Various Styles of Winter Wedding Dresses
When it comes to winter wedding dresses, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to what bridal style you should choose. Love Spell Design offers different styles of winter wedding dresses to allow every bride to find the gown she’s been searching for.
A bridal gown with long sleeves is among the most popular choices for cool-weather weddings. Long sleeves provide warmth while creating a refined look. High necklines and bateau necks are also common, as they add extra coverage.
Speaking of the silhouette, winter ball gowns and A-line dresses in tulle, satin, and mikado hold their shape well, feeling luxurious and season-appropriate.
Simple winter wedding dresses like sheath and column gowns are a go-to option for civil ceremonies and intimate celebrations. They are also an ideal choice if you’re going to wear an outer layer.
Speaking of the silhouette, winter ball gowns and A-line dresses in tulle, satin, and mikado hold their shape well, feeling luxurious and season-appropriate.
Convertible styles are another practical option for a winter wedding. A winter wedding dress paired with removable sleeves, overskirt, cape, or bolero allows the bride to adapt her look throughout the big day, staying warm during the ceremony and lighter for the reception.
Fabrics for Wedding Dresses
A winter wedding dress is usually one in a heavier fabric that can hold warmth.
-
- Satin. Known for its smooth surface and subtle sheen, satin drapes beautifully and is commonly used for winter bridal gowns, both traditional and with a modern twist.
- Mikado. Mikado holds its shape well and is often chosen for architectural silhouettes.
- Layered tulle. Layered tulle skirts are well-suited to winter bridal dresses as multiple layers provide warmth while keeping the gown comfortable and easy to move in.
- Crepe. With a soft, slightly textured surface and a fluid drape, crepe is often used for sheath or column dresses.
- Lace. Lace is often used on bodices, long fitted sleeves, and trains, adding texture and detail to the winter wedding dress.
How to Style Winter Wedding Gowns
At Love Spell, we also offer sleeves or detachable sleeves for extra warmth. Beyond providing warmth and comfort during the cooler season, detachable sleeves let brides easily change their look throughout the day.
In terms of footwear, closed-toe shoes and bridal boots in satin, velvet, or leather work best for winter weddings.
When styling jewellery, it’s best to keep proportions balanced, particularly if the wedding gown already features rich textures or layered fabrics. Statement earrings, delicate headpieces, and gloves are often used with a winter bridal dress.
FAQ & Further Information
Ideally, a winter wedding dress should be purchased 8 to 10 months before the wedding day. This way, you’ll have enough time for ordering, fittings, and any alterations. This also gives you time to plan additional layers or detachable sleeves and to test how they work with the dress during fittings. In addition, buying early ensures better availability and reduces the risk of delays, meaning you have more choice and less stress.
Of course, many bridal shops offer ready-to-wear or sample gowns that can be altered more quickly. However, options are usually limited in terms of size and customisation.
The current trends in winter wedding dresses are truly versatile, so each bride can pick the perfect wedding dress that is both stylish and season-appropriate.
Lace continues to dominate bridal fashion, appearing as full-lace gowns and sheer lace accents. Sheer panels, illusion necklines, three-dimensional appliqués, beading, and subtle sparkle are also on trend.
Last but not least, practical winter features, such as long sleeves and higher necklines, stay relevant season after season. Also, pay attention to dresses with removable elements, such as capes, overskirts, sleeves, or trains, which allow brides to shift their look from ceremony to reception or adapt to changing weather.
