Summer Weddings: Light and Airy

Fall Weddings: Romantic with a Touch of Warmth

• Fabrics: Silk crepe, satin, heavier lace variations, long-sleeved options in lightweight fabrics.
• Why they work: These fabrics offer warmth and structure without feeling heavy.
• Silhouettes: Ball gowns, mermaid for warmth with the added drama of a train, long-sleeved sheaths and A-lines.
• Bonus: Consider a stylish wrap or bolero, easily removed as the celebration heats up.

Winter Weddings: Luxurious and Cozy

• Fabrics: Velvet, brocade, mikado silk, satin, gowns with rich textures.
• Why they work: These fabrics offer warmth and an air of opulence perfect for winter.
• Silhouettes: Ball gowns with a touch of faux fur, structured long-sleeved styles, trumpet and sheath styles in heavy satin.
• Bonus: Jewel tones, metallic brocades, and long, dramatic sleeves add a wintery flair.

Spring Weddings: Fresh and Delicate

• Fabrics: Soft tulle, lightweight satin, lace overlays, floral prints (for non-traditional gowns).

Additional Considerations

• Venue: Indoor or outdoor? A cathedral wedding might allow for heavier fabrics than a beach ceremony.
• Destination weddings: Humidity is a factor! Opt for ultra-breathable fabrics if you’re headed to a tropical location.
• Changeable Weather: Layering is key! A jacket or wrap allows you to adapt to temperature shifts.
