Gorgeous Winter Wedding Guest Dresses to Buy Now
J. Crew Factory
If you'll be attending a wedding during the winter, these stylish dresses are fit for the occasion. Winter weddings can be tricky to prepare for, especially if the ceremony and reception is at the same venue but require a brisk walk in the cold between buildings. Of course, it's also important to keep in mind that some bright colors may not be as fitting for a winter wedding as they would be for a spring or summer wedding. Your dress should also be functional enough for you to dance at the wedding reception. We've chosen silky satin numbers and soft velvet options, so you'll be able to strut your stuff and have a good time.
We've rounded up our favorite formal winter wedding guest dresses along with some casual winter wedding guest dress options, so you have a range of dresses to choose from. Complement the colors of the season by choosing a navy, red, or green dress. Gold accents and accessories also warm up your ensemble for a cheery look. Top it all off with a sassy fur coat or soft wrap and you're golden. Looking for a long sleeve dress? We've included a handful of those as well, so you're sure to stay warm at the wintry forest venue. Your bestie decided to get married on the beach in February? Sounds a bit windy, but do not worry! We've included some winter beach wedding guest dresses too.
In addition to wearing these beautiful numbers to winter weddings, these dresses are also great options to keep in your closet for dinners and parties that come up throughout the busy holiday season. Now here's hoping an invite lands in our mailbox soon so we have an excuse to wear one of these beauties this winter.
