Winter is a beautiful time for a wedding. However, the weather and temperatures can be unpredictable – especially when you are planning months in advance. Keeping warm and comfortable is key. (Is there anything worse than being cold? Smiling for the camera sure is harder when you feel like you’re covered in goosebumps). So, how can you stay warm at your winter wedding?
Wedding dresses (for the bride and her ladies) usually seem to be made for a day that’s not warm and sunny, (lighter fabrics and strapless dresses are still common). So, if you’re expecting a bit of a chill on your big day, here are seven ideas to help you all stay warm and comfortable.
1. Pretty Pashmina Wraps
Worn loosely or wrapped more tightly, this is an elegant option to keep the chill at bay. Choose your wedding colors, or colors that will beautifully coordinate and accent your ladies dresses.
2. Faux Fur Jackets or Stoles
Chic and elegant. Perfect to wear for an outdoor ceremony. And you and your ladies have the option to take them off indoors so you don’t get overheated.
3. Non-Traditional Jackets
Let your wedding personality and style show! And these will definitely be worn again (many times) after the wedding too.
4. Pants
Keep your legs warm, and look great while wearing a dressy pair of pants or pant suit/ jumpsuit. This look is definitely less traditional than a dress, but can be just as elegant.
5. Cardigans and Sweaters
Stay warm at your winter wedding by choosing a simple sweater or cardigan. Pick one matching or contrasting colors, or go for more drama with ones with some pretty embroidery or appliques.
6. Accessories – Scarves and Mittens
You’re keeping your toes warm in a pair of pretty boots. Don’t forget your fingers! You can wear white/ivory to match your wedding dress, or coordinate with your wedding color scheme. (Perhaps this can be your “Something Blue”)?
7. Boots
What easier way to stay warm at your winter wedding, (not to mention staying dry and stylish), in a pretty pair of boots? You can choose a pair to wear for the entire day, or just to wear when outdoors, then change into a pair of shoes once you all are inside.
Hearts, Joy, Love!
