Ready to explore what’s hot this winter? Let’s dive in!
Rich, Moody Color Palettes as a Winter Wedding Trend in 2024
Rich, moody color palettes are all the rage for winter weddings in 2024, and we’re loving it! Think deep emerald green, burgundy, and midnight blue. These shades aren’t just about making a statement; they’re all about setting a vibe. Whether you’re hosting your celebration right here in Montgomery County, or another stunning location, these darker, sophisticated tones bring a sense of warmth and elegance to the season. Imagine your winter wedding with lush, deep florals, gold accents, and candlelight flickering against a backdrop of rich colors you hand-picked for this special day. It’s a combination of luxury and intimacy that’s perfect for cozy indoor settings or upscale outdoor venues. These palettes are the perfect way to create a memorable atmosphere that feels timeless, yet totally on trend. Plus, these colors photograph beautifully!
Luxe Fabrics and Textures as a Winter Wedding Trend in 2024
In 2024, winter weddings are turning up the heat with luxe fabrics and textures that are as cozy as they are stunning! This trend is all about rich velvet, glossy satin, and elegant silk — each of these add depth and drama to your big day. Whether it’s a velvet gown that makes you feel like royalty (because on this day, you are!) or satin bridesmaid dresses that catch the light just right, these fabrics bring a beautifully sophisticated vibe to the aisle. Velvet, in particular, is a top choice this season, with its soft, plush texture and ability to hold color (and warmth) like no other fabric. Satin adds that beautiful shine and smooth feel, while silk drapes gracefully and elegantly.
PS – Don’t worry ladies, we didn’t forget about your groom! Guys can also join in the fabric fun by incorporating textures into their looks. Think velvet or satin pocket squares to add a dash of richness and complement the day’s color palette.
Long-Sleeved Gowns & Covered Necklines as a Winter Wedding Trend in 2024
Long-sleeved gowns and covered necklines are officially in as a winter wedding trend in 2024. Brides are officially merging practicality with style and choosing a fabric that says, “I’ll look stunning and stay warm enough to enjoy my day without freezing my veil off!” You go, girl! Long sleeves are the perfect way to combine elegance and practicality, offering a little extra coverage while still allowing you to strut your stuff down the aisle like the fashion icon you are. From delicate lace to sleek satin, there’s a sleeve style for every bride, whether you’re channeling vintage glam or modern princess. And let’s not forget the magic of covered necklines—think high necks, mock turtlenecks, and bateau necks—that not only keep the chill at bay but also give your look a refined, regal vibe. These styles are all about embracing winter’s cool temps while looking impossibly glamorous.
(We said princess vibes, right?!)
Statement Outerwear as a Winter Wedding Trend in 2024
This winter, statement outerwear is trending and we are loving every cozy minute of it! This winter wedding trend takes your bridal look to the next level, proving (once again) that practicality and style can absolutely go hand in hand. From elegant shawls to dramatic capes and sleek wraps, these pieces add the perfect touch of sophistication while also serving as your secret weapon for warmth. Think lush faux fur, rich velvet, or even soft cashmere—materials that feel as luxurious as they look. Plus, they’re the perfect way to accessorize your dress without covering it up! Whether you’re channeling vintage glam or modern princess, statement outerwear has you covered—literally.
Winter-Inspired Floral Arrangements as a Winter Wedding Trend in 2024
Winter-inspired floral arrangements are truly blossoming (get it, blossoming? We had to!) as a top winter wedding trend in 2024. Winter weddings offer a magical opportunity to embrace the beauty of the season with floral arrangements that are as charming as they are festive. While summer weddings might boast vibrant peonies and sunflowers, winter-inspired florals take a more refined, seasonal turn—think lush evergreens, bright red holly, velvety roses, and elegant amaryllis. The key is in the mix of white flowers with pops of those earthy tones we discussed earlier – deep reds, burgundies, and rich greenery that evoke an ethereal beauty and romantic touch. And let’s not forget the beauty of seasonal touches like holly berries or delicate sprigs of ivy to tie it all together.
