Weddings in January can be so romantic but ensuring you're warm enough is essential to enjoying your special day. Winter wedding dresses are traditionally fuller-bodied gowns with elegant sleeves, lace or sparkle details – just like our Rosa Clara gown called Calea. We've seen wedding gown traditions become more relaxed in more recent years, allowing more freedom in style choices. Materials for wedding dresses can vary, and some are better than others depending on the season. Heavier fabrics are thicker and means you'll be warm while still looking amazing. As well as the gown, don't forget about shawls and shrugs that can be a warm addition that's still stylish – fur and velvet materials are perfect for winter. Here at Iconic Bride, we've recently opened our new bridesmaid store with beautiful dresses in warm tones for winter with red, burnt orange and emerald shades. Each one would look great with a shawl or shrug to match the bride.
