Tips To Choose Winter Wedding Outfits

While choosing dresses to wear to a winter wedding, remember the following tips to avoid feeling chilly during those freezing nights and cold mornings.

1. Material: Choose material such as wool, velvet, or silk to keep your body warm.
2. Stitching Style: When stitching your blouse, opt for sleeves that are either long or three-fourths to keep your arms toasty.
3. Layering: You can layer your outfit with a dupatta, shawl, stole, or shrug to elevate your outfit and keep yourself warm.
4. Leg Warmers: Add a pair of leg warmers under your skirt, saree, or lehenga to keep your legs warm under the skirt.

Essential Accessories For Winter Wedding Outfits

The ideal winter wedding attire for women will have the right accessories to elevate the whole look, so here are a few that you can add to your winter wedding outfit.

1. Jewellery: Earrings, bangles, necklaces, rings, maang tika, anklets, and waistbands are all important jewellery pieces that are not only beautiful but also appreciated at an event such as a wedding. They take the whole look to another level without making much of an effort. Make sure to choose the right jewellery that matches your outfit.
2. Shoes: A nice pair of ethnic shoes with bedazzles, embellishments or even embroidery can complete your look from head to toe.
3. Hair & Makeup: Your hair and makeup game has to be on point to complement the outfit. Shabby hair and makeup can literally ruin the whole vibe of the winter wedding outfit.
4. Bags: Since most Indian outfits for women don’t have pockets, it makes for a great excuse to carry our priced possessions – our bags. Bags with sequins, pearls, diamonds, and kundan are all great choices for a winter wedding outfit.
