Warm Winter Accessories!

There is no denying that winter is officially here! After the freezing temperature drop this week, we couldn’t think of a better topic to discuss. As much as we tend to dread the winter cold, it doesn’t mean that we can’t enjoy it for all of its glory! To all of our winter brides out there, we are here to tell you that you can still be glamorous and fashionable in your gown without being your own ‘something blue’! No matter the temperature, you can absolutely still rock the dress of your dreams on your big day with a little help from our cold friend fittings. Accessorizing your wedding gown in the winter can be extra fun because you can build pieces on to your wedding day look. This doesn’t only mean jewelry, shoes and veils; it also includes practical items like furs, shawls and jackets! For our December, January and February brides, why not think of a creative way to stay warm while still looking beautiful in your dress. Look fashionable, flawless and most importantly avoid the frostbite on your walk down the aisle.

The first and most classic winter wedding look is of course a Fur. Furs come in a variety of styles and colors and can compliment most winter wedding looks. Whether it’s a fur stole, a full-length coat or a short jacket, they all serve the same purpose…warmth! A fur stole is for a bride that mainly wants an accent piece. Maybe it’s early in the season and just starting to get chilly or just a pretty addition for your pictures. Either way it is a perfect winter accessory. The thing we love most about a fur stole is that is mainly only covers your shoulders which allows to show off your full dress. Next, the fur coat or jacket is a really fun way for weddings in the heavy winter season. These furs can be worn during your ceremony, during pictures and throughout the night for a mountain flare. Of course the initial thought is to stay warm while looking divine in your wedding dress. However, depending on your dress style and theme, these fur accents can really make your look complete. From pure white furs to browns, blacks and natural tones, there are a variety of options to compliment your style. A winter white fur glamorous for a modern affair, while a rustic natural fur compliments a forest wedding. Get creative while choosing what fur is perfect for you, real or faux, the snow queen always has her royal cloak.

One of the newest trends we love in terms of ‘cover ups’ for our late fall and winter weddings are personalized jackets. When you think of a jacket you wouldn’t usually envision it paired with a wedding dress, but have things changed! Brides of today love to add personalized items to their wedding look and custom made denim and leather jackets are the latest trend! This is a fun idea that can compliment many different wedding styles. While denim jackets are perfect for a rustic farm wedding and usually worn more in the fall, the leather jacket is for our chilly winter season. Leather jackets are more practical for the cold weather and look super cute with handmade designs. We find these jackets mesh really well with a variety of themes like vintage, eclectic, rustic or boho and are always chic and fashion forward! What we love most about these jackets is that they are no longer only for the bride, but you can have a matching one for your loved one. Personalize them with Mr./Mrs., bride/groom, last name, wedding date, favorite quotes and more! These jackets are the perfect trim for out-of-the-box couple and we love how they are dress them up and personalize them to complement their look. They are cozy, warm, fashionable, and the best part is that they can be worn and cherished for years to come.

The last look that we are really loving this winter is the traditional shawl or cape. A shawl is the perfect accessory for our bride who is looking to stay warm in the cold but not overpower her gown. Shawls and capes offer an enchanted spin to your look. They make for a very sweet, romantic and fairytale bridal feel as well as keep you toasty in many weather conditions. We love a cape that is subtle with an oversize hood and detailed trim. A perfect wedding day shawl can be a magnitude of designs from patterns, heavy fabrics, colors, blanket wraps and more. You can get creative and pick a design that accents your holiday theme or go with a subtle neutral ascetic. Maybe it’s freezing, but hey it’s your wedding day! Don’t forget a shawl can be purely ascetic; so make sure to show off your beautiful sheer shawl in all of its glory for the perfect winter wonderland accessory! There are so many options in this category, which makes it such a perfect fit for so many of our brides. All styles are elegant, sophisticated, and add to the ambience of your winter wedding. Whatever you choose, we hope it is the perfect fit to keep you warm and stylish on your big day.
