Have you decided to be a winter bride? I think having a winter wedding allows brides to add that extra little dusting of glam and sparkle to their big day. Turn up the detail on your gown, wear bigger, shinier earrings, higher heels with tons of dazzling gem stones – however you decide to add oomph, have fun doing it.
Golden Delight
This winter there are a few trends to be seen in the wedding dress world that will perfectly compliment your winter wedding. Using gold either on your shoes, jewellery or subtly on your wedding dress will give a warm feeling. Gold will add warmth and cosiness to your day, so no matter if the snow falls and in reality you’re freezing, you will still radiate a glowing warm exterior.
How *amazing* is this champagne over light gold lace gown!
Lovin’ Lace
Lace has always been a very popular way of making a beautiful wedding dress, absolutely stunning! However, as elegant as it is, lace can sometimes make a wedding dress look older, more dated, until now! Bridal designers are now using lace in more modern ways creating cutting edge gowns with still an elegant look, but more up-to-date.
Keyhole back detail edged in gorgeous lace= lots of loveliness!
See what I mean about using lace in a modern way- these Jesus Peiro gowns are modern, elegant and sure of creating a few ‘wows!’
Big on Detail
Like I said, winter allows you to add that extra little touch of sparkle, bling, beading and all things deliciously decadent on your gown, especially on the bodice area.
This luxurious and intricate bodice is heavily beaded in Swarovski crystals making for a shimmering silhouette.
There may not be a lot of sparkle on this Amanda Wyatt gown, but there is SO much detail with the handmade flower’s that have been appliquéd onto the bodice giving texture and flair!
Sexy Sleeves
Most probably made so popular thanks to the most famous Kate in the world, the addition of sleeves to your wedding gown makes them not only modest and chic but incredibly sexy.
This season Ian Stuart has produced striking lace long sleeve wedding gowns, that scream ladylike, opulent elegance.
Are you a Twilight lover? If you are the dress on the right is just for you! Inspired by Bella’s gown, this long sleeve gown with button detail has an amazing cut out back with lace embellishments on the sleeve and back.
Combine a very elaborate bodice with subtle sleeves for a fairytale look.
