Searching for what to wear to a winter wedding? Take a look at our winter wedding guest style guide by dress code: formal wedding guest outfits, winter semi-formal/cocktail dresses, and more casual dresses for afternoon winter weddings. Whether the wedding is during the holiday season or in the new year, you’re sure to find the right dress for a winter wedding.
Formal
Formal wedding dress code outfits typically call for a floor-length dress. For the winter season, we love gemstone hues and satin or silky fabrics. Velvet is also an eye-catching fabric for winter wedding outfits. Don't be afraid to go for a non-dress option like a fun jumpsuit or sparkly pants and blouse combination.
Semi-formal/Cocktail
Dresses for a cocktail wedding dress code can be either midi or knee-length – whichever you prefer. This is where your closet staple little black dress has its time to shine!
Afternoon
The most casual attire of all wedding dress codes, we love printed dresses like plaids and florals for a winter wedding venue attire. Another great option is a timeless sweater dress or festive skirt and bodysuit combination. Winter wedding guest outfit options can be so fun to choose especially during the holiday season!
Coats
With the colder temperatures, don’t forget an extra layer or coat when selecting what to wear to a winter wedding. No matter the event, these styles will become staples in your closet during this colder season.
