If you’ve got a winter wedding coming up soon, you might be stressing over what look to go for, after all there is no fail safe summer dress alternative! Here are my top five trends or looks for your winter weddings.
Jewel tones- Go for deep plum, burgundy, emerald green, these type of colours are extremely classy. Team with sparkly gold accessories to give the chilly nuptials some sparkle! Keep it classy and save the bright pink for a summer wedding! As a traditionalist I believe a guest should never wear white unless it’s in the theme, white is for the bride! Equally, I would never wear black to a wedding, but if you’re considering wearing black, don’t wear it if the ceremony is in the day.
As it is a winter wedding, you will need to take into account where the nuptials will take place, if it’s outside or you’re moving a lot from place to place, consider layering your outfit so you won’t freeze! I would suggest a Blazer, tux jacket, or a short faux fur jacket. I think Blazers immediately smarten up any outfit so wearing one to a wedding would be perfect, instead of going for black perhaps go for an alternative colour that compliments your outfit. Or if you want to spruce it up even more, try an oversized tux jacket, I think these look great with a mini dress and heels. Back to layering things, black tights are a wardrobe staple, so definitely consider them to keep yourself warm!
Peplum has been around a lot this spring summer, a lot of peplum tops and dresses making the shops. I think they’re very flattering to everyone, so I don’t really think you can go wrong with this look! A lot of the dresses I’ve seen have been longer pencil skirt type dresses, which again suit most body types and would be perfect for a winter wedding.
Take a leaf out of Kate Middleton’s book and go for the shift dress. The Duchess of Cambridge is always so immaculately turned out wherever she goes, but she looks great in a shift which has somehow become her staple look. In the past, Kate has been seen to wear a shift to many weddings, sometimes teaming with a long jacket, complimenting the dress nicely. So if you want to go the whole Kate Middleton Hog, perhaps you should look for a long jacket to accompany your shift. For me the Duchess of Cambridge is always spot on when it comes to wedding chic! So if you need some inspiration, look to her.
Hat’s have always been a wedding staple. Back in the day, I think it used to be who’s hat is the biggest or most outrageous. These days I think it’s more who’s is the most stylish. Looking again to Kate Middleton for inspiration, who is rarely seen without a hat, she has so many stylish hats that compliment her outfits beautifully. But rather than going for a huge hat, Kate tends to go for a smaller but perfectly formed hat. If you don’t fancy donning the hat, there is always the fascinator, made from either a headband or a hairclip, they can show feathers or flowers coloured to coordinate the outfit.
Happy shopping!
