Dressing for a winter wedding is no easy feat. You want to be put together but don’t want to freeze your limbs off. Then, if the wedding has a theme, you’ve got to adhere to what the dress code calls for. Among the sea of dresses on the internet, there’s a number of options for dresses that match themes around color, texture, and style. Plus, several wedding guest dresses are available in a wide range of sizes. 

What Is the Dress Code for a Guest at a Winter Wedding?

The general rule for a winter wedding is the same as every other wedding: don’t wear white unless the couple requested an all-white wedding. Along with the color, think about length. Winter is the coldest season, so by opting for longer sleeves and dress lengths, you’re more likely to stay warm throughout the evening without needing a coat, hat and gloves.
