The dark winter months don’t always have to be bleak and dingy. You do not have to deal with the sweltering heat or wilting flowers as you would in the summertime, but a wedding during winter comes with its own set of challenges.
However, a winter wedding can be truly magical if prepared well in advance. Follow these tips and tricks to make your celebration unforgettable!
For women: It can be fun to dress for a wedding in winter as it gives females the opportunity to be adventurous. Experiment with cool and dark colours, thicker fabrics and interesting layering. Choose a simple wrap dress for a casual wedding or a sophisticated draped gown for a formal one.
For men: Deciding the attire for men can be based on when the wedding is: daytime or evening. For the former, a suit in taupe, navy or grey (with pinstripes) is great and for the latter, a granddad collar shirt or a charcoal suit will do the trick.
