Romantic, Unique and Affordable Winter Wedding
Winter weddings are all about the cozy comfort of wearing a warm, down-filled parka rather than worrying about your dress getting ruined in an unexpected rainstorm. This is especially true for couples who want to spend their big day outdoors, even if they are not exchanging vows on the beach or having dinner at a chic rooftop restaurant overlooking the city lights.
Winter weddings also have that unique and romantic flair that goes hand in hand with the season. In order to create the romantic winter wedding bridal look, it is important that the bride looks comfortable and confident in her choice of dress, as well as staying warm.
Ultimately, winter wedding dresses can be extremely elegant and timeless if executed correctly. These wedding dresses are absolute proof that simplicity is key, trendy and will make you the romantic and stylish winter bride on your special day.

Dress Bo and Luca
That is not to say that you have to settle for wedding dresses that end up looking frumpy; instead, it is all about choosing dresses with materials that will flatter you and elevate your body shape.
For starters, avoid heavy fabrics such as velvet and satin that will end up making you feel uncomfortable and heavy walking down the aisle.
Instead opt for lighter weight materials such as organza or chiffon that are still soft but closer to the body without adding too much volume to your winter bridal look.
On top of that, winter wedding dresses are typically strapless or have a very small amount of sleeves to keep the bride cool, so opt for this style. Alternatively, if you would like to stay warm all day while exuding elegance, long gloves are a great option!
