Fabulous Wedding Dresses For Winter Brides

 

Planning a winter wedding? Start by finding the perfect wedding dress! This is a look at some of the most fabulous options for winter bridal gowns.

When shopping for a winter wedding dress, there are several things to keep in mind. You will definitely want to find a dress in a wintery material. Forget about those ethereal gauzy gowns which scream "garden party"; those are not right for a winter wedding. Ditto for the organza strapless dress with the daisy motif lace. It is true that a winter bride should steer clear of some more summery materials, but do not fear that you won't have any good options. In the winter, you can indulge in some incredibly luxe fabrics.

Silk satin is a favorite winter wedding gown fabric. The elegance of satin is unsurpassed. The weight of the fabric suits the cold weather well. It is ideal for weddings held in formal locations such as cathedrals or grand ball rooms. Silver embroidery and crystals always look fabulous on a satin gown. Try a satin strapless ballgown with a jeweled belt for a classic and elegant look. Shop for crystal bridal jewelry that plays up the sparkle on the gown. A snow white mink shawl over an opulent bridal gown creates a very luxe effect. A bouquet of rich red roses will complete the look beautifully.

One of the very best things about being a winter bride is that you can wear velvet! There is nothing more wonderful than the soft nap of velvet. A velvet cape is a stunning cover up to wear over your wedding gown. It will make an impressive grand entrance, and looks wonderful in outdoor wedding photos. Or go for the most velvet, in the form of a velvety white bridal gown. Velvet looks wonderful in vintage inspired silhouettes. Large chandelier earrings are a fantastic complement to the richness of the fabric.

For something a little different, look at stylish designer gowns which use tattered strips of tulle or real feathers to create a snowy effect. Picture a bridal gown with a satin or taffeta bodice and a full, fluffy skirt made from layers of feathers or shredded tulle. This would be a stunning choice for the avant garde bride. Think of it as the modern approach to a Winter Wonderland wedding. Can't quite see yourself in a dress covered with feathers? Think about one with a sassy spray of feathers pinned to the waist with a crystal brooch.

Sometimes the right answer for a winter wedding dress is all out glitz. It is like New Year's times ten. For a black tie wedding, consider a fitted dress embellished from top to bottom with paillettes or crystals. You can trim it out with a sash at the waist. Strap on your dancing shoes and a dramatic set of crystal bridal jewelry to complete the look. Your groom's jaw will drop to the ground when you appear at the end of the aisle in your spectacular wedding gown!
