What To Wear To A Winter Wedding

Winter weddings are iconic and no one can change our minds. From the cozy vibes and scenic ceremonies to the outfit options as a winter wedding guest, we’re obsessed with any event scheduled for the colder seasons.

If you’re used to partying in the summertime, deciding what to wear to a winter wedding might seem tricky. How should you style your look for ultimate comfort? What dresses can you wear to a winter wedding as a guest? If these are the kinds of questions on your mind this season, this blog is for you.

To make things extra easy, this wedding style guide is broken down by dress code. From cocktail winter wedding attire to casual winter wedding looks; you’ll find an outfit to match the vibe in seconds. Happy (winter) wedding season!

Cocktail Winter Wedding Attire

The perfect balance of elevated and fun, cocktail attire is the dress code that calls for dressy looks that show off your personal style.

Think maxi skirts paired with chic tops and long dresses with bold prints and colors. This dress code is slightly more flexible than the others, so you can experiment with different textures, tones and silhouettes.

A good cold weather cocktail dress should feel comfortable, cute and unique to you.

We’re currently loving lace details and polka dots right now. Reaching for playful designs like this is the perfect way to add a stand-out feature to your winter wedding look.

Semi Formal Winter Wedding Attire

Semi formal wedding attire might just be our fave dress code. It’s an excuse to dress up (which we love) but it’s not at the expense of comfort.

With winter weddings in particular, making sure your outfit is practical is a must. Your look should be easy to layer with coats and jackets and long enough to keep you warm. Lucky for you, just because it’s practical doesn’t mean it can’t be cute!

Whether it’s cold or not, we love long sleeve dresses and long maxi dresses. These styles look effortless on their own and somehow look even more iconic paired with a longline coat.

Experiment with different shapes and cut outs (find a few of our faves below) and see which design you love the most.

Black Tie Winter Wedding Attire

If you love fancy events where you can go all out, we hope your invite says Black Tie!

This dress code is reserved for formal weddings where the couple wants their guests to wear something extra special.

To answer a common question, no ‘Black Tie’ doesn’t mean you need to wear black. This term simply refers to the level of formality rather than specific colors or styles.

We recommend reaching for luxe fabrics like satin, in timeless winter colors, like black, burgundy, red and green.

Casual Winter Wedding Attire

There’s something about a casual wedding dress code that screams cool girl. Think casual dresses in your fave colors and matching sets with a pair of trending sling back heels.

A few core accessories can easily elevate your look too; we’re currently obsessed with hair bows and dainty necklaces.

This is your chance to show off your effortless model-off-duty looks!

Winter Wedding Guest Shoes

Time to bring your winter wedding guest outfit together with a pair of statement shoes.

If you’re a neutral lover that leans towards understated outfits, wearing some eye-catching shoes is a game-changer. Small details like hardware accents or bows can easily take your look from casual to glam.

If your outfit is already doing the talking, a pair of white, black or beige shoes will always match the vibe.

Remember to keep comfort in mind. Opt for some low heel shoes if you’re not usually a high heel lover. The best outfits are the ones you feel most like yourself in!

Winter Wedding Guest Accessories

Accessorizing is the key to making any outfit look polished. For special occasions (like a winter wedding) you definitely do not want to skip this step. It takes just a few seconds to add some staple accessories, but it makes all the difference.

Incorporate the trending winter shade, burgundy, into your look with a cute handbag. We’re so in love with this color; it’s timeless, flattering and will always be a fave during the cooler seasons.

Go all in with the details and add some dainty jewelry that you see yourself wearing post-wedding. We recommend shopping for pieces you know you’ll be obsessed with long after the event is over!
