A winter wedding sounds romantic and ideally looks
like something out of a fairytale. And it can look like something out of a
fairytale if it snows, but with the ever changing British weather, it’s very
hard to predict how the weather will turn out on the big day.
With the weather in mind, it can be tricky when it
comes to choosing an outfit to wear at a winter wedding. Not only do you want
to show off your inner fashionista, but you also want to keep warm, as the last
thing you want to remember about the big day is how you shivered and shook as
the blustery wind skimmed over your skin. This later led to you being unwell.
To avoid being cold down to your bones, while
retaining both style and elegance, follow our tips for helping you stay warm.
Firstly, avoid the sleeveless blouse because bare skin
is the quickest way to feeling cold. It’s
actually a myth that only older women cover up their arms, and you can find
many outfits with full length sleeves without compromising on fashion. Below
are three examples:
Secondly, don’t be afraid to layer up! There is the
option to team your traditional Saree, Lehenga or Anarkali with a scarf, shawl
or jacket. When choosing your fabrics opt for something a little heavier like
silk or velvet to really keep the chill out. Anarkali style suits and the
Salwar Kameez are great choice because they can usually come ready to wear with
long sleeves and are available in many splendid styles and colours, so you
cannot go wrong!
Thirdly, invest in some thermal body warmers. You can
often by the top and bottoms separately and some are made to feel like a second
skin. Pop on a pair of thermal leggings and slip your Churidar or other
trousers over the top. Guaranteed snug-bug!
Fourthly, find a good pair of winter shoes that are
suitable for occasions such as weddings. Open toe shoes are not ideal as when
your feet get cold, the rest of your body will soon feel cold too. If you
choose ballet pumps, find some pop socks – some even go up the leg, as they
will keep your toes warm and they won’t be as obvious as normal socks, and you
won’t feel afraid to step out in style. Also you can find great discounts on Anarkali suits online.
Lastly, enjoy yourself. It may be briskly cold against
the rain or snow, but join in, have fun and get on the dance floor to get your
blood pumping!
