Bridal Wedding Dress Ideas for Winter Wedding In Palm Beach, Florida
Winter weddings are always unique, but a winter wedding taking place in Palm Beach, Florida definitely has its perks. Without the freezing (or below freezing) temperatures, attire can be worn without feeling too cold or too hot! The classic winter faux fur shawl can be worn over a bridal gown and keep brides comfortably warm all while being aesthetically winter pleasing.
What are some things to consider when gown shopping for a winter wedding?
The fabric of a gown is one thing to consider when gown shopping. Opting for a heavier fabric over a lighter one keeps you warmer as you enjoy the cooler air during a wedding that is planned for the winter-time.
Another thing to consider when gown shopping is the presence of sleeves! And if you do choose sleeves, there are many different lengths to choose from as well. The classic lace long sleeves are a winter favorite amongst brides. However, the classic winter look of the fur shawl over a sleeveless gown is timeless as well. The upside of having a winter wedding in south Florida is that you can go with either look and still be comfortable!
Which is the best silhouette for a winter wedding?
Some brides prefer a ball gown silhouette for a winter wedding because it includes layers of fabric on the lower half of the gown below the waist, allowing you to feel warm. Some ball gowns have a simple lace bodice while others have more intricate beading with crystals and appliqués for a more glamorous feel. Either choice allows for an elegant and timeless look.
Other brides like to go for a more form-fitting look with the “mermaid” silhouette. These silhouettes can also keep a bride warm during a winter wedding as they are mostly made with thicker fabrics instead of lighter thinner ones to keep that “fit-and’flare” look.
What are some ways to accessorize for that winter bridal look?
Soft shrug – These look delicate over the wedding gown, all whilst keeping your shoulders warm. A crisp white shrug with no extra addition is typically a classic look.
Fur shawl- Along with keeping you warm from any chilly breeze, the furry shawl looks very elegant. Sometimes though it can hide the design of the gown. Be sure to choose a shawl that can keep you warm along with giving you that elegant winter wedding bridal look.
Satin jacket– This jacket is trending amongst winter brides. Some choose a contrasting-colored satin jacket with some embroidery work on the back of it. While others choose the same color as the bridal gown for a more simple and subtle look.
Patterned scarf– Scarves can also look good with a wedding gown. They come in solid colors as well as patterns – its truly a personal preference for each bride!
Bolero (jacket)– This is another option for winter brides who prefer a more subtle look. It usually comes in lace or solid satin and is usually of a color or fabric that matches the gown. Not all gowns have a bolero to complement it. If this is something you would like, be sure to ask your bridal consultant to choose gowns that have a complimentary bolero!
Winter weddings have a unique look from the ceremony and reception décor, to bridal bouquets, to the all-important bridal gown! Be sure to let your bridal consultant know that you would like to achieve this look if you are going for a Winter Wedding theme!
