winter wedding dresses?
Photos from weddings that took place in the cold season prove that any style of outfit can look advantageous if you correctly approach the selection of fabrics and accessories. Here are the types of winter dresses.
The mermaid is a beautiful and seductive design that tightly fits the figure to the middle of the thigh or to the knees, and then expands sharply, turning into a fluffy skirt.
Ball gown - this style is very popular. The fitted top at the waist goes into a large fluffy skirt. This is how many winter wedding dresses are made. A photo of this beautiful image of a bride with warm accessories will show how successful this style can be.
The A-shaped silhouette is similar to the previous one, but the skirt in it is not so magnificent, so the silhouette is more smooth.
A straight dress is an ideal option for brides who do not want to tinker with bulky structures from rings and petticoats. It elegantly flows along the figure, visually lengthening the silhouette.
A dress with a high waist or in the Empire style is an excellent choice for brides who want to hide imperfect shapes and draw attention to the beautiful neckline. For the same reasons, many winter maternity wedding dresses are sewn this way. You can see photos of the bride in this outfit below.
Essential Accessories
Like it or not, even a winter wedding dress will not be able to completely protect against frost, especially the upper part of the body. A bride trembling from the cold, or a cold at the beginning of a married life is unlikely to decorate your memories. Therefore, you will need warm outerwear. Her role can be performed by:
- a long white coat of cashmere;
- fur cape ;
- short fur coat (it doesn’t have to be white, cozy natural colors look no worse);
- dense warm shawl;
- bright coat in contrasting color;
- down scarf;
- a floor-length cape with a hood;
- a warm knitted cardigan, but in order to earn a place next to a wedding dress, it must be a beautiful elegant style and a knitting workshop.
To prevent your palms from freezing, pick up gloves. Depending on what your outerwear is, you can choose different lengths - regular or elbow. Cozy mittens can also fit into your outfit.
Well, do not forget about removable shoes - beautiful shoes for registration and comfortable boots for walking and photo shoots.
To summarize
The choice of a wedding dress is always a difficult, but very responsible and fascinating task, especially if the outfit must combine beauty and comfort. But with due attention to detail, a winter wedding dress can look just magical. The main thing - do not limit your imagination to the usual framework and try to get the most out of the process of choosing and anticipating your triumph.
