Winter Romance

Gowns with a slight sheen and sparkly details are ideal for weddings during snowy months. Select an elegant, refined dress in fabrics like satin or heavy silk with crystal or beaded embellishments. Cozy up with a wrap or cape in brocade, velvet or faux fur.

Spring Fling

When rays of sunshine and warmer temps return, select a gown with a hint of color or feminine touches like lace, soft pleats and floral motifs. Shed your cold-weather layers and don a strapless or spaghetti strap gown, but keep a wrap or umbrella handy in case of unexpected rain storms.
