Winter weddings fill us with all sorts of fuzzy feelings, but one thing that makes us a little less festive is worrying about what to wear to one! Happily the cosy look is IN at the moment, and with gorge heavy fabrics like brocade and wool a major feature in all things fashionable this season, you don’t have to choose between being super stylish or super warm.
Winter Wedding Guest – What to Wear
Winter wedding guests are advised to ditch the pretty pastels and go full on glamour this year. Opt for a dress with a bit of sparkle and make black tights your best friend. Dark jewel tones are a gorgeous way to get away from black if you’re looking for a bit of colour – think emerald, maroon, and navy blue – or go vintage with metallic or gold. If you’re not the ‘bit of sparkle’ type, don’t worry – there are plenty of divine minimal feel dresses on the market at the moment that you can dress up with some statement jewellery or heels. When it comes to cover ups you’re spoiled for choice – a no fuss long or midi winter coat in grey, black or camel will go over any dress, just pop a faux fur collar on and you’re ready to roll. Beauty wise you can’t go wrong with a dark jewel tone nail polish or by vamping it up with some berry lippy. Below are 6 very different wedding guest dresses we’ve styled with some gorge accessories to get you on the best dressed list at your winter wedding!
