Basic principles for choosing clothes for a wedding
Preparing for the holiday involves choosing an outfit, shoes and accessories, creating hairstyles and makeup. In theory, this is easy, but when it comes time to practice, many people have a question: what is the best way to dress for a winter wedding? There are a huge number of options, so you can easily create the look in which you will look beautiful and stylish. Here are some important tips regarding choosing clothes for a winter wedding:
- Skip the white outfit. Remember that the only girl in white at the wedding should be the bride, so don’t spoil her mood by wearing an outfit of the same color. Give preference to a bright suit or dress decorated with a floral print or pattern - there are many alternatives.
- Please note that for a winter wedding you should take replacement shoes. Since the banquet usually takes place in a restaurant, and wearing warm boots all evening is inconvenient, replacement shoes will be a good solution. Match your dress with evening shoes with heels, such as ankle boots or pumps.
- Be sure to wear stockings or tights. Despite the fact that you will be indoors most of the time, there is a risk of freezing and getting sick.
- If you have been invited to a wedding organized in a certain style, then you need to choose clothes taking into account this theme. Some newlyweds, especially those who like to have fun, prefer a themed party to a standard wedding celebration. Therefore, you need to come to the party in a costume that matches the given theme, for example, cowboy or nautical.
- We advise pregnant girls to choose something light and flowing. In such clothes you will feel comfortable throughout the evening.

Seasonality
“The special atmosphere of a winter fairy tale makes the wedding truly magical. If you become a guest of such a celebration during the snowy season, then you will experience the pleasure of such a holiday. But weather conditions add troubles, namely, the question arises: “What to wear to feel comfortable, not to freeze and to be beautiful?” First of all, you don't have to wear a dress. At the moment, you can look stylish in a suit, as well as in a well-chosen blouse and skirt. Secondly, it would be appropriate to take a jacket or cape with you. Regarding the color scheme, it must be selected based on the style of the wedding or celebration design. Thirdly, replacement shoes are exactly what you need to take indoors with you. If you are planning a long photo shoot outside, be sure to take a hat and gloves with you. Mittens and felt boots would only be appropriate for a stylized photo shoot,” notes Ekaterina Likhacheva, owner of the Tavifa wedding fashion and founder of the Lakshmi fashion brand.

notes naturalness as the main trend in 2021, but emphasizes that: “If you want to display the new trend as much as possible, then feel free to choose a

, be it silver or gold.
It can be a small, but definitely bright accent in the corner of the eye
or on the entire eyelid, or a colored metal arrow.”
Also, highlighter and blush continue to play one of the main roles, however, in the coming season there is no longer uncontrollable shine. These products are designed to locally and moderately create the effect of well-groomed and healthy skin. Wedding makeup: trends!

What should a guest wear to a wedding in winter 2021?
So, there are several rules, for example, the bride has made you her bridesmaid. In this case, as a rule, she herself prepares outfits for her friends. And here you don’t have much choice. Typically, brides agree on the cut and styles of dresses or suits with the participants in the photo shoot. The bride, together with the organizer or decorator, selects the color scheme or texture of the fabric, after which the bridesmaids' dresses are individually tailored.
It’s great if your bride-friend also takes care of the same outerwear, since taking photos for several hours in the cold among a snow-covered forest is not a very comfortable pleasure and you can catch a cold in one minute, “not living” until the evening events.
If a “warm accessory” is not meant, take the initiative into your own hands and invite all your girlfriends to think of identical fur capes or shawls. By the way, they may differ in cut and style.
Men's wedding dress code for a winter wedding
If you are invited to a celebration that begins in the afternoon, then you should not wear a tuxedo - it is inappropriate. According to etiquette, this item of clothing should only be worn after 5 pm. Therefore, it is necessary to come to the wedding in a “morning suit”, and in the evening change into a tuxedo. For the first half of the day, a light suit is suitable, but you can limit yourself to a shirt and trousers. Don't forget that a short sleeve shirt eliminates the need for a tie. For evening, a dark suit is suitable, but a tie should be chosen in a different color.

When choosing decorations for a winter wedding, much more is allowed than for a summer wedding. After all, impressive jewelry sets in the lap of nature look too bulky, but in winter they quite organically complement the image. Heavy necklaces, sautoirs and large bracelets look more appropriate in enclosed spaces - in company with dresses made of dense fabrics, rather than airy tulle.

Complex weaving, baroque motifs, and colored stones are also more suitable for winter brides. At the same time, you should not get carried away with excessive decoration; focus on one major accent.
Photos of wedding outfits in winter 2021
It is not necessary to wear a warm dress to attend a wedding organized in winter. Most likely, you will be hot in the restaurant. Pay attention to outfits in bright colors or calm colors with decorative floral inserts. If you like a dark dress or suit, you can always complement it with beautiful accessories and shoes. Remember that the jewelry you wear to your wedding should be consistent with your overall look.
Cocktail dress for a wedding as a guest
In the hot season and for a casual celebration, a short cocktail-style outfit would be a good choice. This choice will not only highlight your attractiveness, but also provide functionality and practicality. Cocktail dresses for wedding guests are popular in fashionable styles such as sun, sheath, and a-line. If you want to add some zest to your look, choose products with a combined design, for example, made of silk and lace, chiffon and guipure, and other solutions. Drapery, rhinestone embroidery, contrasting colors of the skirt and yoke are considered a stylish addition.
What dresses should guests not wear to a wedding?
In addition to current trends, stylists offer to familiarize themselves with solutions that are strictly prohibited in creating the image of guests. Due to different body shapes and individual tastes, an outfit can be selected based purely on personal preferences and ignoring the latest trends. However, it is important to know which wardrobe elements will only emphasize disrespect and irresponsible attitude towards the holiday as a whole. Let's find out what not to wear:
- White dress for wedding guests
. This color is excluded for everyone except the bride. If you can't wait to wear a light outfit, opt for pastel colors, a nude palette, or a printed design with a white background.
- Black design
. A dark classic color is also considered inappropriate because it is associated with mourning and negativity, and given that the wedding ceremony is characterized by the happiness and love of the newlyweds, such an outfit can emphasize your disrespectful attitude towards the couple and young family.
- Curvy cut
. Avoid multi-layered and wide skirts. Only the bride can have this option.
- Open design.
Too revealing elements in the design of an outfit are also considered a bad choice. Open details attract attention, and it is important for you to remember that the main attention of others should be paid to the bride.
Dress for a wedding as a guest of a pregnant woman
It is important for pregnant women to choose not only a beautiful, but also a comfortable outfit that will provide comfort to the pregnant belly and freedom of movement. A fashionable choice is the trapezoid style, which does not constrain the body. This option will also help hide your position completely. But if you want to highlight your pregnancy, opt for stylish high-waisted models. Beautiful wedding guest dresses are popular in both moderate and maximum lengths. Original interpretations of the strictly case are also trending. And gentle pastel colors became successful colors for pregnant women.
