It's cold during the winter. That's what makes it winter. So why are you considering a summer dress as your perfect winter wedding dress? Strapless is great in the summer (if you happen to look good in a strapless dress, but unless you're wearing something snuggly wrapped around your neck, they're going to leave you pretty chilly at your wedding.
Many venues (especially old churches) just don't heat up the way you'd like them to. So gauzy shawls are not going to cut the chill enough to keep you warm. And although the song offers a sweet sentiment that "You've got your love to keep you warm..." really, it's not enough. Especially if you're having a wedding ceremony that is going to take its time getting you married.
So consider some of these possibilities as you choose the dress that will not only reveal your incredible beauty, but also keep you warm enough to concentrate on the wedding!
- Fabrics: Among the wonderful winter possibilities are velvets, cashmeres, heavy satins, and brocades. They have an entirely different drape than summer fabrics and that's a wonderful style opportunity. Plus you'll feel completely regal swishing around in floor length velvet.
- Style: Try something off the shoulder, or something with a high neck. Lace insets or smooth silk. Both are beautiful. One of the other is going to be just right for you! Fur (real or faux, depending upon your preferences) or boas are wonderful, beautiful and warm!
- Sleeves: Don't want to waste the opportunity to show off those arm muscles? Find a dress with snug sleeves, or sleeves that fall back to reveal the shape of an arm. We seem to have forgotten how to hint at sexy, too often we blare about it.
- Color: Use the white of the snow, or the white of heavy cream, which ever flatters you more. Forget about fake tans, look pale and interesting. Wear fun make-up. Or wear a dramatically colored dress. Nothing says you have to have a white dress. (Which would rather do, look like every bride in the world, or your own most beautiful self?) Remember that the more you look like an extra beautiful version of yourself during that season, the less work you have to do!
- Shoes: If you've worn warm shoes to get to the wedding, go ahead and put on your Cinderella slippers. But there are wonderful, beautiful, warm shoes and boots that will keep your feet toasty and compliment your dress.
- Wraps: Add a deep and fabulous color as a wrap (fabulous silks can be lined with wool or fleece for warmth.) Let the fabric tumble to the floor so that the drama of the color is really obvious. Or wrap yourself in fur. Why not take a page out of the ice-queen's book?
- Hat: Rather than a tiara, wear a beautiful cocktail hat with a wonderful veil. Or visit the antique clothing store and find yourself a fabulous big white hat. Don't succumb to the I don't look good in hats. There's a hat for everyone!
If you think you have to be strapless and backless on your wedding day, you haven't watched any wonderful movies from the 40s recently. There are lots of glamorous options that will set you off from the crowd of brides getting married every week! And isn't that exactly what you want! Go ahead! Be beautiful! And be warm!
Bottom Line?: Give your relationship the chance it deserves to succeed wildly, against all odds! After all, you deserve it. Your relationship deserves it!
