Top 10 Simple Wedding Dresses for a Winter Wedding

A winter wedding presents special challenges to any bride. Choosing the outfit for your big day is always fun, and even though the weather outside is frightful, there are many simple wedding dresses to choose from. And you don’t need to sell your car to pay for the dress of your dreams if you use this guide.

You need to make a few decisions before you start choosing your dress; things like, will your photos be inside or outside, how cold is it likely to be, and what style of wedding are you looking for?

Wedding dresses don’t have to be white either, so you have another decision to make; white, ivory, red and other colours are all easy to find. All the dresses here are shown in white or ivory, but most are available in other colours on the retailers’ websites. Just choose the colour that best suits your personality and colouring.

If your wedding is less than a year away, accept that you are going to be the shape you are now, give or take a few pounds. Love the shape you are in and look for a dress that will help you look your best.
