Author Editor - 3 minute read
Winter weddings are magical, but dressing for them can be a little tricky. From floral dresses to playful jumpsuits, there are plenty of options to keep you looking chic and festive without freezing during the celebrations. Whether you’re after something classic, bold or totally unique, this guide is here to help you nail that winter wedding look. So, what to wear to a winter wedding? Let’s dive into our top picks that blend style, comfort and a little cold-weather drama…
 
 

FLORAL DRESSES



Who says that florals can only be ground-breaking in spring? Winter weddings are the perfect opportunity to reach for a floral dress in rich, deep hues. Think jewel-toned patterns like burgundy, forest green and navy to perfect the mix of femininity and winter romance. The floral dress is a timeless classic, giving you that graceful, effortless look – with a winter twist.
 
 
 

BLACK DRESSES



If you’re struggling with what to wear to a winter wedding, you can never go wrong with the iconic black dress. Effortlessly chic and versatile, an LBD makes for the perfect winter wedding guest outfit. Elevate your frock with luxurious fabrics like velvet or sequins for extra festive flair, whilst pairing with bold accessories to take you from ceremony to dancefloor.
 
 
 

SATIN DRESS



For those looking to make a statement, a satin dress is a essential winter wedding guest dress. With its sleek, smooth finish and fluid silhouette, satin brings an irresistible touch of elegance, perfectly suited to the occasion. Satin dresses are ideal for evening receptions – just be sure to layer with a chic coat or cardigan for when you’re outside.
 
 

PRINTED DRESS



Want to stand out from the crowd? A printed dress is a fun and bold choice for winter wedding attire. Whether its lively animal print, a uniquely whimsical pattern or playful polka dots, these prints allow you to express your personality whilst staying on-trend. Animal prints in darker tones can be both wild and winter-appropriate, whilst whimsical designs add a dash of charm. Throw on some tights, boots and a sleek jacket to complete the look.
 
 

MIDI DRESS



When you’re unsure if a mini dress is too short or a maxi dress too formal, the midi dress swoops in to save the day. Midi length dresses strike the perfect balance between casual and formal, making them an ideal option for winter weddings. Opt for long sleeve versions to stay warm without compromising on style.
 
 

JUMPSUIT



Who says you have to wear a dress to a winter wedding? A jumpsuit is a stylish alternative that brings comfort and modern edge to the table. Go for a sleek, tailored jumpsuit in darker colours, such as black, navy or burgundy, for a polished look mastering the winter wedding dress code. Add a metallic belt or statement earrings to elevate the outfit. The beauty of jumpsuits is that they keep you warm whilst allowing you to move freely, making them a dream choice for weddings with a lively dancefloor.
 
 

ACCESSORIES



Accessories can make or break your winter wedding guest outfit, so choose wisely. Statement jewellery, such as bold earrings or layered necklaces will add a touch of modern glamour to any ensemble, whilst opaque or patterned tights are both a functional and fashionable way to keep warm whilst showing off your legs. For shoes, opt for something practical yet stylish, from heeled boots to closed toe pumps, to keep you comfortable from ‘I do’ to the last dance. Last, but certainly not least, don’t forget your outerwear for both the commutes and any outdoor celebrations. Faux fur coats can top off your look with an opulent flair, whilst herringbone or felt coats take a more understatedly sophisticated stance.
 
 
Dressing for a winter wedding doesn’t need to be complicated. With the right mix of festive fabrics, bold prints and cosy accessories, you can create a look that’s both stylish and weather-appropriate. Whether you’re swaying in satin, twirling in florals or making a statement in a one-piece-wonder jumpsuit, you’ll be turning heads at the winter wedding. So go ahead, embrace the season, and let your outfit shine as brightly as the love in the air!
