The Wedding Planner: What to Wear to a Winter Wedding
Whether the invitation calls for black tie, castle-chic, or something festive Liberty has the best wedding guest dresses for whatever kind of nuptials you’re attending this season
By: Maddi JohnIf you thought that wedding season was over, think again. With (ever so slightly) cheaper rates on offer and the chance of a snowy backdrop, many couples opt for the winter months to tie the knot. But what should you wear to a winter wedding? Well, that depends on the location. Whether you’re attending a rustic reception in the countryside, New Year’s nuptials in the city or a classic ceremony at Christmas, trust Liberty to get you dressed.
The Winter Wonderland Wedding
Dries Van Noten Doni Dress, £1,220
With fantastical decorations and romantic finishes, the magical wonderland wedding invite usually calls for black tie. But fret not, no one’s expecting you to wear a ball gown; you just need a long dress in a luxurious fabric. Our pick? The Dries Van Noten Doni Dress, £1,220, is the epitome of elegance with its voluminous full-skirt and monochrome print. If colour is on the cards, Aje’s Dusk Knot Puff-Sleeve Dress, £460,, comes in a subtle champagne pink with puffed sleeves practically made for a fairytale wedding.

The Vampire's Wife The Fortune Teller Robe £1,150
As intimate weddings become increasingly popular, a cosy or casual wedding is most likely penciled in your diary this winter. If the invite states candle-lit-castle or rustic barn, then florals, earthy tones and bohemian styles are welcomed. Adorned in Liberty’s classic Thrope floral pattern, The Vampire's Wife The Fortune Teller Robe £1,150, is appropriately opulent, while its loose silhouette and romantic flourishes gives it a rustic edge. Alternatively, Align’s Gypsophelia Gingham Midi-Dress, £90, is simple yet stylish, with classic cream and black gingham plaid that is particularly favorable for countryside celebrations.

The Festive Wedding
Stine Goya Anny Dress, £340
One of the less obvious dress codes of the winter wedding series, the festive wedding is the time to whip out a playful ensemble with colourful prints and statement silhouettes – sequins are most definitely invited. Cut from a sumptuously soft satin-like polyester and featuring a gorgeous geometric pattern in metallic green and pink, the Stine Goya Anny Dress, £340, was made for festive celebrations. For the minimalist, tackle statement dressing with Dries Van Noten Bomeos Bis Jacket, £795 – an 80s infused, satin-effect blazer complete with incredible padded shoulders.

Dries Van Noten Long Sequin-Embellished Skirt, £975
Few occasions call for all-out-glamour but a New Year’s Eve Wedding is without a doubt the time to pull out all the stops. A dialed-up dress code is indeed expected – think metallic hues, playful prints and head-turning textures. Dazzle in sequins with Dries Van Noten Long Sequin-Embellished Skirt, £975 for a discoesque ensemble or opt for eclectic elegance with this Batsheva Collarless Mini Prairie Dress, £270, a holographic mini dress perfect for dancing the night away.

Rixo Liberty Dress, £285
If you’re lucky enough to be jetting off to warmer climes to celebrate a ceremony on the beach, then a breathable, light-weight dress is in order. Crafted from gold-toned, viscose jacquard, the Rixo Liberty Dress, £285, is a breath of fresh air with its vibrant sheen and fluttery cap-sleeves – cool and sophisticated. For beach nuptials, a mini dress may come in handy, especially when dancing on the sand, so look to something light and loose, like Kitri Olga Tie-Back Pink Geo Mini-Dress, £150 – a punchy pink and red patterned dress, cut with statement sleeves and a romantic bow-tie.
