How to Style Your Wedding Dress for Different Seasons

Choosing your wedding dress is one of the most exciting parts of planning your big day. However, how you style your wedding dress can vary greatly depending on the season in which you’re getting married. At Brides & Bloom, Adelaide’s premier bridal store featuring wedding and bridesmaid dresses from exclusive international and Australian designers, we understand the importance of tailoring your look to the time of year. Here’s our guide on how to style your wedding dress for every season.

Spring: Embrace Fresh and Floral

Spring weddings are all about new beginnings and fresh starts, making them the perfect time to embrace floral designs and lighter fabrics.

Dress Styles: Look for wedding dresses with floral lace appliqués or embroidered details. A-line and sheath dresses in lightweight fabrics like tulle or chiffon can provide a whimsical and romantic look suitable for spring.

Accessories: Complement your dress with floral crowns or delicate hair vines. Fresh flowers can also be incorporated into your hairstyle for an added touch of spring.

Bridesmaid Dresses: Choose pastel shades or soft floral patterns for your bridesmaids, enhancing the overall fresh and vibrant spring vibe.

Summer: Light and Airy Elegance

Summer weddings often mean warm weather, so it’s important to choose a dress that will keep you cool while looking stunning.

Dress Styles: Opt for sleeveless, strapless, or off-the-shoulder styles that allow for more ventilation. Fabrics like organza, georgette, and light lace are excellent choices. Consider a shorter dress or one with a high slit for added comfort.

Accessories: Minimalist jewellery works best in summer. Think about a simple veil, or for a beach wedding, a flower crown. Open-toe sandals or even barefoot sandals can be perfect for a beach or garden setting.

Bridesmaid Dresses: Bright, bold colours or tropical prints can make your bridal party pop against the summer backdrop.

Autumn: Warm and Earthy Tones

Autumn weddings are all about rich, warm hues and a slightly more rustic feel.

Dress Styles: Consider dresses with sleeves or heavier fabrics like satin or silk that still offer movement and comfort. Dresses with lace details or earthy tones can complement the autumn season beautifully.

Accessories: Add a touch of autumn with gold or copper-toned jewellery. A shawl or bolero can add warmth and style. Consider a bouquet with autumn foliage and rich-coloured flowers.

Bridesmaid Dresses: Deep burgundy, burnt orange, or forest green bridesmaid dresses will look stunning and complement the autumn landscape.

Winter: Luxurious and Cozy

Winter weddings provide an opportunity to go for more luxurious and cozy styling options.

Dress Styles: Long-sleeve wedding dresses in fabrics like velvet, heavy satin, or brocade can provide warmth and elegance. Dresses with fur or faux fur details, like a fur stole or cape, can add a touch of luxury.

Accessories: Think sparkling accessories like crystal tiaras or statement earrings. A winter bouquet can include evergreens, pine cones, and white flowers. Consider elegant gloves or a hand muff for outdoor photos.

Bridesmaid Dresses: Rich jewel tones such as emerald, sapphire, or plum can add warmth and elegance. Consider adding faux fur wraps or shawls for your bridesmaids.
