How To Style A Warm Bridal Look For Winter
Winter, a time of low temperatures and the occasional downpour of rain and snow. If you’re having a winter wedding, you might think you have to sacrifice your dream gown for warmth. Ladies, we are here with the good news that that doesn’t have to be the case! Puffer coats, rain boots, and bulky layers aren’t your only choices. You can have the perfect gown, layer in style, and still be warm. If you’re looking for some winter-appropriate additions to your bridal ensemble, we’ve listed six options below!
Moto Jacket
If you want to give your wedding look a bit of a rock ‘n’ roll edge, pair your wedding gown with a moto jacket. You can opt for an all-white moto jacket to match your gown, or you can go for more striking colors like classic black or pastel hues. For an additional cool-girl factor having the word “bride” or “Mrs” painted onto your jacket can also add a personal touch that you can use as a prop in some of your wedding photos.

Scarf
Not all winter weddings take place in a location that has borderline freezing temperatures. Some warmer locations may avoid the major weather issues, but are still prone to a few strong winds. In this case, a nice wool scarf that you can drape across your shoulders would work perfectly. Whether you go for a patterned print or a simple color, you can use a scarf that you pull straight from your everyday wardrobe.

Satin Jacket or Coat
That comfortable satin robe you wore to get ready for your big day? Why not add an upgraded version of that to your wedding ensemble. Whether it’s a cropped jacket or floor-length coat, it can complement almost any gown style from tea-length to mermaid. You can even personalize a satin jacket as well with your initials or “just married.”

Faux Fur Shawl
If your body temperature tends to run cold in the winter, no matter what environment you’re in, a faux fur shawl is the way to go. Not only is it an elegant addition to your ensemble, but the weight and texture of the fur will keep your arms warm at any temperature. If you want a more creative take on the classic faux fur shawl, you can opt for a feather shawl or shrug.

Tailored Blazer
For our chic brides, a tailored blazer could be a timeless addition to your wedding ensemble. A perfect pairing for a jumpsuit or bodycon gown, a tailored blazer in any color will dress up your look and keep you warm. You can choose to wear it as normal or drape it over your shoulders for a more effortless appearance.

Bridal Hood
Similar to the capes and capelets that are worn by many brides, a bridal hood was made for the winter bride. Not only can it keep you warm, but it will protect your hair and gown from the harshness of the weather, from snow to light wind. You can make it as simple or extravagant as you want by adding anything from delicate lace to a faux fur trim.
