Winter weddings have a special charm: they are elegant, intimate, and allow you to play with textures and styles that are not possible in summer. However, choosing the ideal winter wedding guest dress poses unique challenges. How to dress elegantly without getting cold? What colors and fabrics are trending?
At our online store Buganco, we have prepared a complete guide with the best tips so you can be the most chic and warm guest of the season. Forget about sacrificing style for comfort!
Fabrics: The Key to Winter Wedding Guest Dresses
The first and most important tip for your winter guest look is to choose the right material. Fabrics not only provide warmth but also add sophistication and body to the garment.
Luxury and Warmth: Velvet and Tweed
Velvet: The star fabric of the season. A velvet dress for a winter wedding is synonymous with luxury and elegance. Furthermore, it is a warm material that insulates you from the cold without the need for big layers.
Tweed or Cool Wool: Ideal for trouser suits or two-piece sets. It provides a formal structure and is perfect for daytime weddings.
Drape and Coverage: Crepe and Brocades
Crepe: If you are looking for a long dress with a good drape, opt for thicker silks or crepe. These materials move elegantly and offer more protection than light summer fabrics.
Brocades or Jacquard: Woven prints are perfect for an evening guest dress, as their thickness helps maintain temperature.
Colors and Prints for Winter Wedding Guests
Move away from pastel shades and welcome the winter palette. Winter wedding guest dresses are dressed in deep, saturated colors.
Prioritize colors that evoke luxury and stand out most in the season. Think of Burgundy, Bottle Green, Navy Blue, and Dark Purple. These colors are perfect for a winter wedding guest look, especially for afternoon or evening events, adding a touch of solemnity. If you are looking for dark and sophisticated party dresses, these shades are the most suitable choice.
If you prefer something in neutral tones for winter, Black is always elegant, but use it with caution and check if the wedding's dress code allows it. Other neutral and very chic options are Charcoal Grey and Toasted/Tan.
For prints, choose subtle jacquards, whose effect is much more wintry. If you want some light, avoid pure white and opt for adding gold or silver accessories that bring clarity to your winter wedding guest look. Remember that the key to an elegant winter wedding dress is that the color complements the richness of the fabric.
The Final Touch: Essential Coats and Accessories
One of the biggest doubts when complementing winter wedding guest dresses is the coats. Here are some tips on how to choose a good garment that provides warmth during the winter without taking the spotlight from your winter wedding guest dress:
Capes and Stoles: Forget the thin scarf or gauze shawl. Invest in a wool cape, a velvet cape, or a fur stole that covers your shoulders and back.
Kaftans and Long Coats: To provide warmth and length to your winter guest look, you can choose a long velvet kaftan or a long, straight robe-style coat with a fur collar.
Jacket/Blazer: If you opt for a jumpsuit or a midi dress, a velvet blazer or a three-quarter oversize coat are very modern options.
Tights: A must! If you are wearing a short or midi dress, sheer tights (or opaque ones if the look allows it) are your best allies against the cold.
