Winter weddings can be fun and memorable, but finding the right dress can be tricky. If you’re looking for a winter wedding dress with fur, consider these ideas.
Fur is an elegant material that adds texture to any outfit. It can also add warmth in cold weather, which makes it perfect for winter weddings. Whether you prefer real fur or faux fur, there are plenty of styles available to suit your taste and budget.
If you’re having a winter wedding at an indoor location, such as a ballroom or hotel conference center, you’ll need a wedding dress that’s appropriate for indoor wear. Consider a knee-length style with sleeves if you want to stay warm without sacrificing style.
If your outdoor ceremony will take place in colder temperatures (20 degrees Fahrenheit or below), consider adding a wrap or shawl so that you’ll stay warm while exchanging vows on your big day.
When choosing a winter wedding dress with fur, look for one that doesn’t have too much bulk around the neckline; this will help keep you warm during outdoor photos before heading inside for dancing and dinner!
Winter Wedding Dress With Fur
The spring and summer months always seem to be the most popular for a wedding. On the heels of April showers, May flowers instantly garner a romantic mood while summer sun always sets a joyous tone. But not every bride dreams of getting married in on a warm breezy day or balmy evening. Some dream of saying “I do” when there’s a chill in the air, perhaps in a winter wonderland setting outdoors among the snowflakes, with a view of snow-dusted mountains, or an intimate gathering inside with a swanky holiday theme. For such an occasion, a winter wedding dress is essential, of course. So, we’ve scouted some of our favorites from beautiful budget buys to ultra-dreamy designs.
Not all winter wedding dresses are created equal. It largely depends on the style of your wedding, the venue, and your bridal taste. A long-sleeve crepe gown with a high neck or open back is spectacular if you’re the type to keep things classic and, possibly, minimal. For more traditional tastes, lace is always stunning, as are tulle layers and intricate beadwork. For bohemian sensibilities, tiers of ruffles, crochet lace, and elegant embroidery are divine details, particularly with wispy fabrics as part of the equation. For a more casual and intimate winter wedding, a retro-inspired design like a tea-length dress is simply chic, while ultra-luxe details like metallic fabrics, rhinestones, and feathers are just right for a holiday-themed evening wedding.
From simple to sophisticated and showstopping, keep scrolling for our edit of winter wedding dresses for every budget and style.
