How To Choose A Winter Wedding Gown

Layer up

One of the easiest ways to keep warm during the cold months is to add extra layers. The same goes for weddings too. Layering is a good way to wear your dream dress without being subjected to the cold temperature. Having a dress with thick bodice will be able to keep your torso warm. A fuller skirt with layers is also ideal for winter wedding. 

Choose The Right Fabric

Heavier fabric dress is what you need in the winter months. Consider choosing wedding dress that is made with silk, lace, velvet, woven fabric and brocade. These fabrics not only are elegant, they drape well and will keep you comfortable in the frosty air.

Wedding Dresses With Sleeves

While sleeveless dresses look amazing, you may find yourself shivering in the cold. A wedding dress with three-quarter sleeves or long sleeves is an ideal choice. Wedding dresses with sleeves have been trending over the last few years. Besides adding a touch of elegance to your dress, having sleeves will give you an extra layer of protection.

Fuller Wedding Dresses

A larger wedding dress not only make you look and feel like a princess on your wedding day, but having the extra layers of tulle or taffeta is a great way to help you stay warm.  Ball gown and full skirt wedding dresses add sophistication and drama to your look while also allow you to put on some leggings or hose to keep your legs warm. 

If you are not into ballgown with layers of tulle or organza, perhaps you can choose a figure-hugging wedding dress that is made of heavier material.

High Neckline

If you prefer a winter wedding dress that does not have too much fabric, then perhaps a high neck wedding dress can help you to stay warm. This extra coverage can make quite a big difference in keeping you warm because the neck and chest areas are one of the most sensitive parts of our body and they are susceptible to cold. Therefore, covering these areas will go a long way. 

If a high neckline is not your cup of tea, you can still go for an off-the-shoulder or V-neckline wedding dress for a dose of glamour. You can always drape your shoulder and over your neck with scarves or wear a bolero. Only remove this during photo-taking session. 

Choose A Second Dress

If you really would like to wear a strapless wedding dress on your nuptial day, you can consider a second wedding dress that is more comfortable and can be worn when you are eating drinking or dancing the night away in style.
