It’s always useful to know the unspoken rules of wedding attire.
What To Wear To A Winter Wedding As A Guest
What’s the dress code?
When in doubt about what to wear to a wedding, guests should look to the invitation or website. You’ll have an easier time coming up with an outfit if you know in advance if the wedding is formal, semi-formal, or more offbeat and unconventional.
Winter weddings are typically black-tie affairs, so dress as if you were going to a fancy supper. Men are welcome to wear tuxedos with dress pants, while women are welcome to wear long-sleeve maxi dresses.
However, it’s important to put an emphasis on picking appropriate color palettes. Women, for instance, are expected to refrain from wearing white because it is considered the bride’s color.
Where is the location?
What to wear to a winter wedding depends on the season and the venue. Where, for instance, will it take place (in the city, in the country, etc.)?
Weddings in the city during the winter could use a palette of navy blue and black, while those in the country could use a warmer color scheme. In addition, pay attention to the materials so that your clothing will complement the environment.
Flannel, tweed, cashmere, and wool are ideal fabrics to wear to a wedding in the winter. However, if you don’t want to draw too much attention to yourself, avoid wearing bold or flashy patterns.
What is the time of the wedding?
The wedding time is on the invitation. For instance, a wedding held during the daytime hours in the winter is more likely to have a semi-formal theme than one held in the nighttime hours, where a more formal atmosphere is expected.
It’s possible that the temperature won’t rise above freezing throughout the ceremony if it’s held in the early evening. Bring your outerwear, such jackets and coats, in case it gets chilly once the sun goes down.
You may be able to get away with something more casual in the evening at some wedding receptions. If the wedding is scheduled to go from morning to night, just bring along an extra set of clothes.
Winter wedding outfit ideas
Men attending a wedding in the winter can wear either a double-breasted or single-breasted suit, depending on the event’s aesthetic. Another option is a three-piece suit paired with leather dress shoes.
If you’re a woman attending a wedding this winter, you may be warm and modest by wearing a long dress under a coat or jacket. If you’d rather be more casual, pantsuits are an option.
Then, remember that less is more when it comes to your guests’ accessories. If you’re worried about standing out too much, you can always ask other guests or the happy couple if they have any thoughts on your proposed attire.
What Are The Best Colors To Wear To A Winter Wedding?
Darker colours like blue, brown, green, and red are recommended for a winter wedding. Weddings with a wintry theme might also include metallic tones like silver and gold.
The bride and groom’s preferred color scheme should be used. Colors during the wedding will likely mirror those on the invitation.
However, as a visitor, you should not dress in the same colors as the bride and groom. It would be awkward if you matched the family, groomsmen, or bridesmaids in your wedding attire.
Do You Wear A Coat To A Winter Wedding?
In the event that you are invited to a wedding in the winter, whether it is indoors or outside, in the evening or in the afternoon, you should always pack a coat. Coats are also great alternatives to formal gowns when it’s chilly at a wedding because there are so many options for both style and material.
If you want to avoid seeming underdressed and tacky at a winter wedding, a wool or high-end fabric coat is the way to go. Dress coats, trench coats, and wrap coats are all examples of appropriate outerwear.
Read on for advice on how to wear a shawl to a wedding if you don’t think a coat will be necessary due to the temperature or location. You won’t have to sacrifice warmth for portability.
Is It Okay To Wear Black To A Winter Wedding?
Black is acceptable to wear to a winter wedding because it is a neutral among the most popular hues. Keep in mind that some cultures view the color black as a symbol of sadness or bad luck, so it’s best to check with the happy couple as well.

6 Must-Have Wedding Accessories For The Winter
A Cozy Faux Fur Stole
A bit of snow and gusty weather? That won’t stop you or your bridesmaids, I know it, not when you’re all decked up in those faux fur stoles.
Faux fur stoles are a traditional favorite of winter brides since they are both practical and stunning. Faux fur stoles are not only functional, but also look amazing against a snowy backdrop and complement a wide range of wedding themes, from boho-glam to vintage-inspired celebrations.
An Elegant Evening Shawl Or Wrap
A faux fur stole can make a statement, but you might not want to be seen in public with anyone else donning one. It’s your big day, so we won’t pass judgment. You ought to be noticed for your own good.
Wraps and shawls are perfect for your bridesmaids in this case. Wraps and shawls will make a statement against their bridesmaid dresses, and your show-stopping stole will do the same for you.
The best bridesmaid gifts are shawls and wraps, so that’s another reason to go with those. Your ladies can recycle them for future formal events or use them as a warm and stylish scarf this winter.
A Dreamy Winter Wedding Bouquet
Being able to pick out a stunningly beautiful bouquet is a really undervalued bonus of being a winter bride. Don’t forget this essential wedding addition, which comes in colors ranging from deep crimson to white enough for a snow queen.
Choose a bouquet with seasonal berries (holly berries, hypericum berries, etc.) and plum flowers for a dark and dramatic wedding day look. Looking to get in the holiday spirit? Opt for a bouquet with white roses, pine and juniper for a floral arrangement that smells as good as it looks.
Stylish Gloves Or Mittens
There was a time when a bride wouldn’t have been considered properly dressed if she didn’t wear gloves to her wedding. Your grandmother undoubtedly wore the same pair to her own wedding!
Gloves used to be required wedding attire, but nowadays they’re a stylish extra. It’s important to remember the protocol for wedding gloves.
Put on some mittens if the temperature drops below freezing. Wearing mittens instead of regular gloves can keep your hands toasty on the big day and provide a homey vibe to your bridal appearance.
A Practical Pair Of Wedding Shoes
It’s common sense to wear shoes with closed toes throughout the winter months unless you enjoy watching your toes turn blue. Although bridal flats are the more conventional shoe choice, bridal boots are a great option for the cooler months.
You can’t go wrong with a pair of ankle-high, block-heeled boots if you’re trying to make a fashion statement. The block heel on the ankle bootie will keep you from slipping on ice, and you may wear them again after the wedding.
Keep in mind that you can change into bridal flats after the images have been taken if you wore boots for the ceremony and photos. Is it really true that a bride can’t be both fashionable and sensible?
Silver Wedding Jewelry
Have you decided on your wedding jewelry yet? Silver is a beautiful option. Silver jewelry is wonderful for a winter bride since it sparkles like snow and goes well with the wintry scenery.
Your choice of necklace and bracelet for the big day will primarily be determined by the shape of your neck, but no matter what your neck looks like, you should definitely wear a set of chandelier earrings. They will make your white wedding dress stand out in a crowd, and are perfect for a winter wedding.
Conclusion
And with that, I’m done! You now know, based on the wedding’s dress code and other factors, what to wear to a winter wedding.
Guest attire often consists of suits for men and dresses with jackets for women. Make sure you’re wearing something warm that fits the wedding’s theme in advance of the ceremony, as it is likely to be chilly.
