What To Wear To A Winter Wedding 2024

Heading to a cold-weather ceremony? Off-season weddings don’t mean you have to compromise on style. Whether you’re heading to a traditional affair in the country or a casual celebration in the city, we’ve rounded up the trends to try at weddings this Autumn Winter.

Velvet dresses

Winter months call for tactile textures in rich shades and velvet is our favoured fabric this season. With a host of dresses and jumpsuits to choose from, there are short styles and elegant midi lengths, as well as simple silhouettes and unexpected detailing – see our Charley Velvet Flippy Dress with voluminous sleeves and a playful, flippy skirt. In a wearable shade of teal, this feels like the perfect long sleeve dress for winter wedding guests. For the finishing touches, add minimal heeled sandals and an oversized blazer for a contemporary edge.

SEQUIN DRESSES

Wondering how to transition from an afternoon ceremony to an evening reception? Bundle up in a chic longline coat for the first half of the day, showing a subtle hint of glamour via a party heel. Then as the evening arrives, slip off your coat to reveal a statement-making dress. A sequin dress is just the ticket for making an impact and signalling a shift in the evening’s tempo. Our Floral Sequin Lyra Dress is an effortless choice — its understated silhouette is offset by maximum all-over sparkle to indulge your inner maximalist. Keep accessories pared-pack and let the dress do the talking.

EASY JUMPSUITS

If dresses and skirts aren’t your thing, we’ve got a selection of modern (and occasion-appropriate) jumpsuits to try this season. Perfect for cooler temperatures, our selections are immaculately tailored and, as a head-to-toe outfit, they’re designed to take the stress out of getting dressed — after all, there’s no coordinating separates to contemplate. Thankfully, there’s also a wide variety to choose from to ensure there’s an option for every kind of occasion: our Leah Sequin Jumpsuit will dazzle at evening receptions, while the elegant Edina can be dressed up or down. Pair with statement, slingback and a party-ready bag.

POWER SUITS

A smart suit will prove a refreshing switch-up after a summer likely spent wearing occasion dresses, so indulge in this new season mood with a sharp blazer and a pair of tailored trousers. Our Amelie suit in an oversized fit is a cool, contemporary choice for any wedding, whether intimate or extravagant. Dial up the party mood by pairing it with a metallic shirt to bring a glossy edge — look to our Lucie shirt, which brings a jewellery-like feel. Pair with a polished boot and a classic clutch bag for a look that will take you from morning nuptials to midnight with ease.

ACCESSORIES

When it comes to finishing touches, we have something to cater for every Autumn winter wedding outfit. If you’re styling up an understated look and need a reliable statement accessory, try adding our sleek Erica Snake Shoulder Bag, which is a refined pairing for all manner of evening wear. To elevate an effortless black dress or simple tailoring this season, our chunky Sphere Necklace in a high-shine silver tone and our Diamante Sphere Drop earrings are standalone design objects that add a contemporary spin to any look, while our range of hair accessories are a polished choice for more casual events.
