If you're planning a winter wedding, especially in a colder climate,
you can put together a bridal look that is not only beautiful, but will
keep you comfortable on your most important day.
Your winter wedding dress should probably have long sleeves, and be sure
to include gloves in your ensemble - you can always take them off once
you're indoors. A sleeveless winter wedding dress may call for a sheer
body suit underneath - these can usually be purchased separately and match
your dress.
Luxurious fabrics such as heavy satin and velvet are perfect for winter
wedding dresses.
Winter wedding dresses also offer the chance to be truly dramatic in
romantic, long sleeves of crushed velvet or satin, as the dresses below
illustrate.
To stay warm while you're en route, consider a wool or cashmere cape.
A cape will provide plenty of room and you won't have to worry about fitting
your sleeves into it, as you would a coat. And the drama of a cape can
work to enhance your bridal look.
