5 Winter Wedding Outfit Ideas
A winter wedding can be a magical event, from frosty churchyards to candlelit receptions and seasonal feasting. When it comes to winter wedding guest outfit ideas, the season invites us to embrace opulent fabrics, sophisticated tailored silhouettes, and elevated detailing. Our winter occasion wear collection is perfect for weddings in warm wools, boucles and tactile velvets and checks. Below are 5 styles to consider for winter nuptials.
1. THE VELVET TOUCH
Velvet is the epitome of winter occasion wear, offering both warmth and a rich texture that feels undeniably luxurious and fitting for a special winter event. Our Calla and Sonia styles offer a flattering silhouette with clever tailoring, while the sumptuous silk velvet fabric catches the light beautifully. Pair with delicate gold heels and a matching metallic clutch for a polished look. Add a pair of statement earrings to elevate the ensemble for evening receptions, ensuring you’re prepared for both the ceremony and the dance floor.
2. Sophisticated Maxi Dresses
A winter black-tie wedding calls for gowns that exude refinement, with a hint of seasonal sparkle. Our Yahvi Maxi Embellished Velvet dress has all the drama of a floor-sweeping silhouette with gold floral detailing etched into the black silk velvet for a subtle shimmer.
Pair it with closed-toe heels and a chic faux-fur stole for added warmth and glamour as you transition from church to reception.
3. Embrace Seasonal Prints
There is something subtly Christmassy about a tartan check; as a nod to the winter season, our Ahana in Navy Wool Check is perfect for winter weddings. The pearl-detailing can be picked up in timeless jewellery, while the shot of cranberry through the tartan can be paired with a slick of berry lipstick. The fit and flare style is universally flattering, with a cinched belt waist, high-neckline and fully lined, it will keep you warm and stylish, wherever the nuptials take place.
4. Layering with ElegancE
Winter weddings often involve braving chilly outdoor settings, or drafty churches, making a chic outer layer an essential part of any winter wedding outfit. Our winter occasion wear collection includes our maxi Sawyer Houndstooth coat, with integrated scarf for a statement finish to a winter outfit, while our neater Charlotte Black Sparkle Boucle jacket is a beautiful classic style to update an existing dress to add warmth for winter weddings.
5. Not Just Dresses
For those seeking an alternative to traditional dresses for a winter wedding, a cleverly paired separates outfit can offer the perfect blend of versatility and elegance. Our luxury silk jacquard set in a warm navy is ideal for winter events. The tailored, yet flowing India trouser pairs perfect with the pussy bow Bonnie Blouse, for an elevated jumpsuit feel. Pair it with statement heels and a beaded clutch for a glam look. Wedding over? Each piece can be worn separately with other wardrobe staples, making it a smart, sustainable, investment buy.
6. Boucle Charm
A wool boucle is another fabric perfect for winter weddings, especially when shot through with a hint of sparkle, as seen in our Calista Sparkle Boucle Dress. A design riff on a classic coat dress and made in London, the form-fitting 100% wool boucle style would be perfect for a city wedding, paired with a classic stiletto heel and sheer hosiery.
7. Final Flourishes
To complete your look, winter weddings allow for bolder makeup choices. A classic red lip pairs beautifully with jewel-toned velvets, while shimmery eyeshadows echo the lustre of a sparkly boucle. For hair, soft waves or a chic chignon adorned with a jewelled hairpin or velvet bow complement the elegance of winter occasion wear, perfectly.
