I can understand the reluctance a bride has when she finds her perfect dress to cover it up. I think that may be why so few Australian brides choose a wedding in winter.

Iwould like to put forward some ideas to inspire anyone considering a cold weather wedding.

Texture and softness with hand knits

A knitted dress in fine yarn

Gloves if you are happy to make everyone wait as you carefully peel one off for your exchange of rings.

Fingerless gloves if you don’t want any drama

Embellished socks and heels

A sequin cloche or beanie for a bride who isn’t worried about her hair or looks super cute with her hair all tucked up in a hat.

A cream jacket purchased within budget then given the Chanel haute couture treatment with sew on jewels.

PS, I love knitting and crochet and would love to sit down with a winter bride and plan her dress as well as her hand knittted cashmere shawl….
