There are many different attire avenues to explore when considering a winter wedding. Here’s how to dress your bridesmaids when it’s cold out!<\/p>\n

While most couples simply pretend the weather stops during their wedding, others honour their choice of season through theme and attire based around the chill.<\/p>\n

Colours and textures<\/h2>\n

Couples can opt to pay homage to the cold weather through both colours and textures<\/a>. Below is a list that combines the two – some ideas are based on the colour tones of winter, while others stem from practicality and warmth.<\/p>\n

Burgundy<\/h2>\n

Some weddings opt to keep the dresses relatively summery (no sleeves, as photographed below) – instead choosing to make the winter element the colours used. For example, the couple from the wedding below – Maggie and Richie’s romantic winter wedding – chose a theme that was romantic and whimsical. They paid homage to the colder weather by incorporating touches of burgundy and blush – which are colours that suit everyone, no matter your lack of a tan!\u00a0Also, the fabric appears to be something a little heavier than usual bridesmaid dresses<\/a>, which could mean all the difference against the\u00a0cold.<\/p>\n

Cover up<\/h2>\n

Some couples opt to simply ‘cover up’ against the cold. Shawls and faux-fur wraps can look incredibly elegant against formalwear<\/a>, and can add a romantic feeling to the overall winter theme.<\/p>\n

The couple who’s photo features below chose to dress their bridesmaids in white, while the bride (who traditionally usually wears white) wore blush<\/a>. To shield the ladies from the cold, they wore white faux-fur stoles sourced from a local retailer. The faux-fur coupled with the elegant gowns created a fairytale element, and went perfectly with the overall black tie dress code<\/a>\u00a0for the day.<\/p>\n

Dark\u00a0plum and faux fur<\/h2>\n

Nothing quite says ‘cosy winter’s night’ like faux-fur and dark plum\u00a0tones. The bridesmaids below wore plum floor length gowns, covering up from the cold weather with white faux-fur shalls. The bride wore the\u00a0exact opposite, a white wedding gown with a deep plum faux-fur snug. The different textures make for great wedding photography<\/a>, too!<\/p>\n

Blush<\/h2>\n

Blush seems to be the ‘go-to’ colour for romantic weddings – which is an\u00a0increasingly popular theme among weddings that fall during the winter months. The colour goes perfectly against all backdrops, including ones of a ominous, dark sky. Pair it with deep red roses for that perfect valentine romantic look.<\/p>\n

Navy<\/h2>\n

Dark navy is the perfect colour for a winter wedding. The tone looks elegant with or without a tan, so navy bridesmaid dresses are a safe bet for winter weddings! While the colour blue usually pays homage to the ocean in summer weddings and beachside ceremonies, a darker blue could (maybe?) resemble the ocean on a darker, colder, more windswept day.<\/p>\n
