Winter Wedding Dresses

A winter wedding dress is often characterized by sleeves and heavier fabrics. Long-sleeved wedding dresses, as well as lace gowns, are often very popular for a winter wedding. Fuller silhouettes like a ballgown or A-line wedding dress are also great for a winter wedding.

Winter wedding dresses are available year-round! Because it takes up to four months for a wedding dress to come in once it has been ordered, wedding dress stores will often carry styles for winter wedding dresses throughout the year, so you don’t need to wait until colder weather to shop for a wedding gown.

You can buy winter wedding dresses at any wedding dress retailer! Most bridal shops will carry a variety of silhouettes and fabrics in store year-round. If you live in a warmer climate, be sure to call ahead of your appointment and specify you are looking for a winter wedding dress so your bridal consultant is aware of your expectations and wants. .

First things first, even though it’s the best if you don’t want to save this task for last. Once you decide on a gown, you’ll need six to eight months to have it wedding day-ready. Alterations can take up to eight weeks, so if you’re a picky shopper or are wanting a custom gown, you’ll need to build that into your timeline.

Your undergarments for a winter wedding dress should be nude and not visible. You will want to wear a strapless bra and possibly some shapewear.
