Velvet Wedding Dresses Are The Perfect Wedding Dress For A Winter Wedding!

While many brides opt for spring or summer weddings, there is just something magical about a winter wedding. There just seems to be such a contrast between the cold weather outside and the warm glow in your heart. Choosing an ideal gown for your perfect wedding could be as easy as thinking about purchasing a velvet wedding gown.

Not only do velvet wedding dresses look beautiful but they will keep you warm if the church or reception hall is not as well heated as it should be. Your wedding day is meant to be a wonderful moment in time and you are going to want to enjoy every moment of it, not spend it shivering and wishing you were wearing a sweater. Part of the fun of a winter wedding is dressing for the season.

Colors and Styles of Velvet Wedding Gowns

Velvet wedding dresses come in a variety of styles and this soft lush fabric is perfect for any cold weather wedding. These styles range from beautiful Celtic or medieval style gowns with flowing sleeves and lace up over bodices, to ultra modern styles that are sleeveless or have halter tops.

You can purchase wedding gowns in a simple long sleeved straight style or one with flowing lines and a beautiful train. There are two piece velvet wedding gowns, cocktail length and even short dresses for weddings. These dresses can be decorated with pearls, crystals, embroidery and ribbons.

You can even purchase gowns that have satin bodices and velvet skirts which helps create a unique and beautiful look for your special day.

Think how lovely you will look in a crushed white velvet wedding dress with a pearls or crystals scattered about the gown to give it that rich elegant look. Velvet wedding gowns look especially nice when matched with a cape of the same material trimmed in white fur. It reminds one of long rides in horse drawn sleighs and other romantic fantasies of childhood.

If you want your gown to have a bit more color then why not choose a deep burgundy or red velvet wedding dress. These dresses look particularly lovely when matched with a bouquet of white roses. Seeing a bride in a lovely dress will warm even the coldest day for all who attend the wedding. Other colors that look great for winter weddings are Ivory, blue, green and rich dark purple and all can make lovely gowns for the bride that prefers a more colorful wedding.

Choosing a velvet wedding dress for your winter wedding is the perfect way to celebrate the season, your love and add even more romance and charm to that perfect day. Having a gown that makes you feel as beautiful and warm on the outside as you are on the inside is what finding the perfect gown is all about.
