If you’re dreaming of a winter wedding, staying warm is key. Just because the temperature dips doesn’t mean you can’t wear the dress of your dreams. You can still don that strapless gown you’ve had your eye on, but make it cold weather-friendly by turning to heavier fabrics, such as Duchesse satin, brocades, crushed velvet, or taffeta. If your ideal dress comes in a lighter fabric, opt for one of these cover-up options:
Wrap: Search for something in a heavy satin, velvet, or cashmere. You may have a hard time finding something in white, so consider opting for a wrap in black and accessorize accordingly. If you’re looking for something that you can use again, search for a wrap made of reversible fabric so you can wear it out for your next big event.
Shrug: If you’re willing to spend extra, bridal designers like Carolina Herrera and Monique Lhuillier offer many gorgeous options. But if you prefer a one-of-a-kind look for half the price, hit a crafty hot spot like Etsy.com. Many vendors (like iKatGear, pictured here) allow you to pick your colors and buttons based on their stock.
Faux Fur Jacket or Caplet: Nothing looks sexier or more glamorous than a vintage fur jacket. If you’re an animal lover, avoid shopping at a vintage clothing store or eBay (where it may be tough to confirm that you’re purchasing faux fur). Instead, explore your options with high-end retailers like Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom. Both offer vintage-like faux fur options in several styles and price ranges
