How to Create the Most Beautiful Bridesmaids at a Winter Wedding?

When we think of the winter wedding season we think of deep rich tones and that added bit of sparkle and glamour. Winter combines the magic of the holiday season, snowy wintery weather (depending on where you live), and celebrates the end of the year. Winter is a great time of year to get married – everyone is in the festive mood to celebrate, and the darkness that winter brings adds a sense of mystery and drama to your special day. But what are the trends with bridesmaids at a winter wedding? As an expert in bridesmaid dresses, here are some favorite winter shades and bridesmaid dress designs for you to explore. Let’s take a closer look:

Glamorous Metallics

Starting off our list is glamorous metallics. Metallics are arguably our favorite color for bridesmaid gowns in the winter as it matches the sparkling of the snow and the twinkling of fairy lights. Winter is the perfect season as it includes both warm and cool-toned metallics, meaning you’ve got your pick of the bunch. Our favorites are a bright silver, that pairs with icy greys and blues or a rose gold, which is perfect with warmer, dark jewel tones. One of our bestselling metallic long rose gold satin bridesmaid dresses is the Chicsew Isabel dress. This floor-length, off-the-shoulder mermaid design will hug the figure of any bridesmaid wearing it, beautifully skimming their curves and accentuating all the right places. The dress has a small, floaty train on the back of the dress for an added elegance and thick off-the-shoulder straps for a look that is welcome on the red carpet. This dress is great for winter weddings in a mild climate or can be paired with a shawl in an accent colour from your wedding theme for cooler locations.

Navy and Burnt Orange

For both autumn and winter wedding celebrations, navy and burnt orange form a lovely color combination. A dark navy blue offers an alternative to the traditional black suit, adding some warmth to your color palette. This is complimented beautifully by a warm burnt orange, dark enough for the winter months, but still vibrant and majestic enough to bring warmth and comfort to your wedding day. The most stunning long burnt orange satin bridesmaid dresses design is the Chicsew Adrienne dress. This mermaid silhouette is one of the most popular dresses in our collection and looks great in this warm, muted orange tone. The sweetheart neckline accentuates the bust, while the sleeves that sit slightly off the shoulder give this dress an elegant and unique edge. The dress pulls in at the waist and skims over the hips giving your bridesmaids a great shape as they walk down the aisle.

Festive Reds

When we think of winter, one of the biggest celebrations that we think of is Christmas – and the classic red tones that come along with it. Think red Santa costumes, holly berries and even Rudolph’s shiny red nose. Due to this, red has often been a popular tone for winter weddings, with the vibrant tones standing out against the cool background of winter. Deeper tones are common in winter – such as deep ruby tones or dark burgundy shades. Burgundy goes nicely with a variety of suit colors, including black, navy, and grey, and looks terrific with either gold or rose gold accents. On top of this, burgundy is a fantastic color for plus-sized bridesmaids since the deep hue looks good on shapes and sizes and is known to be slimming in nature. Great winter wedding plus-sized burgundy satin bridesmaid dresses is the Chicsew BBlythe as it has long sleeves that are perfect for the winter weather, but a thigh-high split that keeps the design young and sexy. The v-neckline flatters any bust size while the dress pulls in to accentuate the waist in a flattering design.

Ice Greys and Blues

If your color theme focuses on a winter wonderland theme, there is no better color palette to use than cool-toned blues, silvers and greys that match the snow and ice often present during the winter season. Pair these tones with silver accents for that added glistening touch – these could be accessories for your bridesmaids, your table decorations or silver painted twigs placed gracefully within your bridal and bridesmaids’ bouquets. One of our favorite cool-toned bridesmaid dresses that are perfect for winter is the Chicsew Cynthia in the shade Mist. This beautiful cool pale blue tone is perfect for any ice-themed wedding and matches brilliantly with cool whites and silvers. The design of the dress is both sleek and elegant, with the spiky neckline mimicking the look of shards of ice – a real unique and show-stopping design. If you are getting married in a cooler location, consider pairing this with white shawls or fur boleros to keep your bridesmaids warm and cozy. Due to the intricate neckline, avoid wearing a necklace with this design and instead pair it with some statement silver earrings for that added sparkle.

Deep Jewel Tones

Why not step outside your comfort zone and move away from the traditional winter wedding shades and look for something a little more special? Step outside the box and discover a new wedding fashion trend that provides us with all the royal and regal inspiration we want for a fresh new look – deep jewel tones. Think of deep purples, emerald greens, and alluring sapphire blue. Even though each of these colors is bold on its own, together they can combine for a colorful, yet elegant palette. Mix-and-match dresses can be combined with complementing flowers and gold accessories which add to the glamour. A wonderful sapphire blue jewel-toned bridesmaid dress is the Chicsew Aileen in the shade Regency. The tight bodice and long-sleeved design of this dress are perfect for the winter months, while the sweetheart, off-the-shoulder neckline looks both classy and elegant. Pair this dress with a statement necklace to accentuate the décolletage.
