Any suggestions? Firstly, congratulations on your upcoming wedding. I love winter weddings; there’s something so magical about the winter sun and frosty mornings that look great in wedding pictures. When it comes to keeping warm on your day, there are so many options out there, but my absolutely favourite is a dress with sleeves! Sleeves are a big trend for 2025 and there are so many varieties out there. Whether you’ve chosen a gown with a high neckline and a fitted lace sleeve or something a bit softer with an off-the-shoulder balloon sleeve, your choices are endless. We’ve got some beautiful dresses coming into store soon from our newest designer, Trè s Chic, that have different style sleeves. As for the style of your dress, you don’t have to put yourself in just one box because you have an hourglass figure. Wear what you feel most confident in, whether that’s a fitted mermaid-style dress, a soft A-line or a full ballgown. The choice is yours.

Winter weddings can be a magical and romantic affair, with festive decorations adding a touch of charm to the special day. If you’re a bride-to-be planning a winter wedding, you may be wondering how to stay stylish and warm at the same time. Here are some tips on how to wear a winter wedding dress that will keep you looking fabulous and feeling cosy on your big day: Choose the right fabric: When it comes to a winter wedding dress, the fabric you choose is key. Opt for heavier fabrics like satin, silk, or a luxury crepe that will keep you warm in the colder temperatures. These fabrics also have a luxurious look that is perfect for a winter wedding. Add layers: Layering is key when it comes to staying warm in the winter. Consider adding a faux fur stole, cape, or bolero to your wedding dress for some extra warmth and style. These accessories can also add a touch of elegance to your look. They are removable, so you can always lose them later if you start feeling warm or are hitting the dancefloor. Sparkle and shine: Winter weddings are the perfect occasion to add some sparkle and shine to your bridal look. Consider a dress with embellishments like sequins, beading, or crystals for a touch of glamour. These details will catch the light and add a magical touch to your winter wedding dress. Embrace colour: While white is traditional for wedding dresses, don’t be afraid to add a pop of colour to your look. Consider a dress in a soft blush, champagne, or even gold for a stylish twist on the traditional white gown. Don’t forget about your accessories: These are key to completing your look. Consider adding a statement necklace, earrings, or a tiara to add some sparkle and glamour to your bridal ensemble. A pair of stylish boots or heels in a winter-friendly material like suede or velvet will also keep you looking chic and feeling comfortable. With these tips in mind, you’re sure to look fabulous and feel cosy on your special day.
