What should a guest wear for a winter wedding?

classy sequin winter guest dress: Lulus

What you wear to a winter wedding will mostly depend on the dress code, venue, and weather of the “I do’s.”

While snuggly sweater dresses may be the name of the game for an outdoor mountaintop ceremony, they wouldn’t work as well for a ballroom event that calls for semi-formal attire.

That’s why it’s always best to double-check the dress code on the invite and look up the venue (and the forecast, if it’s a destination wedding) before saying yes to a cold weather dress.

When in doubt, we suggest sticking to classic winter silhouettes, cozy textures, and colors, with a few modern trends thrown in. For our fave cold weather fashion, keep scrolling!

What makes for a great winter wedding guest dress?

While there’s no one-size-fits-all winter wedding guest dress, there are a few qualities that we love to see in cold weather gowns!

Winter is notorious for velvet, as it’s luxe and warm — and pairs beautifully with opaque tights! We’re also suckers for a bit of shimmer during the holiday season, from shiny satin to sparkly sequins (a HUGE trend this year!).

And just because the days are shorter and the nights are colder, that doesn’t mean it’s time to give up on florals. Dark and moody blossoms are absolutely stunning when paired with the jewel tones that always pop up this time of year.

Finally, long sleeves are a no-brainer for winter guest dresses, but that doesn’t mean they’re the only option! There are tons of great ways to style shorter sleeves (and hemlines) so you can stay cozy and chic all night long. Which brings us to our next FAQ…

How to Style Winter Wedding Guest Dresses

When we think about winter fashion, we picture glitz, glamour, and a whole lot of layering. Which makes styling winter wedding guest dresses SO fun!

First and foremost, outerwear is a MUST for the season — so you might as well make it cute! This year, the leather look is trending big time, and we can’t get enough of these vegan leather blazers.

But for something more glam to pair with winter wedding guest dresses, faux fur jackets bring the style and the warmth (and they won’t ruin a formal ‘fit!).

If the wedding is in a colder climate, we also love styling shorter winter dresses with tights — these TikTok famous ones look sheer but are actually fleece-lined! — and boots. Knee-highs are having their moment right now, and it’s safe to say we’re obsessed!

Finally: accessories. Whether you’re going to a NYE wedding or just want to add a little sparkle to your look, glittery necklaces, statement earrings, and beaded purses are always a good idea!
