It’s your wedding and its Christmas time also. The color of the Christmas wedding dress, the style, the accessories, all have to be chosen keeping in mind the spirit of the Christmas season. However,a Christmas wedding narrows your choice of wedding dresses.
Nowadays instead of wearing traditional Christmas wedding dresses,brides are following the latest trend in the wedding fashion world.
Christmas Wedding Dress for the Bride
Green and red perfectly match the spirit of Christmas. However if you don’t want to go for a red or a green wedding dress, you can add a touch of green or red to the dress. Colors like white, cream, silver, gold, light blue and burgundy looks great during the winter season. As far as the fabrics are concerned taffeta, satin or velvet make perfect Christmas wedding dresses. Beads,sequins or a golden embroidery gives a classy look to your wedding dress. A red silk sash can be used round the waist of the wedding dress to look trendy.
Dress for the Bridesmaids
Bridesmaids can either wear a dress of the same color as the bride, or go in for red, forest green, gold, silver or royal blue wedding dresses. Long dresses,topped with shrugs, faux-fur and muffs looks stunning.
Here are some ideas to help you choose your perfect Christmas wedding dress:
Wear a beautiful strapless wedding dress and top it with a faux-fur cloak. Throw back the hood, wear your hair in a sleek, tiara- topped chignon, then warm your hands with a luxuriant fur muff. Voila: high fashion without the frozen toes.
Another popular option: an asymmetrical faux fur wrap that rests on one shoulder, or the fur or marabou shrug that covers both. These styles make the perfect finalé for a strapless wedding dress with a little beading.
Capelets and stoles are more substantial faux-fur accessories with dramatic flair, but they hide more of your dress.
For bridesmaid dresses popular short black cocktail dress with cranberry colored silk scarves, gloves, shoes and hats as accessories are perfect.
Save your Christmas wedding decorations by choosing red and green as wedding colors. Most churches will already be adorned with these colors. However, if you can also use white, cream, silver, gold, light blue, burgundy and forest green.
You can get inspired by the rich garments of Three Wise Men from the East and use bold colors with lots of details and golden embroidery in rich fabric for your wedding ensemble.
Instead of usual a bouquet, you can use exotic tropical flowers.
Flowers that are traditionally used in conjunction with Christmas and thus, suitable Christmas wedding bouquet are poinsettia, holly and baby’s breath.
Fabrics for your Christmas wedding attire can range from taffeta to velvet depending on how plush and formal you want your wedding to be.
