Not Your Average Winter Wedding Inspiration!

To add an unexpected touch to your winter wedding consider layering different textures and colours.

Intricate patterns, brocades and beading are perfect for your decadent big day in Winter. Don't be afraid to think outside the box and play around with different styles and looks. The festive season is always more glamourous and sumptuous so, as the bride, feel free to set the tone. This is a day (and a dress) that you want people to remember! 

  

Surprise your guests by choosing delicate shades of blush pink or taupe and then add a dash of festive red.

These 1930's Madeline Vionnet gowns are a great inspiration for an old Hollywood style wedding gown. Just imagine them on New Years Eve!

Our slinky 1930's wedding gown is encrusted with sparkling rhinestones. It has the most fabulous low back and we've thrown a faux fur bolero with rhinestone clasp over it to keep the winter chills at bay. 

This Jacques Fath ensemble in 1952 shows us just how rich and picture perfect muted colour tones can look. 

We've paired a 1940s mink strapless, ballet length gown that's covered in sequins and rhinestones with a 50's beaded, baby pink cardigan. This unusual colour palette is not one that instantly springs to mind for a bride but just add a bird cage veil or short veil and you'll wow them all!

Red and pink is one of our favourite festive colour combinations so why not introduce it into your wedding day? This incredible image is of Jacques Fath evening gowns in 1952.

Our 1950's  pale pink, tea length gown has all the sparkle needed for a winter wedding. We then added a vivid red 1950's beaded cardigan for some seasonal cheer!

If you want to go full CHRISTMAS take some inspiration from Anne Gunning in the 1950's. Looking fabulously festive Wearing a Sybil Connolly coat.

If a touch of sparkle is more your thing then how about adding a unique accessory. It could be gloves, something a little different in your hair or a piece of jewellery. We think this 1940's sparkling bird of paradise brooch would look incredible pinned to your bridal cover-up! 

  

Adding Unexpected Colour to a Winter Wedding

Having a winter wedding shouldn't mean that you have to stick to the same old colour palette of reds. greens, golds or grey. There's a whole spectrum of colours out there that are just begging to be worn during the winter months. 

We've paired our 1950's ivory embroidered tea length wedding dress with tones of royal blue and we've added flourishes of magenta and oranges with the flowers and make-up.

The overall look feels quite modern and edgy despite being a classic, original vintage dress.

Dark rich colours in peacock shades, metallics, rich yellows and pinks, cool blues and ice whites will all work in cooler months. 

Don't forget that if you are using a very dark palette like aubergine, wine or browns to add a pop of contasting vivid colour to ensure the overall look isn't too sombre. Brightening up your accessories and florals is a great way to do this!
