Finding the perfect dress for a winter-season wedding may seem daunting for brides. Winter wedding dresses can be just as beautiful, elegant, and even sexy as those worn during any other season— especially when styled with cold-weather accessories, like a fur stole and elbow-length gloves.
While longer sleeves and a high neckline make an obvious choice, there are plenty of ways to stay warm on your big day. Many winter brides select heavier fabrics, such as wool, satin, or velvet, to help their bridal look feel seasonally appropriate. For added warmth, wear a pair of tights and closed-toe shoes under your wedding gown. Accessorizing intentionally is key to staying cozy in style.
Below, we've highlighted trending winter wedding gowns that are ideal for a mid-winter wedding and can represent the spirit of winter weddings. No matter what bridal aesthetic you're going for, we've got something to keep you stylish and comfortable from ceremony to send-off.
