Temperatures are dropping, the snow is falling, and the winter coats are coming out of the closet. It is the perfect time to stay inside next to the fireplace and start imagining your dream wedding dress. If you are planning a wedding in the winter season, you should think of a wedding gown that is romantic, unique, but at the same time, fits chilly weather. 

 
Of course, a bride should wear whatever gown captures her heart, but keep in mind that choosing a bridal style that does not complement the season looks out of place. Luckily, there are many different wedding dress designs, as well as many bridal accessories that are perfect for the colder weather. Get inspired by these stylish trends in winter wedding fashion and start planning your one of a kind winter bridal look. 

Winter Ball Gowns

When we think of a winter wedding dress, immediately, our imagination goes towards ball gowns. You need to wear a spectacular wedding dress that can keep up with the dramatic winter weather, and a bridal ball gown will do it. This bridal style is glamorous, feminine, elegant, and pairs beautifully with the magic of winter. 

 
There are so many different options to choose from. For example, a sleek satin or silk mikado skirt contrasts beautifully with the icy sparkles of winter. Long sleeves and high neckline not only will bring modesty, but they will also bring warmth to your bridal look. On the contrary, a strapless sweetheart neckline can be paired with a mink shawl to keep you comfortable and cozy, even with a little skin exposed.

Of course, a gorgeous bridal ball gown made of mikado is a dream winter wedding dress.

Coloured Wedding Dresses

A colourful wedding dress is not for the faint of heart. Embracing colour in your bridal look can be such an attractive and captivating choice. The snowy winter weather is the perfect backdrop for a lovely pop of colour on your wedding day, and the ways to incorporate colour are endless.
 
When adding colour to your bridal dream dress, choose a wedding dress that is made entirely of a soft neutral tone. A beautiful caramel, gold, or even deep ivory would look so breathtakingly stunning against the stark white of the winter landscape. If you are not so bold on wearing a fully coloured bridal gown, there are ways to add just subtle pops of colour. Add a colourful lace, bright embroidery, or vibrant accessories to bring a little extra added glamour and excitement to your winter wedding look. 
 
Whichever way you add some colour to your wedding dress, you will undoubtedly stand out and look stunning at your cold weather ceremony in one of these Papilio originals.
