WINTER WEDDING STYLE TIPS
Winter accessories When holding a wedding in WINTER is debatably the most romantic
and magical time of year. With its frosty mornings and dark evenings, what better time to hold a wedding than during the colder months? And with the promise of recent
snow, a white wedding may even be on the horizons for some exchanging vows this January. Look no further than here, as
below is a handy guide for those organising their special day this season; with everything from coat checks to candlelit centrepieces included, your guests are sure to be impressed as the day unfolds, so get your pens and paper at the ready…
January, it will inevitably be quite cold so accessories can be utilised to keep you warm. A faux fur stole, veil, cape or a simple cardigan are all chic options that will keep you from shivering whilst you walk down the aisle. Or, alternatively, you could opt for a long sleeve wedding dress to protect you from the elements.
Groomsmen in velvet For grooms and groomsmen, a
velvet blazer would be ideal as it’s a nice thick and warm fabric that will not only keep the men warm but also perfectly on-trend.
Beauty prep When it comes to winter, chapped
lips and dry skin are inevitable so be sure to keep your lips moisturised
in the run up to the wedding with a luxurious lip balm. And don’t forget to use a good face moisturiser too. If you’re worried, you could also be extra prepared for that special kiss by keeping a chapstick in your clutch on the day.
Under your dress If the day of your wedding is
predicted to be very cold, you could always wear thick tights under your floor length wedding dress - nobody will know and your bare legs will be protected from the elements! This is a trick your bridesmaids could apply too so the whole wedding party is kept warm.
Winter footwear Boots are a stylish and practical
option for a winter bride's footwear, especially in the rain or snow. Coordinate with your partner or bridesmaids to enhance this style that could really add character to your wedding pictures.
A touch of glitter January marks the end of the
Christmas period and what’s more festive than glitter? Dresses adorned with sequins and glitters are always easy to find come winter and will add a subtle reminder of the festive period to your special day. As your bridesmaids walk down the aisle, they’ll draw the eye with them, leaving a trail of glitter for you to follow.
Keep your bridesmaids warm Don't forget your bridesmaids
will be cold too! Make sure to have bridesmaid cover-ups ready on the day. Faux fur stoles, veils, capes or cardigans could compliment both you and your bridesmaid’s wardrobes to make sure they're looking and feeling their best during the day.
WINTER WEDDING VENUE TIPS
Extra travel time Bad weather often means bad
traffic, so allowing for a little extra time to travel to your ceremony and reception - no matter how near or far you are going - will ensure no mishaps occur. Remember: better to be early than late.
Have just one venue If you host both your ceremony
and reception at the same venue, or venues very near to each other, this will make transport on the day much easier in case of bad weather and will also save your guests having to brave
