Winter is upon us, bringing with it chilly temperatures and unpredictable weather. Winter can be an incredibly romantic and practical time to have a wedding, it just requires some forward planning.

Brides planning to tie the knot in the wintertime must take caution to prevent catching a chill on the big day. Long sleeve wedding dresses made of heavier fabrics like velvet and silk allow for greater insulation against the cold. Add flair with lace detail or embellishments, and you’re all set. You can even add a stunning matching jacket for extra warmth.

Here are some designs we are loving:

Still swooning over this gorgeous couple’s engagement party, which we featured on the blog back in February. (Swipe through today’s Insta story if you missed it.) Andrea and Mark’s destination wedding in Greece was postponed due to COVID-19, but a new date is in the works and we can’t wait to see what unfolds. If this was their engagement party, can you imagine how epic the wedding will be?? 😍 Event Design & Art Direction: @jararkazmi Planner: @bijiplanners Cake & Desserts: @finecakesbyzehraofficial Gowns & Styling: @esstiq @missesstiq Hair: @tressesxsandrine 📸: #goplatinumlist member @latelierlumiere ✨

It’s no secret that we love sleeves at Unbridaled. Benedita off the shoulder gives a relaxed look to an elaborate fabric. #longsleeveweddingdress #weddingdresswithsleeves #fittedweddingdress #winterwedding #modestweddingdress

Feels good to know there’s no “new” agenda on our end. Just a renewed commitment to uplifting brides and wedding + event vendors of color. Btw, how stylish are these 2??? @awengchuol and @lexymayjust via @vowsofstyle #pyermoss
