Our Advice For Choosing A Beautiful Christmas Wedding Dress
Be A Wintery Material Girl
If you’re holding a Christmas wedding here in the UK, then it stands to reason that you’ll need to think about the good old British weather… Consider choosing a denser fabric for your dress, such as satin or mikado, both of which balance comfort and warmth. Crepe is another good choice for a Christmas wedding dress, as it can be insulating and easy to wear, whilst still looking timelessly elegant. If you’re dreaming of a princess dress, remember that layers of tulle can also help to keep your legs nice and toasty!
Add Some Festive Sparkle!
Whether you’re planning full-on Christmas-themed nuptials, or simply want to echo your frosty surroundings, adding sparkles to your gown is a great way to showcase the ethereal magic of a Winter wedding. You can drift down the aisle like a snowflake drifting through the sky, dazzling your guests as you go! For some stunning sparkles, we recommend the gorgeous Storm, by Shikoba Bride. Of course, a glitzy dress is not your only option – if you’d prefer a simpler gown, why not give a nod to the glimmer of Winter with a twinkly veil instead?!
Long Sleeves
We all know that Winter is a season for cosy jumpers and long sleeves, so it’s no surprise that long-sleeved dresses are always a popular choice for a Christmas wedding dress! Ideal for keeping you warm, whilst also embodying the romantic charm of the season, a long-sleeved wedding dress is practical as well as versatile – after all, dress sleeves can be made from a variety of stunning materials, allowing each bride to show off her uniqueness. We recommend the beautiful Mimosa by Rembo Atelier. Her lace top contrasts beautifully with her delicate chiffon skirt and her sleeves are only three-quarter length, so there’s no risk of over-heating when you get on that dance floor!
Think Romance
Christmas is unashamedly romantic. Cosy nights in, secretly shopping for that special gift you know your loved one will adore… It’s a time of year that sweeps you up in excitement and what better way to represent the romance of the season than with a classically romantic wedding dress? Greer, from our Serene by Madi Lane collection, is tailored with a luxurious floral jacquard and offers a fresh and modern twist to classic bridal designs, with its structured bodice and gentle A-line skirt. Of course, another way to scream “romance” is with lace, so if your heart is set on a full-on fairytale gown for your Christmas wedding, why not check out the stunning Meyer, also from our Serene by Madi Lane collection?!
It’s All About The Extras!
A Christmas wedding is a great excuse to go all-out with the extras, from cosy capes and shawls, to elaborate icicle-like tiaras. There’s something opulent about the chilliest season that simply makes us want to add more to our big day. Perhaps it’s beautiful bows – like the fabulous tulle bow seen on Indio by Marylise. Or maybe you’re tempted by a dress topper, such as Shikoba Bride’s stunning Chloe, featuring gorgeous pearls falling like snowflakes. Whatever catches your eye, a festive wedding gives you carte blanche to go as big as you dare!
