Winter wedding couples are a rare breed, mainly because the season itself isn’t a favorite for many.
The sky is overcast, there’s ice and sleet everywhere and it’s simply too cold to get out of the comfort of one’s bed. However, for those brave of heart and fashionable of soul, the winter season is not a burden, but a challenge they succeed in.
As a wedding photographer Dallas TX with more than five years of experience, I’ve photographed many weddings in all seasons. But winter weddings have been a favorite so far.
So if you’re wondering how you too can be one of those enviable couples who have their weddings in the winter and look good while doing it, here are some tips you need to know!
Winter Wedding Ideas
– Accessorize
The best thing about being a winter bride is the accessories. Accessories like a faux fur coat or a gorgeous hood and cape can add a wonderful touch to your overall look, especially if you’re going for the ethereal look. If your dress is simple, go all the way and wear intricate jewelry, and balance it with something to bundle you up.
– Go for the Winter Wonderland Theme
Winter opens up a lot of possibilities for brides in terms of fashion. Sure, everyone loves those gauzy strapless dresses that summer brings. But if they’re not according to your taste, you can easily swap those for the full-sleeve ballgowns with long trains with lace designs that would not look out of place in a winter wonderland themed event.
– Go Vintage
Winter weddings are perfect for those who want to have a classically antique style wedding. Since your wedding will take place indoors, you have the chance to not only fashion your wedding attire according to that, but also pick a location and theme that matches your needs perfectly.
– Challenge the Winter Colors
If you don’t like the winter wonderland theme, you can always go for the rustic holiday color palette or in fact, any other color theme you want. With the stark winter as your background, you can go all out and choose a color palette or theme that encompasses that particular style you’re going for, whether it’s elegant, cozy or glamorous.
